of Education’s (the Department’s)
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES). The data will be published by
NCES and will be used by the Secretary
in the calculation of allocations for FY
2022 appropriated funds.

urged to submit accurate and complete
data by Friday, March 26, 2021, to
facilitate timely processing.
The deadline for the final submission
of all data, including any revisions to
previously submitted data for FY 2019
and FY 2020, is Friday, August 13,
2021. Any resubmissions of FY 2019 or
FY 2020 data by SEAs in response to

ADDRESSES: SEAs are encouraged to
submit data online using the interactive
survey form on the NPEFS data
collection website at: https://
surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs. The
NPEFS interactive survey includes a
digital confirmation page where a
personal identification number (PIN)
may be entered. A successful entry of
the PIN serves as a signature by the
authorizing official. Alternatively, a
certification form also may be printed
from the website, signed by the
authorizing official, and mailed to the
Economic Reimbursable Surveys
Division of the Census Bureau at the
Washington, DC, address provided
above, within five business days after
submission of the NPEFS web
interactive form.
In the alternative, SEAs may mail ED
Form 2447 to: U.S. Census Bureau,
ATTENTION: Economic Reimbursable
Surveys Division, 4600 Silver Hill Road,
Suitland, MD 20746.
If an SEA’s submission is received by
the Census Bureau after August 13,
2021, the SEA must show one of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
collects data annually from SEAs
through ED Form 2447. The report from
SEAs includes attendance, revenue, and
expenditure data from which NCES
determines a State’s ‘‘average per-pupil
expenditure’’ (SPPE) for elementary and
secondary education, as defined in
section 8101(2) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7801(2)).
In addition to using the SPPE data as
general information on the financing of
elementary and secondary education,
the Secretary uses these data directly in
calculating allocations for certain
formula grant programs, including, but
not limited to, title I, part A, of the
ESEA, Impact Aid, and Indian
Education programs. Other programs,
such as the Education for Homeless
Children and Youth program under title
VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance Act, and the Student Support
and Academic Enrichment Grants under
title IV, part A of the ESEA make use of
SPPE data indirectly because their
formulas are based, in whole or in part,
on State title I, part A, allocations.
In January 2021, the Census Bureau,
acting as the data collection agent for
NCES, will email ED Form 2447 to
SEAs, with instructions, and will
request that SEAs commence submitting
FY 2020 data to the Census Bureau on
Thursday, January 29, 2021. SEAs are
urged to submit accurate and complete
E:\FR\FM\04JAN1.SGM
04JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 1 / Monday, January 4, 2021 / Notices
data by Friday, March 26, 2021, to
facilitate timely processing.
Submissions by SEAs to the Census
Bureau will be analyzed for accuracy
and returned to each SEA for
verification. SEAs must submit all data,
including any revisions to FY 2019 and
FY 2020 data, to the Census Bureau no
later than Friday, August 13, 2021. Any
resubmissions of FY 2019 or FY 2020
data by SEAs in response to requests for
clarification or reconciliation or other
inquiries by NCES or the Census Bureau
must be completed by Tuesday,
September 7, 2021. Between August 13,
2021, and September 7, 2021, SEAs may
also, on their own initiative, resubmit
data to resolve issues not addressed in
their final submission of NPEFS data by
August 13, 2021. All outstanding data
issues must be reconciled or resolved by
the SEAs, NCES, and the Census Bureau
as soon as possible, but no later than
September 7, 2021.
In order to facilitate timely
submission of data, the Census Bureau
will send reminder notices to SEAs in
June and July of 2021.
Having accurate, consistent, and
timely information is critical to an
efficient and fair allocation process and
to the NCES statistical process. The
Department establishes Friday, August
13, 2021, as the final date by which the
SEAs must submit data using either the
interactive survey form on the NPEFS
data collection website at: https://
surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs or ED
Form 2447. This date is established to
ensure that the best, most accurate data
will be available to support timely
distribution of Federal education funds.
Any resubmissions of FY 2019 or FY
2020 data by SEAs in response to
75
requests for clarification or
reconciliation or other inquiries by
NCES or the Census Bureau must be
completed through the interactive
survey form on the NPEFS data
collection website or ED Form 2447 by
Tuesday, September 7, 2021. If an SEA
submits revised data after the final
deadline that result in a lower SPPE
figure, the SEA’s allocations may be
adjusted downward, or the Department
may direct the SEA to return funds.
SEAs should be aware that all of these
data are subject to audit and that, if any
inaccuracies are discovered in the audit
process, the Department may seek
recovery of overpayments for the
applicable programs.
Note: The following are important dates in
the data collection process for FY 2020 data
and revisions to reports for previous fiscal
years:
