Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education, is requesting clearance to continue the Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) Survey collection, which is intended to provide insight on State and U.S. territory SLDS capacity for automated linking of K–12, teacher, postsecondary, workforce, career and VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:09 May 24, 2021 Jkt 253001 28091 technical education (CTE), adult education, and early childhood data. The SLDS Survey will continue to be collected annually from State Education Agencies (SEAs), and will help inform NCES ongoing evaluation and targeted technical assistance efforts to enhance the quality of the SLDS Program’s support to States regarding systems development, enhancement, and use. The request to conduct all activities related to SLDS 2020–22, including materials and procedures, was approved by OMB in May 2020 (OMB#1859–0933 v.8), with a nonsubstantive change request (OMB#1859–0933 v.9) approved in August 2020. The SLDS 2020–22 package included a new data collection tool, a Google Form developed for an electronic data collection. That tool was not as successful in the 2020 data collection as NCES would like (see section A.3 for a richer discussion of this). This revised request is to conduct all activities related to SLDS 2021–23. It submits enhancements to the OMBapproved Survey, intended to bring consistency to questions across sectors, provide greater definition and clarity to terminology and questions used within the SLDS Survey, and address pandemic-related response across states. In addition, this request submits screenshots of the new Qualtrics information collection tool that will replace the Google Form introduced for SLDS 2020 and which will be used in the 2021 SLDS Data Collection (for proposed changes, see Appendix E) and is planned for use in subsequent collections. Finally, this request submits screenshots of the updated webinar, as the SLDS Program proposes the option to host one or two SLDS Survey webinars to familiarize respondents with the collection tool and completion process. All proposed changes are captured within these documents, including accompanying appendices. This notice announces a virtual meeting of the Electricity Advisory Committee.

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: Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) 
Survey 2021-2023.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0933.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 112.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 140.
    Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), of 
the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department 
of Education, is requesting clearance to continue the Statewide 
Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) Survey collection, which is intended to 
provide insight on State and U.S. territory SLDS capacity for automated 
linking of K-12, teacher, postsecondary, workforce, career and 
technical education (CTE), adult education, and early childhood data. 
The SLDS Survey will continue to be collected annually from State 
Education Agencies (SEAs), and will help inform NCES ongoing evaluation 
and targeted technical assistance efforts to enhance the quality of the 
SLDS Program's support to States regarding systems development, 
enhancement, and use. The request to conduct all activities related to 
SLDS 2020-22, including materials and procedures, was approved by OMB 
in May 2020 (OMB#1859-0933 v.8), with a nonsubstantive change request 
(OMB#1859-0933 v.9) approved in August 2020. The SLDS 2020-22 package 
included a new data collection tool, a Google Form developed for an 
electronic data collection. That tool was not as successful in the 2020 
data collection as NCES would like (see section A.3 for a richer 
discussion of this). This revised request is to conduct all activities 
related to SLDS 2021-23. It submits enhancements to the OMB-approved 
Survey, intended to bring consistency to questions across sectors, 
provide greater definition and clarity to terminology and questions 
used within the SLDS Survey, and address pandemic-related response 
across states. In addition, this request submits screenshots of the new 
Qualtrics information collection tool that will replace the Google Form 
introduced for SLDS 2020 and which will be used in the 2021 SLDS Data 
Collection (for proposed changes, see Appendix E) and is planned for 
use in subsequent collections. Finally, this request submits 
screenshots of the updated webinar, as the SLDS Program proposes the 
option to host one or two SLDS Survey webinars to familiarize 
respondents with the collection tool and completion process. All 
proposed changes are captured within these documents, including 
accompanying appendices.
