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

Title of Collection: Private School
Universe Survey (PSS) 2019–20 and
2021–22.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0641.
Type of Review: An extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 32,677.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 6,577.
Abstract: The Private School Universe
Survey (PSS) is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) to collect basic information from
the universe of private elementary and
secondary schools in the United States.
The PSS is designed to gather biennial
data on the total number of private
schools, teachers, and students, along
with a variety of related data, including:
Religious orientation; grade-levels
taught and size of school; length of
school year and of school day; total
student enrollment by gender (K–12);
number of high school graduates;
whether a school is single-sexed or
coeducational; number of teachers
employed; program emphasis; and
existence and type of its kindergarten
program. The PSS includes all schools
that are not supported primarily by
public funds, that provide classroom
instruction for one or more of grades K–
12 or comparable ungraded levels, and
that have one or more teachers. The PSS

is also used to create a universe list of
private schools for use as a sampling
frame for NCES surveys of private
schools. The request to conduct the
2019–20 and 2021–22 PSS data
collections, and the 2021–22 PSS list
frame building operations, was
approved in April 2019 (OMB# 1850–
0641 v.9), and the last change was
approved in June 2020 (OMB#1850–
0641 v.12). This submission is
materially unchanged from previous
submissions and is submitted solely to
request an extension for data collection
activities. The current OMB clearance
expires in April 2022, but data
collection activities are currently
scheduled to extend into late May 2022.
There are no changes to burden or cost
to the federal government.
