Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 116 / Wednesday, June 17, 2015 / Notices 34623 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0456. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (revision 

and extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 1. 

Average Hours per Response: 3. 

Burden Hours: 3. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision and extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) requires pelagic longline vessel 

operators to notify NMFS in the event 

an endangered short-tailed albatross is 

hooked or entangled during fishing 

operations. Following the retrieval of 

the seabird from the ocean, as required 

by Federal regulations, the vessel 

captain must record the condition of the 

injured short-tailed albatross on a 

recovery data form. A veterinarian will 

use the information in providing advice 

to the captain caring for the short-tailed 

albatross. If the albatross is dead, the 

captain must attach an identification tag 

to the carcass to assist the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologists in 

follow-up studies on the specimen. This 

collection is one of the terms and 

conditions contained in the biological 

opinion issued by USFWS, and is 

intended to maximize the probability of 

the long-term survival of short-tailed 

albatross accidentally taken by longline 

gear. 

The form has been modified based on 

public comment. 

Affected Public: Business and other 

for-profit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow

Title of Collection: Middle Grades 

Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017 

(MGLS:2017) Item Validation and 

Operational Field Tests. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0911. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 25,951. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 8,729. 

Abstract: The Middle Grades 

Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017 

(MGLS:2017) is the first study 

sponsored by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES), within the 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of 

the U.S. Department of Education (ED), 

to follow a nationally-representative 

sample of students as they enter and 

move through the middle grades (grades 

6–8). The data collected through 

repeated measures of key constructs will 

provide a rich descriptive picture of the 

academic experiences and development 

of students during these critical years 

and will allow researchers to examine 

associations between contextual factors 

and student outcomes. The study will 

focus on student achievement in 

mathematics and literacy along with 

measures of student socioemotional 

wellbeing and other outcomes. The 

study will also include a special sample 

of students with different types of 

disabilities that will provide descriptive 

information on their outcomes, 

educational experiences, and special 

education services. Baseline data for the 

MGLS:2017 will be collected from a 

nationally-representative sample of 6th 

grade students in winter of 2017 with 

annual follow-ups in winter 2018 and 

winter 2019 when most of the students 

in the sample will be in grades 7 and 8, 

respectively. This request is to 

concurrently conduct the Item 

Validation and the Operational Field 

Tests for the MGLS: 2017, beginning in 

January 2016. The primary purpose of 

the Item Validation Field Test is to 

determine the psychometric properties 

of items and the predictive potential of 

assessment and survey items so that 

valid, reliable, and useful assessment 

and survey instruments can be 

composed for the main study. The 

primary purposes of the Operational 

Field Test are to obtain information on 

recruiting, particularly for the targeted 

disability groups; on obtaining a 

tracking sample that can be used to 

study mobility patterns in subsequent 

years; and on administrative 

procedures.
