Title of Collection: National
Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) 2024 Amendment #2.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0928.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 866,587.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 486,305.
Abstract: The National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP),
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), is a
federally authorized survey of student
achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in
various subject areas, such as
mathematics, reading, writing, science,
U.S. history, civics, geography,
economics, technology, and engineering
literacy (TEL), and the arts. The
National Assessment of Educational
Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L.
107–279 title III, section 303) requires
the assessment to collect data on
specified student groups and
characteristics, including information
organized by race/ethnicity, gender,
socio-economic status, disability, and
limited English proficiency. It requires

fair and accurate presentation of
achievement data and permits the
collection of background, noncognitive,
or descriptive information that is related
to academic achievement and aids in
fair reporting of results. The intent of
the law is to provide representative
sample data on student achievement for
the nation, the states, and
subpopulations of students and to
monitor progress over time. NAEP
consists of two assessment programs:
the NAEP long-term trend (LTT)
assessment and the main NAEP
assessment. The LTT assessments are
given at the national level only and are
administered to students at ages 9, 13,
and 17 in a manner that is very different
from that used for the main NAEP
assessments. LTT reports mathematics
and reading results that present trend
data since the 1970s. In addition to the
operational assessments, NAEP uses two
other kinds of assessment activities:
pilot assessments and special studies.
Pilot assessments test items and
procedures for future administrations of
NAEP, while special studies (including
the National Indian Education Study
(NIES), the Middle School Transcript
Study (MSTS), and the High School
Transcript Study (HSTS)) are
opportunities for NAEP to investigate
particular aspects of the assessment
without impacting the reporting of the
NAEP results.
The initial request for clearance of
NAEP 2024 received OMB approval in
April 2023 (OMB# 1850–0928 v.28).
Amendment #1 to the NAEP 2024
clearance package received OMB
approval in June 2023 (OMB#1850–0928
v.29). Since that package’s submission
for public comment and OMB approval,
changes have occurred to the scope of
the 2024 NAEP administration,
including the addition of: (1) Addition
of Reading Router Pilot for grades 4 and
8, increasing costs, (2) Addition of
School and District Technology
Coordinator roles and SBE survey
completion, increasing burden hours,
(3) Addition of protocols for the health
and safety of field staff, increasing costs,
(4) Reduction in SQ burden time for
students, teachers and schools since
COVID–19 learning recovery items are
no longer adding additional time to the
SQs; rather, other items were dropped to
accommodate these items, reducing
burden hours; and (5) Addition of Field
Trial for grades, 4, 8 and 12, increasing
burden hours and costs. This revision

changes to scope and references to the
