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

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: National Household Education Survey 2023
(NHES:2023) Full-scale Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0768.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved
information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 137,150.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 18,295.
Abstract: The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES)
collects data directly from households on early childhood care and
education,
[[Page 25625]]
children's readiness for school, parents' perceptions of school safety
and discipline, before- and after-school activities of school-age
children, participation in adult and career education, parents'
involvement in their children's education, school choice,
homeschooling, and civic involvement. NHES surveys were conducted
approximately every other year from 1991 through 2007 using random
digit dial (RDD) sampling and telephone data collection from landline
telephones only. Due to declining response rates in all RDD surveys,
NCES redesigned NHES to collect data through self-administered mailed
questionnaires for the 2012 administration, which included the Early
Childhood Program Participation (ECPP), the Parent and Family
Involvement in Education-Enrolled (PFI-E), and the Parent and Family
Involvement in Education-Homeschooled (PFI-H) topical surveys.
NHES:2016 continued the mail-based collection methodology, while also
experimenting with the use of web survey collection. NHES:2019
continued the mail-based collection methodology and used the same
methodology developed in the NHES:2016 web experiment for the majority
of the sampled addresses. In 2019, 57 percent of cases responded by
web, 36 by paper, and 7 percent by inbound phone. Also in 2019, PFI
surveys for parents of enrolled and homeschooled students were merged
into one survey instrument. NHES:2023 will again field the ECPP and the
combined PFI survey used in the NHES:2019. NHES:2023 will use the same
methodology developed in the NHES:2019 for the majority of sampled
addresses, but will incorporate lessons learned from NHES:2019's
methodological experiments. Furthermore, given the potential change in
the education landscape since COVID-19, particularly for online
coursework, NCES plans to conduct a debriefing project with respondents
during the NHES:2023 administration. The goal of the study is to gain
greater insight about respondents who indicate that their child was
enrolled in online courses. The debriefing interviews are designed to
understand the true schooling experiences of these children and how
well the survey functioned in capturing the context of these children's
virtual education experiences. The debriefing interviews will provide
information that will assist NCES in understanding the NHES:2023 data
on virtual education and in crafting items for future NHES
administrations that will more accurately capture the details of
virtual education.
