Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 56. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,738. Abstract: The National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) is the Nation’s only source of annual statistical information about total revenues and expenditures for public elementary and secondary education at the state level. NCES collects data annually from SEAs under Section 153(a)(1)(I) of the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C. 9543(a)(1)(I), which authorizes NCES to gather data on the financing and management of education. NCES and the Economic Reimbursable Surveys Division of the U.S. Census Bureau collaborate to collect public education finance data. The U.S. Census Bureau (Census), Governments Division, administers the NPEFS data collection for NCES under interagency agreement. NPEFS provides detailed finance data at the state level, including average daily attendance; school district revenues by source (local, state, and federal); and expenditures by function (instruction, support services, and noninstruction), sub function (e.g., school administration), and object (e.g., salaries). This survey also includes capital outlay and debt service expenditures. The NPEFS includes data on all public schools from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. NPEFS serves as both a statistical and an administrative collection used for a number of federal program funding allocations. In 2019, NCES requested an extension of approval for the NPEFS data collection, OMB Control Number 1850– 0067. NPEFS is an annual collection of state-level finance data that have been a component of NCES’s Common Core of Data (CCD) since FY 1982 (covering school year 1981/82). On August 22, 2019, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the collection of state-level finance data for the data collections of FY 19–FY 21 data. The expiration date is August 31, 2022. The statistical uses of NPEFS were previously set forth in National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) 2019–2021: Common Core of Data (CCD), Supporting Statement Part A, OMB# 1850–0067 v.17. This submission for 30-day public review requests changes to the National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) data collection. As a direct result of the COVID–19 circumstances, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Dec 21, 2020 Jkt 253001 the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is requesting to: 1. Amend the instructions for Average Daily Attendance (ADA) on NPEFS; 2. Obtain approval to send a letter to Chief State School Officers (CSSOs) and State Fiscal Coordinators pertaining to ADA; 3. Amend the data plan for NPEFS; 4. Add certain data items to NPEFS; 5. Make other small changes to FY 20 NPEFS, based on regular communication with state fiscal coordinators; and 6. Change the estimated respondent burden and the costs to the federal government incurred by the above changes. Dated: December 17, 2020.
