The closed meeting from 11 a.m. to 12 

p.m. on March 19, 2024, will consist of 

discussions of new and pending 

administrative or minor disciplinary 

infractions and non-judicial 

punishments involving midshipmen 

attending the Naval Academy to include 

but not limited to, individual honor or 

conduct violations within the Brigade, 

the disclosure of which would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. For this 

reason, a portion of this meeting will be 

closed to the public, as the discussion 

of such information cannot be 

adequately segregated from other topics, 

which precludes opening the closed 

meeting to the public. The Principal 

Deputy General Counsel has determined 

in writing that the meeting shall be 

partially closed to the public because 

the discussions during the closed 

meeting from 11 a.m. to noon (12 p.m.) 

will be concerned with matters 

protected under sections 552b(c) (5), (6), 

and (7) of title 5, U.S.C. 

Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552b. 

Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 

FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.140, this 

meeting is open to the public. Any 

public attendance at the meeting will be 

governed by prevailing health directives 

at the United States Naval Academy. 

Please contact the Executive Secretary 

five business days prior the meeting to 

coordinate access to the meeting. 

Written Statements: Per section 

10(a)(3) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102– 

3.105(j) and 102–3.140, interested 

persons may submit a written statement 

for consideration at any time, but 

should be received by the Designated 

Federal Officer at least five business 

days prior to the meeting date so that 

the comments may be made available to 

the Board for their consideration prior 

to the meeting. Written statements 

should be submitted via mail to 121 

Blake Rd, Annapolis, MD 21402. Please 

note that since the Board operates under 

the provisions of the FACA, as 

amended, all submitted comments and 

public presentations may be treated as 

public documents and may be made 

available for public inspection, 

including, but not limited to, being 

posted on the board website.

Department is soliciting comments on 

the proposed information collection 

request (ICR) that is described below. 

The Department is especially interested 

in public comment addressing the 

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: School Pulse Panel 

2024–25 Data Collection Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0969. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 53,955. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 10,175. 

Abstract: The School Pulse Panel 

(SPP) is a data collection that was 

originally designed to collect voluntary 

responses from a nationally 

representative sample of public schools 

to better understand how schools, 

students, and educators were 

responding to the ongoing stressors of 

the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the 

immediate need to collect information 

from schools during the pandemic to 

satisfy the requirement of Executive 

Order 14000, an emergency clearance 

was issued to develop and field the first 

several monthly collections of the SPP 

in 2021 and a full review of the SPP data 

collection was performed under the 

traditional clearance review process in 

2022 (OMB# 1850–0969). SPPs 

innovative design and timely 

dissemination of findings have been 

used and cited frequently among 

Department of Education senior 

leadership, the White House Domestic 

Policy Council, the USDA’s Food and 

Nutrition Service, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 

Congressional deliberations, and the 

media. The ongoing, growing interest by 

stakeholders resulted in the request for 

dedicated funding to create an 

established NCES quick-turnaround 

data collection vehicle to become a 

mainstay for NCES. Funding for a 

mainstay collection was approved in 

late 2022, and NCES conducted a new

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.
