SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Middle Grades
Longitudinal Study of 2017–18
(MGLS:2017) Main Study Base Year
(MS1), Operational Field Test First
Follow-up (OFT2), and Tracking and
Recruitment for Main Study First
Follow-up (MS2).
OMB Control Number: 1850–0911.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:

Abstract: The Middle Grades
Longitudinal Study of 2017–18
(MGLS:2017) is the first study
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) to follow a
nationally representative sample of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
students as they enter and move through
the middle grades (grades 6–8). The data
collected through repeated measures of
key constructs will provide a rich
descriptive picture of the academic
experiences and development of
students during these critical years and
will allow researchers to examine
associations between contextual factors
and student outcomes. The study will
focus on student achievement in
mathematics and literacy along with
measures of student socioemotional
wellbeing and other outcomes. The
study will also include a special sample
of students with different types of
disabilities that will provide descriptive
information on their outcomes,
educational experiences, and special
education services. Main Study Base
Year (MS1) data for the MGLS:2017 will
be collected from a nationallyrepresentative sample of sixth-grade
students beginning in January 2018,
with annual follow-ups beginning in
January 2019 and in January 2020 when
most of the students in the sample will
be in grades 7 and 8, respectively. In
preparation for the Main Study (MS),
the data collection instruments and
procedures were field tested. An Item
Validation Field Test (IVFT) was
conducted in the winter/spring of 2016
to determine the psychometric
properties of assessment and survey
items and the predictive potential of
items so that valid, reliable, and useful
assessment and survey instruments
could be composed for the Main Study.
The MGLS:2017 Operational Field Test
(OFT) Base Year (OFT1) data collection
was conducted in the winter/spring of
2017. Tracking of students and
associated recruitment of schools for the
OFT First Follow-up (OFT2) data
collection is scheduled to begin in
August 2017. The primary purpose of
the OFT is to: (a) Obtain information on
recruiting, particularly for students in
three focal IDEA-defined disability
groups: Specific learning disability,
autism, and emotional disturbance; (b)
obtain a tracking sample that can be
used to study mobility patterns in
subsequent years; and (c) test protocols,
items, and administrative procedures.
The MS1 district and school recruitment
began in February 2017. The MS1 and
OFT2 data collections will begin in
January 2018. The Main Study First
Follow-up (MS2) tracking and
recruitment will begin in September
2018. OMB approved the MGLS:2017
OFT1 data collection, MS1 recruitment,
and OFT2 tracking materials and
procedures in December 2016 with the
latest change request approved in June
2017 (OMB #1850–0911 v.11–15). This
PO 00000
Frm 00024

request is to conduct: (1) The MS1 data
collection; (2) the OFT2 recruitment and
data collection; and (3) the tracking of
Main Study sample students and
associated recruitment of schools in
preparation for the MS2 data collection.
Due to overlap in timing, the approved
MS1 recruitment and OFT2 tracking
activities are being carried over in this
submission. Therefore, this submission
presents the procedures, materials, and
associated respondent burden for all
activities related to MS1 and OFT2, as
well as those related to MS2 tracking
and recruitment.
