Title of Collection: National
Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) 2025 Long-Term Trend (LTT).
OMB Control Number: 1850–0928.
Type of Review: A revision of a

Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual

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 packages
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 updates Part A and
Part B detailing the changes to scope
and references to the communication
materials and the amendment schedule,
Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C,
Appendix D (added communication
materials), Appendix G, Appendix I,
and Appendices J1, J2, J3, and J–S to
include the operational survey
questionnaires (SQs), COVID–19
Learning Recovery SQs, NIES SQs, and
Pilot SQs.
