14642 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2024 / Notices 

collection during the 2023–24 school 

year. The purpose of this request is for 

a full review of the 2024–25 SPP data 

collection under the traditional 

clearance review process. 

For the 2024–25 school year, the 

survey will ask school staff about a wide 

range of topics, including, but not 

limited to, staffing, learning recovery, 

tutoring, usage of federal funds, 

facilities, transportation, school 

environment issues, and overall 

principal and staff experiences, in 

addition to repeating items from the 

previous collections. It is planned that 

some new content will be rotated in 

(and some rotated out) monthly. This 

package includes details regarding the 

methodology and operations, as well as 

potential content areas and an item bank 

of potential items that can be asked any 

month. 

The School Pulse Panel study is one 

of the few reliable, nationally 

representative, quick-turnaround 

studies that produces data on U.S. 

public schools. The sample design for 

the 2024–25 collection will roughly be 

the same as the 2023–24 collection, with 

4,000 public elementary, middle, high, 

and combined-grade schools in an 

initial sample and 4,000 public 

elementary, middle, high, and 

combined-grade schools in a reserve 

sample. These schools will be selected 

via a random stratified sampling 

approach. 

This submission will undergo a 60- 

day public comment period, followed 

by an additional 30-day public comment 

period. We continue to make revisions 

to the communication materials 

(Appendix A) and will present final 

versions for the 30-day comment period. 

Items in the Item Bank (Appendix B) 

that have not already been approved are 

consider draft and will undergo 

cognitive testing and revision before 

final administration. Final instruments 

for the August, September, and October 

2024 surveys (Appendix C1) will be 

added to this package during the 30-day 

public comment, to be posted in late 

spring 2024. Final items will be 

submitted to OMB through a change 

request. Subsequent quarterly 

instruments will also be posted for 30- 

day comment in the months 

immediately preceding their 

administration, potentially followed by 

change requests to allow for small 

changes in items as deemed necessary 

by cognitive testing.

Title of Collection: Revised Second 

Chance Pell Experiment and Prison 

Education Program (PEP) Data 

Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector; State, Local, and Tribal 

Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 675. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 6,750. 

Abstract: This is a request for a new 

information collection to collect 

programmatic and student information 

from participating institutions. This 

collection will cover the required 

statutory reporting for both the revised 

Second Chance Pell experiment and 

Prison Education Programs (PEPs) for 

confined or incarcerated individuals. 

Since schools participating in the 

Second Chance Pell experiment have 

three years to transition their programs 

under the experiment to comply with 

the PEP requirements, the data collected 

for the experiment and the PEP 

provisions is almost identical. The only 

difference is the specific information 

collected from institutions participating 

in the Second Chance Pell to provide a 

status of their progress in converting 

their current programs under the 

experiment to be in compliance with the 

PEP provisions.
