Title of Collection: National Household Education Survey 2016 (NHES:2016) Full-scale Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 1850–0768. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 191,803. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 32,029. Abstract: The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) is conducted by the National Center for PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34393 Education Statistics’ (NCES). NHES is NCES’s 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, children’s readiness for school, parent perceptions of school safety and discipline, before- and 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 two-stage 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. NHES surveys were conducted approximately every other year from 1991 through 2007 using random digit dial (RDD) methodology; beginning in 2012 NHES began collecting data by mail to improve response rates. This submission seeks clearance to conduct NHES:2016, which will repeat the child topical surveys conducted in 2012: The Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP), the Parent and Family Involvement in Education-Enrolled (PFI–E), and the Parent and Family Involvement in EducationHomeschooled (PFI–H), and will include the first adult topical survey in NHES since 2005, the Adult Training and Education Survey (ATES). The adult survey was developed in conjunction with the Interagency Working Group on Expanded Measures of Enrollment and Attainment (GEMEnA) and was pilot tested in the 2014 NHES Feasibility Study.
