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: National Teacher and Principal Survey of 2020–2021 VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:13 Mar 26, 2019 Jkt 247001 (NTPS 2020–21) Preliminary Field Activities. OMB Control Number: 1850–0598. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10,525. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,322. Abstract: The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted biennially by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a system of related questionnaires that provides descriptive data on the context of elementary and secondary education. Redesigned from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with a focus on flexibility, timeliness, and integration with other ED data, the NTPS system allows for school, principal, and teacher characteristics to be analyzed in relation to one another. NTPS is an in-depth, nationally representative survey of first through twelfth grade public and private school teachers, principals, and schools. Kindergarten teachers in schools with at least a first grade are also surveyed. NTPS utilizes core content and a series of rotating modules to allow timely collection of important education trends as well as trend analysis. Topics covered include characteristics of teachers, principals, schools, teacher training opportunities, retention, retirement, hiring, and shortages. The next administration of NTPS was originally planned for 2019–20 and the NTPS 2019–20 preliminary activities were approved in October 2018 with a change request approved in February 2019 (OMB# 1850–0598 v.24–25). However, due to staffing shortages at NCES, NCES had to delay the NTPS 2019–20 administration by one year, to the 2020–21 school year. No changes are planned to the materials and procedures approved for NTPS preliminary activities (OMB# 1850–0598 v.24–25), besides delaying all activities by one year. This request provides the dates, procedures, and materials for NTPS 2020–21 preliminary activities. After NTPS 2020–21, NCES plans to administer the next NTPS three years later, during the 2023–24 school year. Following the 2023–24 administration, NTPS is expected to be conducted every 2 years if resources allow. PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11533 Dated: March 21, 2019.
