response to this notice will be

Title of Collection: EDFacts Data 

Collection School Years 2025–26, 

2026–27, and 2027–28 (with 2024–25 

Continuation). 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0925. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 61. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 126,880. 

Abstract: EDFacts is a U.S. 

Department of Education (ED) initiative, 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES), to collect, 

analyze, report on, and promote the use 

of high-quality, pre-kindergarten 

through grade 12 (pre-K–12) 

performance data. By centralizing data 

provided by state education agencies 

about state level data, local education 

agencies, and schools, NCES uses the 

EDFacts data to report on students, 

schools, staff, services, and education 

outcomes at the state, district, and 

school levels. The centralized approach 

provides ED users with the ability to 

efficiently analyze and report on 

submitted data and has reduced the 

reporting burden for state and local data 

producers through the use of 

streamlined data collection, analysis, 

and reporting tools. EDFacts collects 

information on behalf of ED grant and 

program offices for approximately 170 

data groups for all 50 states, Washington 

DC, Puerto Rico, and seven outlying 

areas and freely associated states 

(American Samoa, Federated States of 

Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands, Republic of Palau, and the U.S. 

Virgin Islands), the Department of 

Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), 

and the Bureau of Indian Education 

(BIE). 

This request is to collect EDFacts data 

for the 2025–26, 2026–27, and 2027–28 

school years. This collection package 

will be available for public comment 

during two open periods, a 60-day and 

a 30-day, after which revisions will be 

made accordingly. As part of the public 

comment period review, ED requests 

that SEAs and other stakeholders 

respond to the directed questions found 

in Attachment D. Due to overlap in the 

timing of data collection activities 

between consecutive years of the 

EDFacts collection, we are carrying over 

in this submission the approved SY 

2024–25 data collection, which is 

scheduled to end in February 2026.
