ICILS is conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), an international collective of research organizations and government agencies that create the assessment framework, assessment, and background questionnaires. The IEA decides and agrees upon a common set of standards and procedures for collecting and reporting ICILS data, and defines the study timeline, all of which must be followed by all participating countries. As a result, ICILS is able to provide a reliable and comparable measure of student skills in participating countries. In the U.S., the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) conducts this study and works with the IEA and RTI International to ensure proper implementation of the study and adoption of practices in adherence to the IEA’s standards. Participation in ICILS will allow NCES to meet its mandate of acquiring and disseminating data on educational activities and student achievement in the United States compared with foreign nations [The Educational Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002) 20 U.S.C. 9543]. The U.S. ICILS main study will be conducted from March through May 2023 and will involve a nationallyrepresentative sample of at least 3,000 eighth-grade students from a minimum of 150 schools. Because ICILS is a collaborative effort among many parties, the United States must adhere to the international schedule set forth by the IEA, including the availability of final field test and main study plans as well as draft and final questionnaires. In order to meet the international data collection schedule and to align with recruitment for other NCES studies (e.g., TIMSS), approval for the main study sampling, recruitment, and data collection activities was approved in April 2022 (OMB# 1850–0929 v9). A 30D public comment period accompanied a set of revisions to the study timeline, study portal, main study contact materials, and the addition of COVID-related items in the questionnaires; those revisions were approved in October 2022 (OMB# 1850– 0929 v10). This request is for approval of (1) updated descriptions of data collection plans; (2) updated burden estimates related to main study questionnaire changes; and (3) changes to the final adapted main study questionnaires based on review by IEA. This request is accompanied by 30 days of public comment. Changes are VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Dec 13, 2022 Jkt 259001 described below and are included in the supporting documentation.
