2019 (OMB# 1850–0645 v.11–12), while
the submission describing all aspects of
the field test and recruitment for the
main study was approved in October
2019 (OMB# 1850–0645 v.13). This
submission request is for all aspects of
the PIRLS 2021 main study, including
data collection activities, with an
accompanying 30-day public comment
period. After the international versions
of the main study questionnaires are
released by IEA in September 2020, a
submission for the main study
questionnaires with the proposed U.S.
adaptations in Appendices C1 and C2
will be submitted in October 2020. In
the case that the final approved U.S.
adapted versions of the PIRLS 2021
main study questionnaires differ from
those provided in that October 2020
submission, the final versions will be
submitted to OMB for approval as a
change request in December 2020.

receive.
The Personnel Development Program
Data Collection System collects data
from grantees, scholars, and employers
who verify that scholars are employed

related services. This data collection
serves three program needs. First, data
from grantees, scholars, and employers
are necessary to assess the performance
of the Personnel Development Program
on its Government Performance Results
Act measures. Second, data from all
three sources are necessary to determine
if scholars comply with the service
obligation requirements. And finally,
project-specific performance data are
collected from grantees for project
monitoring and program improvement.
