public and Federal agencies with an

helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in

following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;

might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the

Title of Collection: Progress in
International Reading Literacy Study
(PIRLS 2016) Main Study.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0645.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10,317.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,764.
Abstract: The Progress in
International Reading Literacy Study
(PIRLS) 2016 is coordinated by the
International Association for the
Evaluation of Educational Achievement
(IEA) and in the U.S. administered by
the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES). Since its inception in
2001, PIRLS has continued to assess
students every five years (2001, 2006,
2011, 2016). It is typically administered
in more than 40 countries and provides
data for internationally benchmarking
U.S. performance in fourth-grade
reading. PIRLS also collects background
information on students, parents,
teachers, schools, curricula, and official
education policies. Each successive
round of participation in PIRLS
provides trend information about U.S.
4th-grade students’ knowledge and
abilities in reading relative to other
countries, and about the cultural
environments, teaching practices,
curriculum goals, and institutional
arrangements that are associated with
student achievement, and how these
change over time in different countries.
PIRLS 2016 includes an innovative new
assessment of online reading, ePIRLS,
which is designed to help countries
understand how successful they are in
preparing fourth-grade students to read,
comprehend, and interpret online
information. This submission requests
approval for the PIRLS 2016 main study
data collection scheduled to take place
between March and May 2016.
