The NPEFS collection includes data on all state-run schools from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. NPEFS data are used for a wide variety of purposes, including to calculate federal program allocations such as states’ ‘‘average per-pupil expenditure’’ (SPPE) for elementary and secondary education, certain formula grant programs (e.g. Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as amended, Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs). Furthermore, in addition to using the SPPE data as general information on the financing of elementary and secondary education, the U.S. Department of Education Secretary uses these data directly in calculating allocations for certain formula grant programs, including, but not limited to, title I, part A, of the ESEA, Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs.

    Abstract: The National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) is 
an annual collection of state-level finance data that has been included 
in the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Common Core of 
Data (CCD) since FY 1982 (school year 1981-82). NPEFS provides function 
expenditures by salaries, benefits, purchased services, and supplies, 
and includes federal, state, and local revenues by source. The NPEFS 
collection includes data on all state-run schools from the 50 states, 
the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, 
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. NPEFS data are used for a 
wide variety of purposes, including to calculate federal program 
allocations such as states' ``average per-pupil expenditure'' (SPPE) 
for elementary and secondary education, certain formula grant programs 
(e.g. Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of

Furthermore, in addition to using the SPPE data as general information

formulas are based, in whole or in part, on State title I, part A, 
allocations.
    NCES's request to conduct the annual collection of state-level 
finance data for FY 2019-2021 was approved by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) in August 2019 (OMB #1850-0067 v.17), and subsequent 
submissions (OMB #1850-0067 v.18-22) addressed changes driven by the 
global coronavirus pandemic as well as normal changes to include 
updated contact materials and Federal Register Notices. In this package 
NCES requests approval of the collection of National Public Education 
Financial Survey (NPEFS) data covering fiscal years 2022 through 2024 
(corresponding to school years 2021/22 through 2023/24), that will be 
carried out in 2023 through 2025.
    This NPEFS FY 2022-2024 request involves changes to the last 
approved NPEFS data collection instrument (Appendix B.1) to: (1) add 
new items to gather data on expenditures for specific sources of 
coronavirus (COVID-19) federal assistance funds; (2) remove items from 
the survey which ask for Title V, Part A expenditures; and (3) update 
headers to make the formatting more consistent for use in the NPEFS web 
application. This request also includes minor revisions to the Fiscal 
Data Plan (Appendix B.2) to provide definitions and clarify the 
questions related to the impact of COVID-19 on average daily 
attendance. Furthermore, we have updated the NPEFS reporting 
instructions (Appendix B.3) to add definitions for the new data items 
in Section 8 and remove the data items for Title V, Part A.
