SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department, 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
ICR that is described below. The
Department is especially interested in
public comments 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 record.
Title of Collection: School Pulse Panel
2022 Quarter 4 Revision.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0969.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 17,280.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,752.
Abstract: The School Pulse Panel
(SPP) is a monthly data collection
originally designed to collect voluntary
responses from a nationally
representative sample of public schools
to better understand how schools,
students, and educators are responding
to the ongoing stressors of the
coronavirus pandemic, along with other
priority items for the White House,
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and Department of
Education program offices. This
collection allows NCES to comply with
the January 21, 2021 E.O. 14000
Executive Order on Supporting the
Reopening and Continuing Operation of
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703

Schools and Early Childhood Education
Providers. The SPP study is extremely
important particularly now that COVID–
19 has not waned, and the pulse model
is one that the agency will need after the
pandemic subsides for other quickturnaround data needs. It is 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.
Initially cleared as an emergency (OMB
#1850–0963), the SPP monthly data
collection (OMB #1850–0969) was
formally cleared in April 2022, with
change requests (OMB #1850–0969 v.2–
3) clearing the May and June 2022
Questionnaires in April and May. A
revision (complete with 30D public
comment period; v.4) containing
projected questionnaire items for
August and September 2022 as well as
further change requests (v. 5–7) were
cleared in July and August 2022.
The purpose of this submission is to
propose and seek 30-day public
comment on new items (within the
scope of research domains both
previously established and minimally
revised in this request; see Part A
changes detailed below) to be collected
on the October, November, and
December instruments (Appendix B.6).
These items are considered very close to
final and will go through minimal
testing with school personnel to
examine any comprehension concerns
with item wording. Feedback from this
testing, as well as additional input from
SPP stakeholders, will result in
modifications and additions that will be
reflected in future change requests.
Some previously approved items that
are considered core content will be
collected in during these months.
Specifically, items on learning modes,
quarantine, and possibly items on afterschool programs will be repeated to
maintain trend over time. In addition to
the changes in Appendix B (new items)
and Part A (overall description of the
study), updated screenshots were also
added to Appendix A (communication
materials) in order to keep the materials
current, and additional details were
added to the descriptions of our
cognitive testing process in Part B. The
costs to the government have not
changed as a result of this revision nor
has the projected respondent burden.

Title: ‘‘Weatherization Assistance
Program (WAP)’’; (3) Type of Review:

ensure that program funds are being
used appropriately, effectively and
expeditiously. WAP Annual
Appropriations and Weatherization
Readiness Fund: On March 15, 2022, the

report metrics related to the expenditure
of these funds. Infrastructure

the WAP’s annual appropriations, this
PO 00000

highways, highway safety programs, and
transit programs, and for other
purposes.’’ The Weatherization
Assistance Program is listed as an IIJA
recipient under the Subtitle E—
