the 11th cycle in the NPSAS series that 

will be conducted during the 2019–20 

academic year. NPSAS:20 also will 

serve as the base year data collection for 

the Beginning Postsecondary Students 

Longitudinal Study (BPS), a study of 

first-time beginning postsecondary 

students that will be conducted three 

years (BPS:20/22) and six years (BPS:20/ 

25) after beginning their postsecondary 

education. This request covers 

NPSAS:20 field test materials and 

procedures related to institution 

sampling, institution contacting, 

enrollment list collection, and 

enrollment list sampling, which are 

scheduled to begin by November 2018. 

In late 2018, NCES will submit a 

separate request for the NPSAS:20 field 

test student data collection, including 

student record data abstraction and 

student interviews, which in turn are 

scheduled to begin in January 2019. 

Following the 2018–19 field test study, 

NCES will request to conduct the 

NPSAS:20 full-scale data collection, 

scheduled to take place from October 1, 

2019 through September 2020. The 

materials that will be used in the 2019– 

20 full-scale study will be based upon 

the field test materials included in this 

submission and in the forthcoming 

student data collection submission.

Title of Collection: Fast Response 

Survey System (FRSS) 109: Teachers’ 

Use of Technology for School and 

Homework Assignments. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0857. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 9,500. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,251. 

Abstract: The Fast Response Survey 

System (FRSS) 109 survey on teachers’ 

use of technology for school and 

homework assignments in public 

schools is conducted by the National 

Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 

as part of the IES response to the request 

in the Every Student Succeeds Act of 

2015 (ESSA, 20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) to 

provide information about the 

educational impact of access to digital 

learning resources (DLRs) outside of the 

classroom. The expanding use of 

technology affects the lives of students 

both inside and outside the classroom. 

For this reason, the role of technology 

in education is an increasingly 

important area of research. While access 

to technology can provide valuable 

learning opportunities to students, 

technology by itself does not guarantee 

successful outcomes. Schools and 

teachers play an important role in 

successfully integrating technology into 

teaching and learning. Findings from 

the FRSS 109 study will provide insight 

on the types and availability of DLRs 

outside of the classroom, and will 

contribute to IES legislatively mandated 

report on the educational impact of 

access to DLRs outside the classroom. 

To provide the needed data, FRSS 109 

will collect nationally representative 

data from public school teachers about 

their use of DLRs for teaching, and how 

their knowledge and beliefs about their 

students’ access to DLRs outside the 

classroom affect the assignments they 

give. The survey will focus on 

information that can best be provided by 

teachers from their perspective and 

direct interaction with students. FRSS 

109 will provide national statistics on: 

(1) Teachers’ knowledge and beliefs 

about students’ access to technology for 

doing school assignments outside of 

school; (2) Barriers and challenges 

teachers believe their students face in 

using technology for class assignments 

outside of school; and (3) Computers 

that the district or school may make 

available to students for use outside of 

class time. The request for FRSS 109 

preliminary activities, including 

securing research approval from special 

contact school districts beginning in 

April 2018, notifying superintendents of 

districts with sampled schools about the 

survey, and obtaining teacher lists from 

sampled schools beginning in August 

2018, was approved in March 2018, 

with the latest change request approved 

in April 2018 (1850–0857 v.2–4). This 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 129 / Thursday, July 5, 2018 / Notices 31385 

request is to conduct the FRSS 109 data 

collection.

(NTPS 2019–20) Preliminary Field 

Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0598. 

Type of Review: A revision of an

Abstract: The National Teacher and 

Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted 

biennially by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES), is a system 

of related questionnaires that provides 

descriptive data on the context of 

elementary and secondary education. 

Redesigned from the Schools and 

Staffing Survey (SASS) with a focus on 

flexibility, timeliness, and integration 

with other ED data, the NTPS system 

allows for school, principal, and teacher 

characteristics to be analyzed in relation 

to one another. NTPS is an in-depth, 

nationally representative survey of first 

through twelfth grade public school 

teachers, principals, and schools. 

Kindergarten teachers in schools with at 

least a first grade are also surveyed. 

NTPS utilizes core content and a series 

of rotating modules to allow timely 

collection of important education trends 

as well as trend analysis. Topics 

covered include characteristics of 

teachers, principals, schools, teacher 

training opportunities, retention, 

retirement, hiring, and shortages. This 

request is to contact districts and 

schools in order to begin preliminary 

activities for NTPS 2019–20, namely: (a) 

Contacting and seeking research 

approvals from special contact districts, 

where applicable, (b) notifying districts 

that their school(s) have been selected 

for NTPS 2019–20, and (c) notifying 

sampled schools of their selection for 

the survey and verifying their mailing 

addresses.
