Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 24, 2013 / Notices diversifying its course offerings to meet the needs of all types of separating veterans, including first-term separations, mid-career separators, and career retirees. These groups are inherently different. First-term separators are the most likely to be immediately reentering the civilian labor market (and thus may be in need of skills training) and to be making use of their GI-Bills. They also have fewer experiences with significant transitions and life changes than their older, more tenured counterparts. Comparing the demographic characteristics of our focus group participants with those of firstterm and other separators will allow us to determine if the inputs we receive are likely reflective of the population of transitioning veterans at large, or if they likely represent only specific subsets of the transitioning population. We will audio tape these discussions so that transcription can occur after the discussions have been conducted. We will be certain that any introductions are made prior to the tape recorder being turned on, should the focus group members want to introduce themselves. Discussion topics will include: • Organizations and social structures • Community location decision • Initial intentions after separation • Reintegration challenges • Transition Assistance Program (TAP) effect on reintegration • Community involvement effect Dated: July 10, 2013.

    Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten 
Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011), sponsored by the National Center for 
Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences 
(IES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), is a survey that 
focuses on children's early school experiences beginning with 
kindergarten and continuing through the fifth grade. It includes the

nonparental care providers, as well as direct child assessments. Like 
its sister study, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten 
Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K), the ECLS-K:2011 is exceptionally broad in 
its scope and coverage of child development, early learning, and school 
progress, drawing together information from multiple sources to provide 
rich data about the population of children who were kindergartners in 
the 2010-11 school year. This submission requests OMBs clearance for 
(1) a spring 2014 third-grade national data collection; (2) recruitment 
for the spring 2015 fourth-grade data collection, and (3) tracking 
students for the spring 2016 fifth-grade data collection.
