Number of Respondents: 3,513. Annual Responses: 454,184. Annual Burden Hours: 47,659. Reporting Frequency: On Occasion. Needs and Uses: DoD has consolidated the information collection requirements for reporting Governmentfurnished property into a single clause at DFARS 252.245–70XX, Management and Reporting of Government Property. The clause implements an electronic process for the collection of required information for effective management and oversight of Government property. The consolidated clause does not impose any new information collection requirements; rather, it consolidates existing requirements in one location. As a result of the consolidation of Government-furnished property reporting requirements under DFARS 252.245–70XX, two associated OMB Control Numbers will be discontinued, as the reporting requirements are now included in this revision for OMB Control Number 0704–0246. The OMB Control Numbers to be discontinued are 0704–0398, DFARS Part 211, Describing Agency Needs and related clause at 252.211; and 0704–0557, DFARS Part 245, Use of the Government Property Clause for Repair of Governmentfurnished Property (GFP). The revised information collection includes the following: • DFARS clause 252.245–70XX, paragraph (b)(1), streamlines reporting of GFP requirements under the GFP module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) eBusiness platform. The paper form DD Form 1348–1A, Issue Release/Receipt Document, used when authorized by the plant clearance officer and outside the continental United States (OCONUS) for turn-ins to the Defense Logistics Agency disposal activities, is no longer necessary; the electronic equivalent data requirements are generated through the GFP Module of the PIEE. • DFARS clause 252.245–70XX, paragraph (k), provides procedures for disposal of scrap. The DD Form 1639, Scrap Warranty, is completed by individuals or firms that purchase Government property for its material content from a Government contractor. The DD Form 1639, addressed in 252.245–70XX, paragraph (k)(2), is used for the sole purpose of having the purchasers warrant that the property they have purchased will be used only as scrap. • DFARS 252.245–70XX, paragraph (l), provides procedures for sale of surplus contractor inventory. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Dec 04, 2023 Jkt 262001 • DFARS clause 252.245–7003, Contractor Property Management System Administration. This clause addresses the requirement for certain contractors to respond in writing to an initial or final determination from the administrative contracting officer that identifies deficiencies in the contractor’s property management system. This clause is not part of the 252.245–70XX consolidation; however it continues to be covered under the OMB Control Number for this information collection. DoD uses this information for management and oversight of Government-furnished property. DFARS clause 252.245–70XX strengthens the accountability and end-to-end traceability of Government property within DoD. DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela Duncan.

OMB Control Number: 1850–0969. Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,339. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,551. Abstract: The School Pulse Panel (SPP) is a data collection originally designed to collect repeated voluntary responses from a nationally representative sample of public schools to better understand how schools, students, and educators are responding to the ongoing stressors of the coronavirus pandemic. The School Pulse Panel is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the United States Department of Education. Due to the immediate need to collect information from schools during the pandemic to satisfy the requirement of Executive Order 14000, an emergency clearance was issued to develop and field the first several monthly collections of the SPP in 2021 and a full PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 review of the SPP data collection was performed under the traditional clearance review process in 2022 (OMB# 1850–0969). SPP’s innovative design and timely dissemination of findings have been used and cited frequently among Department of Education senior leadership, the White House Domestic Policy Counsel, the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Congressional deliberations, and the media. The ongoing interest by stakeholders has resulted in dedicated funding to continue the SPP as an ongoing, quick-turnaround data collection vehicle. For the 2024–25 school year, the survey may ask school staff about a wide range of topics, including but not limited to instructional mode offered; enrollment counts of subgroups of students for various subject interests; strategies to address learning recovery; safe and healthy school mitigation strategies; mental health services; use of technology; information on staffing, nutrition services, absenteeism, usage of federal funds, facilities, and overall principal experiences. It is planned that content will be rotated in and out monthly. This package includes preliminary activities, including a generic special district application and communication materials for district and school recruitment, that will be conducted to help with recruitment efforts for the 2024–25 sample. Roughly 8,000 public elementary, middle, high, and combined-grade schools will be randomly selected to participate in a panel. The goal will be national representation from 1,000 responding schools in order to report out national estimates. School staff will be asked to provide requested data monthly during the 2024–25 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 from month to month. Given the high demand for data collection during this time, the content of the survey will change monthly. This request is to conduct the SPP 2024–25 preliminary activities, including contacting and obtaining research approvals from public school districts with an established research approval process (‘‘special contact districts’’), where applicable, notifying sampled schools of their selection for the survey and inviting them to complete short Screener Surveys to establish a point of contact at their school. Additional materials may be added to this package after the 60-day public comment period is complete, in E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM 05DEN1
