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: Quick Response 

Information System (QRIS) 2015–2018 

System Clearance. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0733. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Government. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 104,004. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) Quick 

Response Information System (QRIS) 

consists of the Fast Response Survey 

System (FRSS) and the Postsecondary 

Education Quick Information System 

(PEQIS). The QRIS currently conducts 

surveys under OMB generic clearance 

1850–0733, which expires in May 2015. 

This submission requests approval to 

continue the current clearance 

conditions through 2018. FRSS 

primarily conducts surveys of the 

elementary/secondary sector (districts, 

schools) and public libraries. PEQIS 

conducts surveys of the postsecondary 

education sector. FRSS and PEQIS 

surveys are cleared under the QRIS 

generic clearance. The QRIS clearance is 

subject to the regular clearance process 

at OMB with a 60-day notice and a 30- 

day notice as part of the 120-day review 

period. Each individual FRSS or PEQIS 

survey is then subject to clearance 

process with an abbreviated clearance 

package, justifying the particular 

content of the survey, describing the 

sample design, the timeline for the 

survey activities, and the questionnaire. 

The review period for each individual 

survey is 45 days, including a 30-day 

Federal Register notice period. OMB 

will provide comments as soon after the 

end of the 30-day notice period as 

possible. This generic clearance request 

is for surveys of surveys of state 

education agencies, school districts, 

schools, postsecondary institutions, and 

libraries.
