You can also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by emailing OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the title of the information collection. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: The 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-ups will consist of two nationally representative surveys drawing from 2024 NSECE respondents: 1. a survey of households (1) with incomes under 300 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) and/or (2) who had used paid care by an individual in 2024 (2024 NSECE Household Follow-up) 2. a survey of individuals who were employed in 2024 in center-based ECE programs working directly with children in classrooms serving children age 5 years and under, not yet in kindergarten (2024 NSECE Workforce Follow-up). Participants will be drawn from respondents to the 2024 NSECE Household and Workforce surveys. The 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-up data collection efforts will provide urgently needed information that will expand the potential of the 2024 NSECE data to describe: (1) households’ search for and use of financial assistance for ECE (including assistance for paid individual care PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76477 arrangements); and (2) employment experiences of individuals who have recently worked in center-based ECE classrooms. The household follow-up in early 2025 will re-interview households participating in the 2024 NSECE who (1) report using paid individual ECE or (2) report incomes below 300 percent of the FPL. The workforce follow-up in late 2025 will re-interview individuals who participated in the 2024 NSECE workforce survey (i.e., served as centerbased classroom-assigned instructional staff between January and November 2024). Both follow-up surveys are designed to collect in-depth information that was not feasible to collect in the 2024 NSECE and which can be uniquely collected through re-interviews of selected 2024 NSECE participants. The household follow-up will include information about households’ awareness of and experience with publicly funded ECE programs, how households selected ECE arrangements for Fall 2024, and who provided paid individual care to the households’ children in 2024. The workforce followup will include information about the experiences of ECE instructional staff over time, where workers who leave ECE employers or the ECE sector go and why they leave, and workers’ experiences in various ECE settings throughout their ECE careers. Accurate data on families with young children and the experiences of ECE workers are essential to assess the current landscape of ECE, and to provide insights to advance ECE policy and initiatives. The household follow-up will be fielded using multi-mode survey methodologies in early 2025, and the workforce followup will be fielded using multi-mode survey methodologies in the last half of 2025. Both follow-ups will enhance the value of the 2024 NSECE by expanding the potential utility of those data to describe household and worker experiences over time and to address additional information needs. Respondents: 1. Households participating in the 2024 NSECE and reported either a. a paid individual ECE arrangement in 2024, or b. income under the 300 percent Federal poverty level in 2024. 2.

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data 
collection activity to be conducted January 2025 through December 2025 
as a follow-up of the 2024 National Survey of Early Care and Education 
(NSECE). The objectives of the 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-ups are 
to build on the design and implementation of the 2024 NSECE to collect 
urgently needed information on the following two topics relevant to 
early care and education (ECE) policy: (1) how households learn about 
and make use of financial assistance in seeking and selecting ECE, with 
additional focus on paid individual care arrangements; and (2) patterns 
of retention and attrition among individuals in the center-based ECE 
workforce.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a 
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days 
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, 
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it 
within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-ups will consist of 
two nationally representative surveys drawing from 2024 NSECE 
respondents:
    1. a survey of households (1) with incomes under 300 percent of the 
federal poverty level (FPL) and/or (2) who had used paid care by an 
individual in 2024 (2024 NSECE Household Follow-up)
    2. a survey of individuals who were employed in 2024 in center-
based ECE programs working directly with children in classrooms serving 
children age 5 years and under, not yet in kindergarten (2024 NSECE 
Workforce Follow-up).
    Participants will be drawn from respondents to the 2024 NSECE 
Household and Workforce surveys.
    The 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-up data collection efforts will 
provide urgently needed information that will expand the potential of 
the 2024 NSECE data to describe: (1) households' search for and use of 
financial assistance for ECE (including assistance for paid individual 
care arrangements); and (2) employment experiences of individuals who 
have recently worked in center-based ECE classrooms.
    The household follow-up in early 2025 will re-interview households 
participating in the 2024 NSECE who (1) report using paid individual 
ECE or (2) report incomes below 300 percent of the FPL. The workforce 
follow-up in late 2025 will re-interview individuals who participated 
in the 2024 NSECE workforce survey (i.e., served as center-based 
classroom-assigned instructional staff between January and November 
2024). Both follow-up surveys are designed to collect in-depth 
information that was not feasible to collect in the 2024 NSECE and 
which can be uniquely collected through re-interviews of selected 2024

about households' awareness of and experience with publicly funded ECE 
programs, how households selected ECE arrangements for Fall 2024, and 
who provided paid individual care to the households' children in 2024. 
The workforce follow-up will include information about the experiences 
of ECE instructional staff over time, where workers who leave ECE 
employers or the ECE sector go and why they leave, and workers' 
experiences in various ECE settings throughout their ECE careers. 
Accurate data on families with young children and the experiences of 
ECE workers are essential to assess the current landscape of ECE, and 
to provide insights to advance ECE policy and initiatives. The 
household follow-up will be fielded using multi-mode survey

the potential utility of those data to describe household and worker 
experiences over time and to address additional information needs.
    Respondents: 1. Households participating in the 2024 NSECE and 
reported either a. a paid individual ECE arrangement in 2024, or b. 
income under the 300 percent Federal poverty level in 2024. 2.
