Title of Collection: Early Childhood 

Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class 

of 2023–24 (ECLS–K:2024) August 2024 

Materials Revision Request. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0750. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 157,586. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 84,093. 

Abstract: The Early Childhood 

Longitudinal Study (ECLS) program, 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) within the 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of 

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

draws together information from 

multiple sources to provide rich, 

descriptive data on child development, 

early learning, and school progress. The 

ECLS program studies deliver national 

data on children’s status at birth and at 

various points thereafter; children’s 

transitions to nonparental care, early 

care and education programs, and 

school; and children’s experiences and 

growth through the elementary grades. 

The Early Childhood Longitudinal 

Study, Kindergarten Class of 2023–24 

(ECLS–K:2024) is the fourth cohort in 

the series of early childhood 

longitudinal studies. The study will 

advance research in child development 

and early learning by providing a 

detailed and comprehensive source of 

current information on children’s early 

learning and development, transitions

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 177 / Thursday, September 12, 2024 / Notices 74265 

into kindergarten and beyond, and 

progress through school. The ECLS– 

K:2024 will provide data about the 

population of children in kindergarten 

during the 2023–24 school year. 

The request to conduct the first three 

national data collection rounds for the 

ECLS–K:2024 was approved in April 

2023 (OMB# 1850–0750 v26). Revisions 

to procedures and materials for the first 

two rounds of data collection were 

submitted and approved in three 

subsequent revisions requests (OMB# 

1850–0750 v27 was approved in July 

2023; OMB# 1850–0750 v29 was 

approved in February 2024; and 

OMB#1850–0750 v30 was approved in 

July 2024). The ECLS–K:2024 fall 

kindergarten data collection was 

conducted August 2023–January 2024 

and the spring kindergarten round was 

conducted March–July 2024. These two 

kindergarten data collections will be 

followed by a spring (March–July 2025) 

first-grade round. Each of these rounds 

of data collection involves advance 

school contacts, for example to conduct 

student sampling activities, collect 

teacher and school information, and 

locate families whose children may 

have moved schools. Future OMB 

packages are planned for the third-grade 

pilot test (March–July 2026), as well as 

for the future currently-planned round, 

that is the national spring (March–July 

2027) third-grade round. 

This current revision request 

(accompanied by 30 days of public 

comment) is to update study respondent 

materials, surveys, and website designs 

that will be used in the spring 2025 

first-grade data collection activities. 

Many of the revisions in this package 

were based on analyses of the fall 2022 

field test data (OMB# 1850–0750 v25) 

and experiences in the field from the 

national kindergarten rounds of 

collection, as well as additional 

discussions with design experts, all of 

which informed changes to the design of 

the surveys and assessments. Changes 

have been made to respondent materials 

to remove references to the fifth-grade 

round, as this collection is no longer 

planned. Revisions to the study 

instruments, the respondent materials, 

and websites are limited to changes to 

the spring first-grade materials. The 

current revision request contains 

updates to the school staff and parent 

survey instruments made as the 

specifications were programmed. 

This revision request also contains the 

specifications for the Spanish and 

Mandarin translations of some parent 

materials. Finally, this request revises 

the race/ethnicity items in the web and 

hard-copy first-grade survey 

instruments in line with the new federal 

statistical standard released on 3/28/24 

(Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: 

Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, 

and Presenting Federal Data on Race 

and Ethnicity (SPD 15)). The requested 

changes in this revision request reflect 

a slight increase in the cost to the 

federal government, but do not change 

the estimated respondent burden for 

conducting this study.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy 

Act of 1974 and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circulars A–108 and A–130, the 

Department of Energy (DOE or the 

Department) is publishing notice of a 

modification to an existing Privacy Act 

System of Records. DOE proposes to 

amend System of Records DOE–71, The 

Radiation Accident Registry. This 

System of Records Notice (SORN) is 

being modified to align with new 

formatting requirements, published by 

the OMB, and to ensure appropriate 

Privacy Act coverage of business 

processes and Privacy Act information. 

While there are no substantive changes 

to the ‘‘Categories of Individuals’’ or 

‘‘Categories of Records’’ sections 

covered by this SORN, substantive 

changes have been made to the ‘‘System 

Locations,’’ ‘‘Routine Uses,’’ and 

‘‘Administrative, Technical and 

Physical Safeguards’’ sections to 

provide greater transparency. Changes 

to ‘‘Routine Uses’’ include new 

provisions related to responding to 

breaches of information held under a 

Privacy Act SORN as required by OMB’s 

Memorandum M–17–12, ‘‘Preparing for 

and Responding to a Breach of 

Personally Identifiable Information’’ 

(January 3, 2017). Language throughout 

the SORN has been updated to align 

with applicable Federal privacy laws, 

policies, procedures, and best practices. 

DATES: This modified SORN will 

become applicable following the end of 

the public comment period on October 

15, 2024 unless comments are received 

that result in a contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 

735 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 

20503 and to Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy 

Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 

8H–085, Washington, DC 20585, by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151, or by email 

at privacy@hq.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken 

Hunt, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 8H– 

085, Washington, DC 20585 or by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151, or by email 

at privacy@hq.doe.gov, or by telephone 

at (240) 686–9485. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2009, DOE published a 

Compilation of its Privacy Act Systems 

of Records, which included System of 

Records DOE–71, The Radiation 

Accident Registry. In the ‘‘Routine 

Uses’’ section, this modified notice 

deletes a previous routine use 

concerning efforts responding to a 

suspected or confirmed loss of 

confidentiality of information as it 

appears in DOE’s compilation of its 

Privacy Act Systems of Records (January 

9, 2009) and replaces it with one to 

assist DOE with responding to a 

suspected or confirmed breach of its 

records of Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII), modeled with 

language from OMB’s Memorandum M– 

17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding 

to a Breach of Personally Identifiable 

Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Further, 

this notice adds one new routine use to 

ensure that DOE may assist another 

agency or entity in responding to the 

other agency’s or entity’s confirmed or 

suspected breach of PII, as appropriate, 

as aligned with OMB’s Memorandum 

M–17–12. Updates to the routine uses 

includes aligning them with the 2004 

and 2015 amendments to The Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) 

of 2000 by Subtitle E of Division C of 

the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 

(Pub. L. 108–375) and Carl Levin and 

Howard P. ‘‘Buck’’ McKeon National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2015 (Pub. L. 113–291). These 

changes include removing two 

categories of obsolete users and 

modifying a category to include 

advisory boards. The routine use 

formerly numbered four has been 

deleted as its governing Memorandum
