public harm is reasonably likely to
result if normal clearance procedures
are followed. Approval by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has
been requested by January 2, 2008. A
regular clearance process is also
beginning. Interested persons are
invited to submit comments on or before
February 11, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of

that the Director of OMB provide
interested Federal agencies and the
public an early opportunity to comment
on information collection requests. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) may amend or waive the
requirement for public consultation to
the extent that public participation in
the approval process would defeat the
purpose of the information collection,
violate State or Federal law, or
substantially interfere with any agency’s
ability to perform its statutory
obligations. The IC Clearance Official,
Regulatory Information Management
Services, Office of Management,
publishes this notice containing
proposed information collection

Title: High School Longitudinal Study
of 2009 (HSLS:09).
Abstract: This is a request for
emergency clearance for field test
sampling. The High School
Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is
the most recent installment in the series
of NCES’ nationally representative
longitudinal studies of high school
students. The HSLS:09 will assess
students in math and science during the
fall of their 9th grade year and again in
the spring of most participating
students’ 11th grade year. The study
will also survey students, their parents,
teachers, guidance counselors, and
school administrators twice during the
secondary school years and follow
students into their postsecondary years.
The study will focus on how students
navigate the transition between high
school and the postsecondary world;
what courses, majors (or first job), and
careers students decide to pursue,
when, why, and how.
Additional Information: To meet the
timeline for the HSLS:09, the
Department is requesting an emergency
clearance. This unanticipated event
occurred since the contract was not
awarded until July 6, 2007. The field
test is slated to begin in Fall of 2008,
which is only a year from now. The fullscale data collection is scheduled to

commence in the Fall of 2009. To
ensure that the study remains on track
and on time, sampling must be
completed in January 2008 and school
recruiting for the field test must begin
by February 2008 at the very latest. The
field test is scheduled to start September
of 2008, and the six-month lead time
should be sufficient for review and
revision of the instruments before we
enter schools.
