U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The determination is
based on the consideration that it is
expected that discussions throughout
will involve classified matters of
national security concern. Such
classified material is so intertwined
with the unclassified material that it
cannot reasonably be segregated into
separate discussions without defeating
the effectiveness and meaning of the
overall meetings. To permit the meeting
to be open to the public would preclude
discussion of such matters and would
greatly diminish the ultimate utility of
the DSB’s findings and
recommendations to the Secretary of
Defense and to the Under Secretary of
Defense for Research and Engineering.
Written Statements: In accordance
with section 10(a)(3) of the FACA and
41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140,
interested persons may submit a written
statement for consideration by the DSB
at any time regarding its mission or in
response to the stated agenda of a
planned meeting. Individuals
submitting a written statement must
submit their statement to the DSB DFO
at the email provided in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this notice at any point; however, if a
written statement is not received at least
three calendar days prior to the meeting,
which is the subject of this notice, then
it may not be provided to or considered
by the DSB until a later date.

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

Abstract: On October 20, 1994, the
Improving America’s Schools Act,
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Public Law 103–382 (The Act), became
law. The Act added a provision to the
General Education Provisions Act
(GEPA), section 427. Section 427 of
GEPA requires an applicant for
assistance under Department programs
to develop and describe in the grant
application the steps it proposes to take
to ensure equitable access to, and
equitable participation in, its proposed
project for students, teachers, and other
program beneficiaries. Applicants have
responded to the GEPA 427
requirements for approximately the last
27 years, and the current form expires
in June 2023. In response to the
Agency’s Equity Plan resulting from the
President’s Executive Order 13985, we
now propose to update that form by
expanding the number of questions from
one to four.
These four questions are intended to
help applicants for Department grant
funds to be more intentional and
specific as to identifying barriers to
equitable access and how they will
address those barriers consistent with
the requirements of section 427 of
GEPA. As with the existing form,
applicants retain the flexibility to
determine and define for themselves the
barriers to ‘‘equitable access’’ and
‘‘equitable participation’’ based on the
design of their proposed grant projects
and the participants and community the
project proposes to serve.

Abstract: The Teaching and Learning
International Survey (TALIS) is an
international survey of teachers and
principals focusing on the working
conditions of teachers and the teaching
and learning practices in schools. The
United States will administer TALIS for
the third time in 2024, having
participated in 2013 and 2018. TALIS
2024 is sponsored by the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD). TALIS is steered
by the TALIS Governing Board (TGB),
comprising representatives from the
OECD member countries, and
implemented internationally by
organizations contracted by the OECD
(referred to as the ‘‘international
consortium’’ or ‘‘IC’’). In the U.S.,
TALIS 2024 is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) of the Institute of Education
Sciences, U.S. Department of Education.
TALIS 2024 is focused on teachers’
professional environment, teaching
conditions, and their impact on school
and teacher effectiveness. TALIS 2024
will address teacher training and
professional development, teacher
appraisal, school climate, school
leadership, instructional approaches,
pedagogical practices, and teaching
experience with and support for
teaching diverse populations.
OECD has scheduled the main study
to occur in the Northern hemisphere
from February through March 2024 and
in the Southern hemisphere from June
through August 2024. To prepare for the
main study, several TALIS countries
will conduct pilot studies in February
2022; the U.S. will not participate.
Countries will also conduct a field test
in the first quarter of 2023, primarily to
evaluate newly developed questionnaire
items and school recruitment materials;
the U.S. will participate in the field test.
To meet the international data
collection schedule for the field test,
U.S. recruitment activities need to begin
by August 2022 and U.S. questionnaires
must be finalized by December 2022.
TALIS 2024 includes the core TALIS
teacher and principal surveys that are
required for each participating country,
as well as an optional Teacher
Knowledge Survey (TKS). The TKS is
intended to better understand the
teacher pedagogical knowledge base at
the national level. The US is including
the TKS in the upcoming TALIS 2024

field test and will evaluate these results
to determine the feasibility of including
TKS as part of the US Main Study.
The previous submission (OMB
#1850–0888 v.8) requested approval for:
(1) recruitment and pre-survey activities
for the 2023 field test sample; (2)
administration of the field test; and (3)
school recruitment and pre-survey
activities for the 2024 main study
sample. That package was approved in
August 2022. This submission requests
approval for the final international
versions of the principal and teacher
instruments approved for the TALIS
2024 Field Test. The final U.S.
adaptations of the 2024 core TALIS and
TKS field test questionnaires that will
be administered in the TALIS 2024 U.S.
Field Test will be submitted to OMB as
a non-substantive change request in
Winter 2022/23.
