teachers and principals, respectively,
who leave the profession and will
permit comparisons of stayers, movers,
and leavers to fulfill the legislative
mandate for NCES to report on the
‘‘condition of education in the United
States.’’ ‘‘Stayers’’ are teachers or
principals who remain in the same
school between the NTPS year of data
collection and the follow-up year.
‘‘Movers’’ are teachers or principals who
stay in the profession but change
schools between the NTPS year and the
follow-up year. ‘‘Leavers’’ are NTPS
respondents who leave the teaching or
principal profession between the NTPS
year and the follow-up year. The 2021–
22 TFS analysis file will include TFS
data in addition to data collected in the
2020–21 NTPS on teacher
characteristics, qualifications,
perceptions of the school environment
and the teaching profession, and a host
of other topics. Prior TFS data have
played an important role in improving
the understanding of teacher supply and
demand and the conditions that affect
the balance between the two. NTPS and
TFS provide national data on turnover
in the teacher workforce, including rates
of entry and attrition from teaching,
sources and characteristics of newly
hired teachers, and characteristics and
destinations of Leavers. These data help
shift the debate from the issue of teacher
quantity to teacher quality; that is, from
a focus on teacher shortages measured
in terms of the numbers of teaching
positions left vacant to the
qualifications of teachers who are hired
and retained to fill teaching positions.
The cross-sectional repeated design of
TFS allows the analysis of trends related
to these topics. The 2021–22 PFS
analysis file will include PFS data in
addition to data on principal
characteristics, qualifications, and
perceptions of the school environment
from data collected in the 2020–21
NTPS. Together, NTPS and PFS will
provide national data on turnover in the
principal workforce, including rates of
entry and attrition from principalship,
sources and characteristics of newly
hired principals, characteristics and
destinations of leavers, and thanks to
the cross-sectional repeated design of
PFS, analyses of trends related to these
topics. This clearance request is to
conduct both 2021–22 NTPS follow-up
surveys (TFS and PFS), including all
recruitment and data collection
activities. This request seeks
authorization for 2021–22 TFS and
2021–22 PFS under the TFS single OMB
number (OMB# 1850–0617).

the NGA,\3\ any person \4\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.

157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\5\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is May 4, 2021. A protest may also serve as
a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also seeks to
be an intervenor.

Interventions
Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \6\ and the regulations under the NGA \7\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is May 4, 2021. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.
Comments

Commission considers all comments received about the project in

to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party, you
must intervene in the proceeding.
