Title of Collection: National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) 2014–2016 System Clearance. OMB Control Number: 1850–0790. Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection of information. Respondents/Affected Public: States, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,609,126. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 758,329. Abstract: NCES is requesting a 3 year generic system clearance for the National Assessment of Education PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Progress (NAEP) to be administered in the 2014–2016 timeframe (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, technology and engineering literacy (TEL), and the arts. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107–279 Title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by 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, noncognitive, 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. The nature of NAEP is that burden alternates from a relatively low burden in national-level administration years to a substantial burden increase in state-level administration years when the sample has to allow for estimates for individual states and some of the large urban districts. Consequently, the estimated respondent burden is substantially lower for the 2014 and 2016 versus the 2015 administration of NAEP. The NAEP results will be reported to the public through the Nations Report Card as well as other online NAEP tools. Dated: January 18, 2013.
