Title of Collection: Charter School
Authorizer Annual Update.
OMB Control Number: 1855–0023.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 900.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,025.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education (ED) has as one of its
important policy goals expanding the
number of high-quality public school
choice options. Specifically, according
to Part B section 5201 of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act, two of
the established purposes of the Charter
School Program office are: Evaluating
the effects of charter schools, including
the effects on students, student
academic achievement, staff and
parents, and expanding the number of
high-quality charter schools available to
students across the nation.
Charter school authorization is at the
very crux of any efforts to expand and
ensure high-quality public school
choice options through public charter
schools because charter school
authorizers are the public entities
primarily responsible for: Initial charter
authorizations, on-going monitoring and
oversight, and charter renewal and
closure decisions.
Currently, there is no other
comprehensive national database of the
roughly 900 charter school authorizers
complete with the schools under their
authority; some of these data elements
are available from public documents,
but they are not made available to the
public consistently across all
authorizers. There is also no other
comprehensive, fully-populated tool for
tracking the activities of and evaluating
the quality of authorizers nationwide
based on their authorizing decisions in
light of schools performance. This data
collection will be administered to the all
charter school authorizers.

Title of Collection: 2015 National
Household Education Survey (NHES
2015) Full Scale Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0768.
Type of Review: A revision of an

Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 248,420.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 40,299.
Abstract: The National Household
Education Surveys Program (NHES) is
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES). NHES is
NCESs principal mechanism for
addressing education topics appropriate
for households rather than
establishments. Such topics cover a
wide range of issues, including early
childhood care and education, childrens
readiness for school, parent perceptions
of school safety and discipline, beforeand after-school activities of school-age
children, participation in adult
education and training, parent
involvement in education, school
choice, homeschooling, and civic
involvement. The NHES consists of a
series of rotating surveys using a twostage design in which a household
screener collects household
membership and key characteristics for
sampling and then appropriate topical
survey(s) are mailed to sample
members. Data from the NHES are used
to provide national cross-sectional
estimates on populations of special
interest to education researchers and
policymakers. For surveys about
children, the population of interest is
defined by age or grade in school, or
both, depending on the particular
survey topic and research questions. For
surveys of adults, the population of
interest is those aged 16 to 65 who are
not enrolled in grade 12 or below,
excluding those on active duty military
service and those who are
