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. The
Department is soliciting comments on
the proposed information collection
request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department is especially interested
in public comment 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 records.
Title of Collection: Statewide
Longitudinal Data System (SLDS)
Survey 2023–2025.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0933.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 75.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 94.
Abstract: The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), of the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES),
within the U.S. Department of
Education, is requesting clearance to
continue the Statewide Longitudinal
Data System (SLDS) Survey collection,
which is intended to provide insight on
State and U.S. territory SLDS capacity
for automated linking of K–12, teacher,
postsecondary, workforce, career and
technical education (CTE), adult
education, and early childhood data.
Historically, SLDS has collected
information annually from State
Education Agencies (SEAs) and has
helped inform NCES ongoing evaluation
and targeted technical assistance efforts
to enhance the quality of the SLDS
Program’s support to States regarding
systems development, enhancement,
and use. The request to conduct all

activities related to SLDS 2021–2023,
including materials and procedures, was
approved by OMB in October 2021
(OMB#1859–0933 v.10).
This new request is to conduct all
activities related to SLDS 2023–25,
continuing usage of the Qualtrics
information collection tool initiated in
the 2023 collection. The appendices
include updated communications,
webinars, and Qualtrics instrument
screenshots related to the SLDS 2023–25
collection. While minor adjustments
were made to questions and language,
the primary change proposed in this
package is a shift from an annual to a
biennial collection. Nationwide, SLDS
system capacity changes frequently (ex.
Infrastructure enhancements, evolving
P20W agency collaborations, State
legislation impacts, etc.), but analysis
demonstrates that the COVID–19
pandemic stagnated the work to some
extent. The 2019–20 Statistics in Brief
and accompanying data file (anticipated
May 2023 publication release) indicate
very little change in results over the
two-year period, indicating that shifting
to an every-other-year collection would
allow for more timely releases of data,
with no adverse effect on the integrity
of the information.
