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

burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use

that written comments received in

Title of Collection: Private School
Universe Survey (PSS) 2023–24 Data
Collection Revision.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0641.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 27,553.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,897.
Abstract: The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the
U.S. Department of Education, conducts
the Private School Universe Survey
(PSS), a national survey of private
elementary and secondary schools. The
PSS is designed to collect biennial data
on the total number of private schools,
teachers, and students; and to create an
NCES universe frame of private schools
that serve as a sampling frame for NCES
surveys. This survey is an ongoing
project to improve NCES universe and
sample data on private schools.
The request to conduct the 2023–24
data collection and the 2025–26 PSS list
frame building operations was approved
in April 2022 (1850–0641 v.14). This
revision addresses changes to
communication materials and
modifications to the questionnaire.
Changes to the communications reflect
a shift towards focusing on the benefits
of participating in the PSS, including a
school’s listing on NCES Private School
Search website and having an active
NCES ID. Modifications to the
questionnaire include the addition of an
item assessing the use of virtual learning
in private schools and modifying item
wording to better align item with item
wording on the National Teacher and
Principal Survey (NTPS), which will be
in the field for a sample of private
schools during the 2023–24 school year
as well.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose: In accordance with the
Government in the Sunshine Act
(Sunshine Act), Public Law 94–409, as
amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S.
Election Assistance Commission (EAC)
will conduct an open meeting to review
significant 2022 Election
Administration and Voting Survey
(EAVS) findings, and how the EAVS can
be utilized by election officials,
academics, and other stakeholders to
improve elections.
Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) will host panels
featuring election administrators, EAC
staff, and election subject matter
experts. They will discuss the findings
of the 2022 EAVS, how voting and
election administration have changed
since the last midterm election in 2018,
and how this information can be used
to prepare for the 2024 presidential
election.
Background: In 2002, Congress
charged the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) with the task of
collecting information on the state of
American elections and making it
widely available to policymakers,
advocates, scholars, journalists, and the
general public. Since 2004, the EAC has
sponsored the biennially administered
Election Administration and Voting
Survey (EAVS), which surveys all 50
U.S. states, the District of Columbia,
American Samoa, Guam, Northern
Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the
U.S. Virgin Islands. It is the most
comprehensive source of state and local
jurisdiction-level data about election
administration in the United States.
Topics covered through EAVS data
collection include voter registration and
list maintenance, voting practices for
overseas citizens and members of the
armed forces serving away from home,
voter participation, election technology,
and other important issues related to
voting and election administration.

These data are vital in helping election
officials, policymakers, and other
election stakeholders identify trends,
anticipate and respond to changing
voter needs, invest resources to improve
election administration and the voter
experience, and better secure U.S.
elections infrastructure.
The 2022 EAVS Comprehensive
Report and previous EAVS reports are
available on the EAC’s studies and
report web page: https://www.eac.gov/
research-and-data/studies-and-reports.
Prior to 2014, this data was reported
in three different reports—the National
Voter Registration Act (NVRA) report,
the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens
Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) report,
and the Election Day Survey. Since
2008, this project has included a
separate survey, the Election
Administration Policy Survey (Policy
Survey), that gathers information about
state election laws, policies, and
practices. The Policy Survey was known
as the Statutory Overview survey prior
to 2018.
The full agenda will be posted in
advance on the EAC website: https://
www.eac.gov.
Status: This meeting will be open to
the public.
