Title of Collection: National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

(NAEP) 2025 Long-Term Trend (LTT). 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0928. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 61,360. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 21,536. 

Abstract: The National Assessment of 

Educational Progress (NAEP), 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES), is a 

federally authorized survey of student 

achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in 

various subject areas, such as 

mathematics, reading, writing, science, 

U.S. history, civics, geography, 

economics, technology and engineering 

literacy (TEL), and the arts. The 

National Assessment of Educational 

Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L. 

107–279 Title III, section 303) requires 

the assessment to collect data on 

specified student groups and 

characteristics, including information 

organized by race/ethnicity, gender, 

socio-economic status, disability, and 

limited English proficiency. It requires 

fair and accurate presentation of 

achievement data and permits the 

collection of background, noncognitive, 

or descriptive information that is related 

to academic achievement and aids in 

fair reporting of results. The intent of 

the law is to provide representative 

sample data on student achievement for 

the nation, the states, and 

subpopulations of students and to 

monitor progress over time. NAEP 

consists of two assessment programs: 

the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) 

assessment and the main NAEP 

assessment. The LTT assessments are 

given at the national level only and are 

administered to students at ages 9, 13, 

and 17 in a manner that is very different 

from that used for the main NAEP 

assessments. LTT reports mathematics 

and reading results that present trend 

data since the 1970s. In addition to the 

operational assessments, NAEP uses two 

other kinds of assessment activities: 

pilot assessments and special studies. 

Pilot assessments test items and 

procedures for future administrations of 

NAEP, while special studies (including 

the National Indian Education Study 

(NIES), the Middle School Transcript 

Study (MSTS), and the High School 

Transcript Study (HSTS)) are 

opportunities for NAEP to investigate 

particular aspects of the assessment 

without impacting the reporting of the 

NAEP results. The initial request for 

clearance of NAEP 2024 received OMB 

approval in April 2023 (OMB #1850– 

0928 v.28). Amendment #1 to the NAEP 

2024 clearance package received OMB 

approval in June 2023 (OMB #1850– 

0928 v.29). Since that packages 

submission for public comment and 

OMB approval, changes have occurred 

to the scope of the 2024 NAEP 

administration, including the addition 

of: (1) Addition of Reading Router Pilot 

for grades 4 and 8, increasing costs, (2) 

Addition of School and District 

Technology Coordinator roles and SBE 

survey completion, increasing burden 

hours, (3) Addition of protocols for the 

health and safety of field staff, 

increasing costs, (4) Reduction in SQ 

burden time for students, teachers and 

schools since COVID–19 learning 

recovery items are no longer adding 

additional time to the SQs; rather, other 

items were dropped to accommodate 

these items, reducing burden hours; and 

(5) Addition of Field Trial for grades, 4, 

8 and 12, increasing burden hours and 

costs. This revision updates Part A and 

Part B detailing the changes to scope 

and references to the communication 

materials and the amendment schedule, 

Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, 

Appendix D (added communication 

materials), Appendix G, Appendix I, 

and Appendices J1, J2, J3, and J–S to 

include the operational survey 

questionnaires (SQs), COVID–19 

Learning Recovery SQs, NIES SQs, and 

Pilot SQs.
