Title of Collection: National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) 2014–2016 System Clearance.

OMB Control Number: 1850–0790. Type of Review: A new generic information collection request under the approved generic information collection systems clearance.

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 33,927.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 13,963.

Abstract: The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 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, and the arts. In the current legislation that reauthorized NAEP (20 U.S.C. 9622), Congress again mandated the collection of national education survey data through a national assessment program. This request is an information collection that falls under the approved systems clearance, 1850– 0790. The 2014 Wave 1 submittal contains the following:

• the grades 4, 8, and 12 core (demographic) student questions,

• the grade 8 civics, geography, and U.S. history subject-specific student questions,

• the grades 4, 8, and 12 pilot science subject-specific student questions,

• the grades 4 and 8 teacher questionnaires, and

• the grades 4, 8, and 12 school questionnaires.

The 2014 submittal is divided into two waves to meet scheduling and question development requirements. The first wave contains the core, social studies (civics, geography, U.S. history), and science (paper-and-pencil) descriptions, burden, and questionnaires. Wave 2 will contain technology and engineering literacy (TEL) and science ICT (interactive computer tasks) descriptions, burden, and materials, as well as information regarding school coordinator activities, including the collection of information on students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL). The purpose of NAEP is to collect and report assessment data on student achievement in the subject areas assessed for use in monitoring educational progress. In addition to reporting overall results of student performance and achievement, NAEP also reports student performance results for various subgroups of students and on various educational factors.

Title of Collection: Magnet Schools Assistance Program Application for Grants (1894–0001).

OMB Control Number: 1855–0011. Type of Review: Extension without change of an existing collection of information.

Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 150.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,000.

Abstract: The Magnet Schools Assistance program provides grants to eligible local educational agencies to establish and operate magnet schools that are operated under a court-ordered or federally approved voluntary desegregation plan. These grants assist in the desegregation of public schools by supporting the elimination, reduction, and prevention of minority group isolation in elementary and secondary schools with substantial numbers of minority group students. In order to meet the statutory purposes of the program under Title V of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, projects also must support the development and implementation of magnet schools that assist in the achievement of systemic reforms and provide all students with the opportunity to meet challenging academic content and student academic achievement standards. Projects support the development and design of innovative education methods and practices that promote diversity and increase choices in public education programs. The program supports capacity development the ability of a school to help all its students meet more challenging standards through professional development and other activities that will enable the continued operation of the magnet schools at a high performance level after funding ends. Finally, the program supports the implementation of courses of instruction in magnet schools that strengthen students knowledge of academic subjects and their grasp of tangible and marketable vocational skills.
