Title of Collection: Charter School 

Authorizer Annual Update. 

OMB Control Number: 1855–0023. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 900. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,025. 

Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education (ED) has as one of its 

important policy goals expanding the 

number of high-quality public school 

choice options. Specifically, according 

to Part B section 5201 of the Elementary 

and Secondary Education Act, two of 

the established purposes of the Charter 

School Program office are: Evaluating 

the effects of charter schools, including 

the effects on students, student 

academic achievement, staff and 

parents, and expanding the number of 

high-quality charter schools available to 

students across the nation. 

Charter school authorization is at the 

very crux of any efforts to expand and 

ensure high-quality public school 

choice options through public charter 

schools because charter school 

authorizers are the public entities 

primarily responsible for: Initial charter 

authorizations, on-going monitoring and 

oversight, and charter renewal and 

closure decisions. 

Currently, there is no other 

comprehensive national database of the 

roughly 900 charter school authorizers 

complete with the schools under their 

authority; some of these data elements 

are available from public documents, 

but they are not made available to the 

public consistently across all 

authorizers. There is also no other 

comprehensive, fully-populated tool for 

tracking the activities of and evaluating 

the quality of authorizers nationwide 

based on their authorizing decisions in 

light of schools performance. This data 

collection will be administered to the all 

charter school authorizers.

Title of Collection: 2015 National 

Household Education Survey (NHES 

2015) Full Scale Data Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0768. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection.

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 248,420. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 40,299. 

Abstract: The National Household 

Education Surveys Program (NHES) is 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES). NHES is 

NCESs 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, childrens 

readiness for school, parent perceptions 

of school safety and discipline, beforeand 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 twostage 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. For surveys about 

children, the population of interest is 

defined by age or grade in school, or 

both, depending on the particular 

survey topic and research questions. For 

surveys of adults, the population of 

interest is those aged 16 to 65 who are 

not enrolled in grade 12 or below, 

excluding those on active duty military 

service and those who are
