Title of Collection: National 

Household Education Survey 2016 

(NHES:2016) Full-scale Data Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0768. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 191,803. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 32,029. 

Abstract: The National Household 

Education Surveys Program (NHES) is 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics’ (NCES). NHES is 

NCES’s principal mechanism for 

addressing education topics appropriate 

for households rather than 

establishments. Such topics cover a 

wide range of issues, including early 

childhood care and education, 

children’s readiness for school, parent 

perceptions of school safety and 

discipline, before- and after-school 

activities of school-age children, 

participation in adult education and 

training, parent involvement in 

education, school choice, 

homeschooling, and civic involvement. 

The NHES consists of a series of rotating 

surveys using a two-stage design in 

which a household screener collects 

household membership and key 

characteristics for sampling and then 

appropriate topical survey(s) are mailed 

to sample members. Data from the 

NHES are used to provide national 

cross-sectional estimates on populations 

of special interest to education 

researchers and policymakers. NHES 

surveys were conducted approximately 

every other year from 1991 through 

2007 using random digit dial (RDD) 

methodology; beginning in 2012 NHES 

began collecting data by mail to improve 

response rates. This submission seeks 

clearance to conduct NHES:2016, which 

will repeat the child topical surveys 

conducted in 2012: The Early 

Childhood Program Participation 

(ECPP), the Parent and Family 

Involvement in Education-Enrolled 

(PFI–E), and the Parent and Family 

Involvement in EducationHomeschooled (PFI–H), and will 

include the first adult topical survey in 

NHES since 2005, the Adult Training 

and Education Survey (ATES). The 

adult survey was developed in 

conjunction with the Interagency 

Working Group on Expanded Measures 

of Enrollment and Attainment 

(GEMEnA) and was pilot tested in the 

2014 NHES Feasibility Study.
