SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 14, 2008, we published in the
Federal Register final regulations for 34
CFR part 462, Measuring Educational
Gain in the National Reporting System
for Adult Education (73 FR 2305,
January 14, 2008, as amended at 81 FR
55552, August 19, 2016) (NRS
regulations). The NRS regulations
established the process the Secretary
uses to determine the suitability of tests
for use in the NRS by States and local
eligible providers. We annually publish
in the Federal Register, and post on the
internet at www.nrsweb.org, a list of the
names of tests and the educational
functioning levels the tests are suitable
to measure in the NRS as required by
§ 462.12(c)(2).
On August 7, 2020, the Secretary
published in the Federal Register (85
FR 47952) an annual notice
consolidating information from previous
notices that announced tests determined
to be suitable for use in the NRS, in
accordance with § 462.13 (August 2020
annual notice). Also, in the August 2020
annual notice, the Secretary announced
that English as a Second Language (ESL)
tests and test forms approved for an
extended period through February 2,
2021, are approved for an additional
extended period through February 2,
2023, and that an Adult Basic Education
(ABE) test and test forms previously
approved for a three-year period
through March 7, 2021, are approved for
an extended period through March 7,
2023.
On December 6, 2021, the Secretary
published in the Federal Register (86
FR 69021), an annual notice with the
same list of approved tests and test
forms as was published in the August
2020 annual notice.
On September 23, 2022, the Secretary
published in the Federal Register (87
FR 58078) an annual notice announcing
that ESL tests and test forms previously
approved for an extended period
through February 2, 2023, were
approved for an additional extended
period through February 2, 2024, and
that an ABE test and test forms
previously approved for an extended
period through March 7, 2023, were

approved for an additional extended
period through March 7, 2024.
On July 13, 2023, the Secretary
published in the Federal Register (88
FR 44784) an annual notice announcing
new tests that were determined to be
suitable for use in the NRS, in
accordance with § 462.13 (July 2023
annual notice). Three tests measured the
NRS educational functioning levels for
ABE at the ABE levels specified in the
July 2023 annual notice, and four tests
measured the new NRS educational
functioning levels for ESL at the ESL
levels specified in the July 2023 annual
notice. With the Secretary’s approval of
the new ESL tests in the July 2023
annual notice, the new educational
functioning levels for ESL described in
Appendix A of Measures and Methods
for the National Reporting System for
Adult Education (OMB Control Number:
1830–0027) were implemented. In the
July 2023 annual notice, the Secretary
announced that ESL tests with NRS
approvals expiring on February 2, 2024,
may be used in the NRS during a sunset
period ending on June 30, 2024.
On August 24, 2023, the Secretary
published a notice in the Federal
Register (88 FR 57949) correcting the
name of one test listed in the July 2023
annual notice. All other information in
the July 2023 annual notice remained
the same.
On March 18, 2024, the Secretary
published in the Federal Register (89
FR 19307) a notice announcing that the
sunset period for ESL tests scheduled to
sunset on June 30, 2024, is extended
through June 30, 2025. This extension of
the sunset period will allow States
sufficient time for the operational
activities required for the transition to
the new ESL assessments identified in
the July 2023 annual notice.
The ESL educational functioning level
descriptors to which the ESL tests with
expiring NRS approvals are aligned and
that were scheduled to be retired on
June 30, 2024, are extended through
June 30, 2025. Until that time, both the
current ESL educational functioning
level descriptors and the new ESL
educational functioning level
descriptors will be in effect. States must
use an ESL assessment that is aligned to
the appropriate ESL educational
functioning level descriptors.
In this notice, the Secretary
announces two new tests and test forms
that have been determined to be suitable
for use in the NRS, in accordance with
§ 462.13. The tests measure the NRS
educational functioning levels at all
ABE and ESL levels, as described in
Appendix A of Measures and Methods
for the National Reporting System for
Adult Education (OMB Control Number
