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 is especially interested in public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper

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 Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) 2024.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0928.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved information
collection request.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 833,139.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 519,605.
Abstract: The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP),
conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a
federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and
12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing,
science, U.S. history, civics, geography, economics, technology and
engineering literacy (TEL), and the arts. The National Assessment of
Educational Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107-279 title III,
section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on
[[Page 68476]]
specified student groups and characteristics, including information
organized by race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, disability,
and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate
presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of
background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to
academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent
of the law is to provide representative sample data on student
achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students
and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment
programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP
assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only
and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that
is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT
reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since
the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two
other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special
studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future
administrations of NAEP, while special studies (including the National
Indian Education Study (NIES), the Middle School Transcript Study
(MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities
for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without
impacting the reporting of the NAEP results.
This request is to conduct NAEP in 2024, specifically: (1) Main
NAEP operational assessments in 2024 for grade 4 (reading and
mathematics), 8 (reading, mathematics and science), and 12 (reading and
mathematics). In Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the
only subject assessed; (2) Pilot testing for new frameworks in
mathematics (mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico) and reading for grades 4
and 8; (3) Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS); (4) High School
Transcript Study (HSTS); and (5) National Indian Education Study (NIES)
for grades 4 and 8.
Three additional 30-day packages will be submitted in February,
April, and August 2023 in order to update all materials in time for the
data collection in early 2024.
Dated: November 9, 2022.
