BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Submission of Data by State 

Educational Agencies; Submission 

Dates for State Revenue and 

Expenditure Reports for Fiscal Year 

2023, Revisions to Those Reports, and 

Revisions to Prior Fiscal Year Reports 

AGENCY: National Center for Education 

Statistics, Institute of Education 

Sciences, U.S. Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces 

dates for State educational agencies 

(SEAs) to submit expenditure and 

revenue data and average daily 

attendance statistics on ED Form 2447 

(the National Public Education 

Financial Survey (NPEFS)) for fiscal 

year (FY) 2023, revisions to those 

reports, and revisions to reports for 

previous fiscal years. The Secretary sets 

these dates to ensure that data are 

available to serve as the basis for timely 

distribution of Federal funds. The U.S. 

Census Bureau is the data collection 

agent for this request of the U.S. 

Department of Education’s (Department) 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES). The data will be published by 

NCES and will be used by the Secretary 

in the calculation of allocations for FY 

2025 appropriated funds. 

DATES: SEAs can begin submitting data 

for FY 2023 and revisions to previously 

submitted data for FY 2022 on 

Wednesday, January 31, 2024. SEAs are 

urged to submit accurate and complete 

data by Friday, March 29, 2024, to 

facilitate timely processing. The 

deadline for the final submission of all 

data, including any revisions to 

previously submitted data for FY 2022 

and FY 2023, is Thursday, August 15, 

2024. Any resubmissions of FY 2022 or 

FY 2023 data by SEAs in response to 

requests for clarification, reconciliation, 

or other inquiries by NCES or the 

Census Bureau must be completed as 

soon as possible, but no later than 

Tuesday, September 3, 2024. All 

outstanding data issues must be 

reconciled or resolved by the SEAs, 

NCES, and the Census Bureau as soon 

as possible, but no later than September 

3, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: SEAs are encouraged to 

submit data online using the interactive 

survey form on the NPEFS data 

collection website at: http://

surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs. The 

NPEFS interactive survey includes a 

digital confirmation page where a 

personal identification number (PIN) 

may be entered. A successful entry of 

the PIN serves as a signature by the 

authorizing official. Alternatively, a 

certification form (ED Form 2447) also 

may be printed from the website, signed 

by the authorizing official, and mailed 

to the Economic Reimbursable Surveys 

Division of the Census Bureau at the 

address provided below, within five 

business days after submission of the 

NPEFS web interactive form. 

SEAs may mail ED Form 2447 to: U.S. 

Census Bureau, ATTENTION: Economic 

Reimbursable Surveys Division, 4600 

Silver Hill Road, Suitland, MD 20746. 

If an SEA’s submission is received by 

the Census Bureau after August 15, 

2024, the SEA must show one of the 

following as proof that the submission 

was mailed on or before that date: 

1. A legibly dated U.S. Postal Service 

postmark. 

2. A legible mail receipt with the date 

of mailing stamped by the U.S. Postal 

Service. 

3. A dated shipping label, invoice, or 

receipt from a commercial carrier. 

4. Any other proof of mailing 

acceptable to the Secretary.

If the SEA mails ED Form 2447 

through the U.S. Postal Service, the 

Secretary does not accept either of the 

following as proof of mailing: 

1. A private metered postmark. 

2. A mail receipt that is not dated by 

the U.S. Postal Service. 

Note: The U.S. Postal Service does not 

uniformly provide a dated postmark. 

Before relying on this method, an SEA 

should check with its local post office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 153(a)(1)(I) of the Education 

Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C. 

9543(a)(1)(I), which authorizes NCES to 

gather data on the financing and 

management of education, NCES 

collects data annually from SEAs 

through ED Form 2447. The report from 

SEAs includes attendance, revenue, and 

expenditure data from which NCES 

determines a State’s ‘‘average per-pupil 

expenditure’’ (SPPE) for elementary and 

secondary education, as defined in 

section 8101(2) of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7801(2)). 

In addition to using the SPPE data as 

general information on the financing of 

elementary and secondary education, 

the Secretary uses these data directly in 

calculating allocations for certain 

formula grant programs, including, but 

not limited to, title I, part A, of the 

ESEA; Impact Aid; and Indian 

Education programs. Other programs, 

such as the Education for Homeless 

Children and Youth program under title 

VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless 

Assistance Act, and the Student Support 

and Academic Enrichment Grants under 

title IV, part A of the ESEA, make use 

of SPPE data indirectly because their 

formulas are based, in whole or in part, 

on State title I, part A, allocations. 

In January 2024, the Census Bureau, 

acting as the data collection agent for 

NCES, will email ED Form 2447 to 

SEAs, with instructions, and will 

request that SEAs commence submitting 

FY 2023 data to the Census Bureau on 

Wednesday, January 31, 2024. SEAs are 

urged to submit accurate and complete 

data by Friday, March 29, 2024, to 

facilitate timely processing. 

Submissions by SEAs to the Census 

Bureau will be analyzed for accuracy 

and returned to each SEA for 

verification. SEAs must submit all data, 

including any revisions to FY 2022 and 

FY 2023 data, to the Census Bureau no 

later than Thursday, August 15, 2024. 

Any resubmissions of FY 2022 or FY 

2023 data by SEAs in response to 

requests for clarification or 

reconciliation or other inquiries by 

NCES or the Census Bureau must be 

completed by Tuesday, September 3, 

2024. Between August 15, 2024, and 

September 3, 2024, SEAs may also, on 

their own initiative, resubmit data to 

resolve issues not addressed in their 

NPEFS data submitted by August 15, 

2024. All outstanding data issues must 

be reconciled or resolved by the SEAs, 

NCES, and the Census Bureau as soon 

as possible, but no later than September 

3, 2024. 

In order to facilitate timely 

submission of data, the Census Bureau 

will send reminder notices to SEAs in 

June and July of 2024. 

Having accurate, consistent, and 

timely information is critical to an 

efficient and fair allocation process and 

to the NCES statistical process. The 

Department establishes Thursday, 

August 15, 2024, as the date by which 

SEAs must submit data using either the 

interactive survey form on the NPEFS 

data collection website at http://

surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs or ED 

Form 2447. This date is established to 

ensure that the best, most accurate data 

will be available to support timely 

distribution of Federal education funds. 

Any resubmissions of FY 2022 or FY 

2023 data by SEAs in response to 

requests for clarification or 

reconciliation or other inquiries by 

NCES or the Census Bureau must be 

completed through the interactive 

survey form on the NPEFS data 

collection website or ED Form 2447 by 

Tuesday, September 3, 2024. If an SEA 

submits revised data after the September 

3, 2024, deadline that result in a lower 

SPPE figure, the SEA’s allocations may 

be adjusted downward, or the 

Department may direct the SEA to 

return funds. 

Note: The following are important 

dates in the data collection process for 

FY 2023 data and revisions to reports 

for previous fiscal years: 

Date Activity 

January 31, 2024 ............................ SEAs can begin to submit accurate and complete data for FY 2023 and revisions to previously submitted 

data for FY 2022.

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: EIA invites public comment 

on the proposed three-year extension, 

with changes, to the Uranium Data 

Program (UDP) as required under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

UDP consists of three surveys: Form 

EIA–851A Domestic Uranium 

Production Report (Annual), which 

collects annual data from the U.S. 

uranium industry on uranium milling 

and processing, uranium feed sources, 

uranium mining, employment, drilling, 

expenditures, and uranium reserves; 

Form EIA–851Q Domestic Uranium 

Production Report (Quarterly), which 

collects monthly data that is reported on 

a quarterly basis, on uranium 

production on a quarterly basis; and 

Form EIA–858 Uranium Marketing 

Annual Survey, which collects annual 

data from the U.S. uranium market on 

uranium contracts and deliveries, 

inventories, enrichment services 

purchased, uranium in fuel assemblies, 

feed deliveries to enrichers, and unfilled 

market requirements for the current year 

and the following ten years. 

DATES: EIA must receive all comments 

on this proposed information collection 

no later than January 2, 2024. If you 

anticipate any difficulties in submitting 

your comments by the deadline, contact 

the person listed in ADDRESSES section 

of this notice as soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Tim 

Shear by email to Uranium2024@

eia.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim 

Shear, U.S. Energy Information 

Administration, telephone (202) 586– 

0403, email Tim.Shear@eia.gov. The 

forms and instructions are available at 

https://www.eia.gov/survey. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1905–0160; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Uranium Data Program; 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with change; 

(4) Purpose: Uranium Data Program 

(UDP) collects data on domestic 

uranium supply and demand activities, 

including production, exploration and 

development, trade, purchases and sales 

available to the U.S. The users of these 

data include Congress, Executive 

Branch agencies, the nuclear and 

uranium industry, electric power 

industry, and the public. Form EIA– 

851A data is published in EIA’s 

Domestic Uranium Production Report— 

Annual, at http://www.eia.gov/uranium/ 

production/annual/. Form EIA–851Q 

data is published in EIA’s Domestic 

Uranium Production Report—Quarterly 

at http://www.eia.gov/uranium/ 

production/quarterly/. Form EIA–858 

data is published in EIA’s Uranium 

Marketing Annual Report at http://

www.eia.gov/uranium/marketing/ and 

Domestic Uranium Production Report— 

Annual at http://www.eia.gov/uranium/ 

production/annual/. 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection 

There is a 6 hour increase in the total 

estimated burden across all three 

surveys. Due to the continued downturn 

in the uranium landholding/ 

exploration/production sectors, EIA– 

851A had four fewer respondents which 

reduced the burden hours by 20. The 

addition of one trader/broker on the 

EIA–858 survey will result in 26 

additional burden hours. The larger 

burden estimate of the EIA–858 survey 

(26 burden hours) compared to the EIA– 

851A survey (5 burden hours) results in 

26 additional EIA–858 hours against a 

reduction of 20 hours on the EIA–851A 

survey (4 fewer respondents by 5 hours 

per response) for a total net burden gain 

of six hours across all three surveys. The 

number of respondents for the Form 

EIA–851A has decreased from 30 to 26. 

The number of respondents for the Form 

EIA–851Q has remained at 11. The 

number of respondents for the Form 

EIA–858 has increased from 61 to 62. 

Total annual burden hours across all 

uranium surveys will increase slightly 

from 1,769 hours to 1,775 hours; 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 99; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 132; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 1775; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA 

estimates that there are no capital and 

start-up costs associated with this data 

collection. The information is 

maintained during the normal course of 

business. The cost of the burden hours 

is estimated to be $155,064 (1,775 

burden hours times $87.36 per hour). 

Other than the cost of burden hours, EIA 

estimates that there are no additional 

costs for generating, maintaining, and 

providing this information. 

Comments are invited on: (a) whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information has practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
