Title of Collection: National Teacher and Principal Survey of 2023–2024 (NTPS 2023–24) Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 1850–0598. Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 98,148. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 45,269. Abstract: The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted every two or three years by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a system of related questionnaires that provides descriptive data on the context of elementary and secondary education. Redesigned from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with a focus on flexibility, timeliness, and integration with other ED data, the NTPS system allows for school, principal, and teacher characteristics to be analyzed in relation to one another. NTPS is an in-depth, nationally representative survey of first through twelfth grade public and private school teachers, principals, and schools. Kindergarten teachers in schools with at least a first grade are also surveyed. NTPS utilizes core content and a series of rotating modules to allow timely collection of important education trends as well as trend analysis. Topics covered include characteristics of teachers, principals, schools, teacher training opportunities, retention, retirement, hiring, and shortages. NTPS also functions as the base-year for the longitudinal studies Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS). A previous request (OMB #1850–0598 v.41) to conduct the NTPS 2023–24 preliminary activities, namely special district recruitment, recruitment of endorsers, and Screener Survey for the NTPS and the NTPS follow-up surveys, was approved in December 2022. This request for public comment and OMB review is for the NTPS 2023–24 Main Study final procedures and materials, including all contact materials and survey questionnaires. Public comment and OMB approval for the follow-up surveys to NTPS 2023–24—the Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS)—will be requested in an additional package in winter 2023–24.

Title of Collection: Application Forms and Instructions for the Fulbright-Hays Training Grants: Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (CFDA Number 84.022A) and Faculty Research Abroad (CFDA Number 84.019A). OMB Control Number: 1840–0005. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Private sector. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 480. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 11,500. Abstract: The purpose of section 102(b)(6) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright-Hays Act) is to promote and develop modern foreign language training and area studies throughout the educational structure of the United States. To help accomplish this objective, fellowships are awarded through US institutions of higher education to American faculty and dissertation students enabling them to conduct overseas research and enhance their foreign language proficiency. Under the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) and the Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) programs, individual scholars apply through eligible institutions for an institutional grant to support the research fellowship. These institutions administer the program in cooperation with the US Department of Education (US/ED) as provided under the authority of sections 102(b)(6) and 104(e)(1) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, 34 CFR part 662, and the Policy Statements of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB). This information collection request is a revision based on a program change due to agency discretion. It is adding to the currently approved respondents and burden hours the number of respondents and burden hours for the FRA program, which has been inactive since 2010. DDRA and FRA are two closely related programs funded under the Fulbright-Hays Act and their PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 applications are cleared under the same OMB number: 1840–0005. In FY 2011 funding for these programs was significantly reduced and we could no longer afford to fund the FRA program, so we retired it. It has only been recently that we have been able to reactivate the program and run competitions again. The application for FRA is still cleared under OMB number 1840–0005 with the DDRA application, and we are revising the information collection to include the FRA program. This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894–0001). Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only public comment notice published for this information collection. Dated: January 17, 2023.
