Title of Collection: Early Childhood
Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class
of 2023–24 (ECLS–K:2024) August 2024
Materials Revision Request.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0750.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 157,586.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 84,093.
Abstract: The Early Childhood
Longitudinal Study (ECLS) program,
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) within the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of
the U.S. Department of Education (ED),
draws together information from
multiple sources to provide rich,
descriptive data on child development,
early learning, and school progress. The
ECLS program studies deliver national
data on children’s status at birth and at
various points thereafter; children’s
transitions to nonparental care, early
care and education programs, and
school; and children’s experiences and
growth through the elementary grades.
The Early Childhood Longitudinal
Study, Kindergarten Class of 2023–24
(ECLS–K:2024) is the fourth cohort in
the series of early childhood
longitudinal studies. The study will
advance research in child development
and early learning by providing a
detailed and comprehensive source of
current information on children’s early
learning and development, transitions

into kindergarten and beyond, and
progress through school. The ECLS–
K:2024 will provide data about the
population of children in kindergarten
during the 2023–24 school year.
The request to conduct the first three
national data collection rounds for the
ECLS–K:2024 was approved in April
2023 (OMB# 1850–0750 v26). Revisions
to procedures and materials for the first
two rounds of data collection were
submitted and approved in three
subsequent revisions requests (OMB#
1850–0750 v27 was approved in July
2023; OMB# 1850–0750 v29 was
approved in February 2024; and
OMB#1850–0750 v30 was approved in
July 2024). The ECLS–K:2024 fall
kindergarten data collection was
conducted August 2023–January 2024
and the spring kindergarten round was
conducted March–July 2024. These two
kindergarten data collections will be
followed by a spring (March–July 2025)
first-grade round. Each of these rounds
of data collection involves advance
school contacts, for example to conduct
student sampling activities, collect
teacher and school information, and
locate families whose children may
have moved schools. Future OMB
packages are planned for the third-grade
pilot test (March–July 2026), as well as
for the future currently-planned round,
that is the national spring (March–July
2027) third-grade round.
This current revision request
(accompanied by 30 days of public
comment) is to update study respondent
materials, surveys, and website designs
that will be used in the spring 2025
first-grade data collection activities.
Many of the revisions in this package
were based on analyses of the fall 2022
field test data (OMB# 1850–0750 v25)
and experiences in the field from the
national kindergarten rounds of
collection, as well as additional
discussions with design experts, all of
which informed changes to the design of
the surveys and assessments. Changes
have been made to respondent materials
to remove references to the fifth-grade
round, as this collection is no longer
planned. Revisions to the study
instruments, the respondent materials,
and websites are limited to changes to
the spring first-grade materials. The
current revision request contains
updates to the school staff and parent
survey instruments made as the
specifications were programmed.
This revision request also contains the
specifications for the Spanish and
Mandarin translations of some parent
materials. Finally, this request revises
the race/ethnicity items in the web and
hard-copy first-grade survey
instruments in line with the new federal
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
statistical standard released on 3/28/24
(Statistical Policy Directive No. 15:
Standards for Maintaining, Collecting,
and Presenting Federal Data on Race
and Ethnicity (SPD 15)). The requested
changes in this revision request reflect
a slight increase in the cost to the
federal government, but do not change
the estimated respondent burden for
conducting this study.

records.
As required by the Privacy
Act of 1974 and the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Circulars A–108 and A–130, the
Department of Energy (DOE or the
Department) is publishing notice of a
modification to an existing Privacy Act
System of Records. DOE proposes to
amend System of Records DOE–71, The
Radiation Accident Registry. This
System of Records Notice (SORN) is
being modified to align with new
formatting requirements, published by
the OMB, and to ensure appropriate
Privacy Act coverage of business
processes and Privacy Act information.
While there are no substantive changes
to the ‘‘Categories of Individuals’’ or
‘‘Categories of Records’’ sections
covered by this SORN, substantive
changes have been made to the ‘‘System
Locations,’’ ‘‘Routine Uses,’’ and
‘‘Administrative, Technical and
Physical Safeguards’’ sections to
provide greater transparency. Changes
to ‘‘Routine Uses’’ include new
provisions related to responding to
breaches of information held under a
Privacy Act SORN as required by OMB’s
Memorandum M–17–12, ‘‘Preparing for
and Responding to a Breach of
Personally Identifiable Information’’
(January 3, 2017). Language throughout
the SORN has been updated to align
with applicable Federal privacy laws,
policies, procedures, and best practices.
DATES: This modified SORN will
become applicable following the end of
the public comment period on October

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 9, 2009, DOE published a
Compilation of its Privacy Act Systems
of Records, which included System of
Records DOE–71, The Radiation
Accident Registry. In the ‘‘Routine
Uses’’ section, this modified notice
deletes a previous routine use
concerning efforts responding to a
suspected or confirmed loss of
confidentiality of information as it
appears in DOE’s compilation of its
Privacy Act Systems of Records (January
9, 2009) and replaces it with one to
assist DOE with responding to a
suspected or confirmed breach of its
records of Personally Identifiable
Information (PII), modeled with
language from OMB’s Memorandum M–
17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding
to a Breach of Personally Identifiable
Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Further,
this notice adds one new routine use to
ensure that DOE may assist another
agency or entity in responding to the
other agency’s or entity’s confirmed or
suspected breach of PII, as appropriate,
as aligned with OMB’s Memorandum
M–17–12. Updates to the routine uses
includes aligning them with the 2004
and 2015 amendments to The Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA)
of 2000 by Subtitle E of Division C of
the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense

(Pub. L. 108–375) and Carl Levin and

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015 (Pub. L. 113–291). These
changes include removing two
categories of obsolete users and
modifying a category to include
advisory boards. The routine use

deleted as its governing Memorandum

The request to conduct the first three national data collection
rounds for the ECLS-K:2024 was approved in April 2023 (OMB# 1850-0750
v26). Revisions to procedures and materials for the first two rounds of
data collection were submitted and approved in three subsequent
revisions requests (OMB# 1850-0750 v27 was approved in July 2023; OMB#
1850-0750 v29 was approved in February 2024; and OMB#1850-0750 v30 was
approved in July 2024). The ECLS-K:2024 fall kindergarten data
collection was conducted August 2023-January 2024 and the spring
kindergarten round was conducted March-July 2024. These two
kindergarten data collections will be followed by a spring (March-July

involves advance school contacts, for example to conduct student

this request revises the race/ethnicity items in the web and hard-copy
