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: Private School 

Universe Survey (PSS) 2019–20 and 

2021–22. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0641. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 32,677. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 6,577. 

Abstract: The Private School Universe 

Survey (PSS) is conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) to collect basic information from 

the universe of private elementary and 

secondary schools in the United States. 

The PSS is designed to gather biennial 

data on the total number of private 

schools, teachers, and students, along 

with a variety of related data, including: 

Religious orientation; grade-levels 

taught and size of school; length of 

school year and of school day; total 

student enrollment by gender (K–12); 

number of high school graduates; 

whether a school is single-sexed or 

coeducational; number of teachers 

employed; program emphasis; and 

existence and type of its kindergarten 

program. The PSS includes all schools 

that are not supported primarily by 

public funds, that provide classroom 

instruction for one or more of grades 

K–12 or comparable ungraded levels, 

and that have one or more teachers. No 

substantive changes have been made to 

the survey or its procedures since its 

last approved 2017–18 administration 

(OMB #1850–0641 v.8). The PSS is also 

used to create a universe list of private 

schools for use as a sampling frame for 

NCES surveys of private schools. This 

request is to conduct the 2019–20 and 

2021–22 PSS data collections, and the 

2021–22 PSS list frame building 

operations.
