Some new content will be rotated in and
out monthly.
As in previous waves, for SPP 2023–
24 roughly 5,000 (4,000 in an initial
sample and 1,000 in a reserve sample)
public elementary, middle, high, and
combined-grade schools will be
randomly selected to participate in a
panel. It is expected these schools will
come from roughly 3,000 districts with
a reserve sample of 300 districts to
replace district refusals. The goal is
national representation from 1,000
responding schools and districts to
report national estimates. School and
district staff will be asked to provide
requested data as frequently as monthly
during the 23–24 school year. This
approach provides the ability to collect
detailed information on various topics
while also assessing changes over time
for items that are repeated. Given the
high demand for data collection, the
content of the survey will change
monthly.
This request is to conduct the SPP
2023–24 main study data collection
activities, including instruments for the
first quarter of monthly collections, for
60-day and 30-day public comment.
Some documents will be revised for the
30-day public comment period.
Subsequent quarterly content
submissions will be submitted for 30day public comment periods.
Dated: April 3, 2023.

fourth generating unit (Unit 4) to the
project that will utilize flows from the
bypass system. The new Unit 4 would
utilize flows up to 375 cfs but would not
increase the existing 8,000 cfs maximum
hydraulic capacity and would increase
the generating capacity of the project by
3.8%. Unit 4 would be constructed in a
previously disturbed area at the toe of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Pine
Flat Dam. The project is located on the
Kings River in Fresno County,
California. The project is located at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Pine Flat
Dam.
The EA contains Commission staff’s
analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the proposed amendment to
the licensee, and concludes that the
proposed amendment, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
