SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
Title of Collection: EDFacts Data Collection School Years 2022-23,
2023-24, and 2024-25 (With 2021-22 Continuation).
OMB Control Number: 1850-0925.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 61.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 216,880.
Abstract: EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED)
initiative, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES), to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-
quality, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K-12) performance data.
By centralizing data provided by state education agencies about state
level data, local education agencies, and schools, NCES uses the
EDFacts data to report on students, schools, staff, services, and
education outcomes at the state, district, and school levels. The
centralized approach provides ED users with the ability to efficiently
analyze and report on submitted data and has reduced the reporting
burden for state and local data producers through the use of
streamlined data collection, analysis, and reporting tools. EDFacts
collects information on behalf of ED grant and program offices for
approximately 170 data groups for all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto
Rico, and seven outlying areas and freely associated states (American
Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands,
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, and
the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Department of Defense Education Activity
(DoDEA), and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). This request is to
collect EDFacts data for the 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25 school
years. This collection package will be available for public comment
during two open periods, a 60 day and a 30 day, after which revisions
will be made accordingly. As part of the public comment period review,
ED requests that SEAs and other stakeholders respond to the directed
questions found in Attachment D and D-1. Due to overlap in the timing
of data collection activities between consecutive years of the EDFacts
collection, we are carrying over in this submission the approved SY
2021-22 data collection, which is scheduled to end in February 2023.
