assess the level of service the DTIC 

provides to its current customers. The 

surveys will provide information on the 

level of overall customer satisfaction as 

well as on customer satisfaction with 

several attributes of service that impact 

the level of overall satisfaction. These 

customer satisfaction surveys are 

required to implement Executive Order 

12862, ‘‘Setting Customer Service 

Standards.’’ Respondents are DTIC 

registered users who are components of 

the DoD, military services, other Federal 

Government Agencies, U.S. Government 

contractors, and universities involved in 

federally funded research. The 

information obtained by these surveys 

will be used to assist agency senior 

management in determining agency 

business policies and processes that 

should be selected for examination, 

modification, and reengineering from 

the customer’s perspective. These 

surveys will also provide statistical and 

demographic basis for the design of 

follow-on surveys. Future surveys will 

be used to assist monitoring of changes 

in the level of customer satisfaction over 

time. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit; Not-for-profit institutions. 

Annual Burden Hours: 810. 

Number of Respondents: 12,150.

Title of Collection: Promoting Student 

Success in Algebra I Project. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 201. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 208. 

Abstract: The Promoting Student 

Success in Algebra I (PSSA) study aims 

to provide policy-makers and 

practitioners with a deeper 

understanding of how instructional 

practices, professional development, 

instructional coaching, curriculum 

alignment, and expanded learning/ 

double-dose algebra can serve as 

possible avenues for improving student 

success in mathematics and particularly 

Algebra I, a critical gateway course for 

which student success is a strong 

predictor of high-school graduation. 

The PSSA study will incorporate 

research findings, school-based 

perspectives from education 

practitioners, and case studies of district 

and school sites that are implementing 

exemplary initiatives in the five topical 

areas that represent common leverage 

points for addressing student needs in 

mathematics. This work will make an 

important contribution by producing 

actionable information for educators 

and policymakers about how to promote 

success in Algebra I for all students 

while simultaneously increasing the 

demands on teacher effectiveness and 

student performance in preparation for 

the Common Core State Standards for 

Mathematics (CCSSM). The study 

centers around three major research 

questions as follows: 

(1) What is the evidence to support 

practices or strategies in the areas of 

instructional practices, professional 

development, instructional coaching,
