Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 111 / Friday, June 11, 2021 / Notices
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: School Pulse Panel
Preliminary Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local or Tribal Govt.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 4,120.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,086.
Abstract: The School Pulse Panel is a
new study to collect extensive data on
issues concerning the impact of the
COVID–19 pandemic on students and
staff in U.S. public primary, middle,
high, and combined-grade schools. It
will be one of the nation’s few sources
of reliable data on a wealth of
information focused on school
reopening efforts, virus spread
mitigation strategies, services offered for
students and staff, and technology use,
as reported by school district staff and
principals in U.S. public schools. About
1,200 public elementary, middle, high,
and combined-grade schools will be
selected to participate in a panel where
school and district staff will be asked to
provide requested data monthly during
the 2021–22 school years. This
approach provides the ability to collect
detailed information on various topics
while also assessing changes in
reopening efforts over time. Given the
high demand for data collection during
this time, the content of the survey may
change on a quarterly basis.
The School Pulse Panel is essentially
a continuation of the National
Assessment of Education Progress
(NAEP) 2021 School Survey (OMB
#1850–0957) that was fielded in the
spring of 2021. That NAEP 2021 School
Survey met the need of Executive Order
14000 by using an existing sample and
survey instrument to quickly collect
information on instructional mode
offerings and enrollment counts of
various subgroups of students using the
various instructional modes. The School
Pulse Panel intends to continue to

collect this critical information, along
with other priority items for the White
House, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and Department of
Education program offices throughout
the 2021–22 school year.
Additional Information: NCES
requests emergency clearance to allow
us to comply with the January 21, 2021
Executive Order on Supporting the
Reopening and Continuing Operation of
Schools and Early Childhood Education
Providers which states that the
Department of Education must
‘‘coordinate with the Director of the
Institute of Education Sciences to
facilitate, consistent with applicable
law, the collection of data necessary to
fully understand the impact of the
COVID–19 pandemic on students and
educators, including data on the status
of in-person learning. These data shall
be disaggregated by student
demographics, including race, ethnicity,
disability, English-language-learner
status, and free or reduced lunch status
or other appropriate indicators of family
income.’’ Normal clearance procedures
would not allow IES to comply with the
intent of this E.O. NCES will publish a
Federal Register Notice soliciting 30
days of public comment on this
collection concurrent with district and
school recruitment.

Title of Collection: National Study to
Inform the 21st Century Community
Learning Centers (CCLC) Program.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: Request for a new
OMB Control Number.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,922.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 707.
Abstract: The 21st CCLC program
funds services during non-school hours,
primarily during the school year. The
services aim to help students meet state
academic standards, particularly for
students in low-performing schools that
serve high concentrations of low-income
families. Most participants (71 percent)
are students attending afterschool
centers during the school year, with the
remainder being family members (14
percent) or summer attendees (15
percent). Afterschool centers supported
by program funds provide a broad range
of activities and services, such as
academic enrichment, physical activity,
service learning, and activities to engage
families. Program activities and services
may play a crucial role in addressing the
substantial learning loss and other
challenges that have occurred as a result
of the COVID–19 pandemic.
This study will have two components.
The first is a national snapshot of
strategies that afterschool centers in the
21st CCLC program use to serve their
students and families. The national
snapshot will complement and extend
information from the program’s annual
performance measures by providing an
in-depth understanding of the key
outcomes centers aim to promote and
the diverse ways their activities and
services for students and families,
supports for staff, and improvement
strategies are designed to promote these
outcomes. Describing these strategies
can provide insights into ways that
centers seek to address longer-term
challenges, such as learning loss and
trauma, stemming from the pandemic.
The second component is an evaluation
of a continuous quality improvement
system implemented in the program’s
afterschool centers. The evaluation will
examine the implementation and
effectiveness of a system focused on
improving staff practices that promote
students’ social and emotional skills.
Promoting these skills may be
particularly important to compensate for
the effects of the pandemic, in light of
evidence that remote learning has
negatively affected students’ social and
emotional well-being.
This package is the second of two
packages. It only requests clearance for

data collection activities that will occur

collection activities that will occur
before March 2022.
