Affected Public: Individuals or household. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 2,417,662. Burden Hours: 747,180. Abstract: NCES is requesting system clearance for the NAEP assessments to be administered in the 2011–2013 timeframe, similar to the system clearance approval that was granted for the 2005–2007 and 2008–2010 NAEP administrations (OMB 1850–0790). The primary reason for the system clearance request is that it enables NAEP to meet its large and complex assessment reporting schedules and deliverables through a more efficient clearance process. NAEP is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, civics, geography, economics, and the arts. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups, including race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time.
