On March 10, 2015, the White House issued a Student Aid Bill of Rights. Among the objectives identified was the creation of a centralized complaint system that is now resident and supported via the Federal Student Aid/Customer Engagement Management System. The purpose of the Customer Engagement Management System (CEMS) is to meet the objective: ‘‘Create a Responsive Student Feedback System: The Secretary of Education will create a new website by July 1, 2016, to give students and borrowers a simple and straightforward way to file complaints and provide feedback about federal student loan lenders, servicers, collections agencies, and institutions of higher education. Students and borrowers will be able to ensure that their complaints will be directed to the right party for timely resolution, and the Department of Education will be able to more quickly respond to issues and strengthen its efforts to protect the integrity of the student financial aid programs.’’ VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Feb 11, 2022 Jkt 256001 Dated: February 8, 2022.

Title of Collection: National Household Education Survey 2023 (NHES:2023) Full-scale Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 1850–0768. Type of Review: A reinstatement with change of a previously approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 137,150. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 18,295. Abstract: The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) collects data directly from households on early childhood care and education, children’s readiness for school, parents’ perceptions of school safety and discipline, before- and after-school activities of school-age children, participation in adult and career education, parents’ involvement in their children’s education, school choice, homeschooling, and civic involvement. NHES surveys were conducted approximately every other year from 1991 through 2007 using random digit dial (RDD) sampling and telephone data collection from landline telephones only. Due to declining response rates in all RDD surveys, NCES redesigned NHES to collect data through selfadministered mailed questionnaires for the 2012 administration, which E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM 14FEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 30 / Monday, February 14, 2022 / Notices included the Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP), the Parent and Family Involvement in EducationEnrolled (PFI–E), and the Parent and Family Involvement in EducationHomeschooled (PFI–H) topical surveys. NHES:2016 continued the mail-based collection methodology, while also experimenting with the use of web survey collection. NHES:2019 continued the mail-based collection methodology and used the same methodology developed in the NHES:2016 web experiment for the majority of the sampled addresses. In 2019, 57 percent of cases responded by web, 36 by paper, and 7 percent by inbound phone. Also in 2019, PFI surveys for parents of enrolled and homeschooled students were merged into one survey instrument. NHES:2023 will again field the ECPP and the combined PFI survey used in the NHES:2019. NHES:2023 will use the same methodology developed in the NHES:2019 for the majority of sampled addresses, but will incorporate lessons learned from NHES:2019’s methodological experiments. Furthermore, given the potential change in the education landscape since COVID–19, particularly for online coursework, NCES plans to conduct a debriefing project with respondents during the NHES:2023 administration. The goal of the study is to gain greater insight about respondents who indicate that their child was enrolled in online courses. The debriefing interviews are designed to understand the true schooling experiences of these children and how well the survey functioned in capturing the context of these children’s virtual education experiences. The debriefing interviews will provide information that will assist NCES in understanding the NHES:2023 data on virtual education and in crafting items for future NHES administrations that will more accurately capture the details of virtual education.
