Title of Collection: School Pulse Panel 

2025–26 and 2026–27 (SPP 2025–26, 

SPP 2026–27) Preliminary Field 

Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0975. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 6,339. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,503. 

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. The School 

Pulse Panel is conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES), part of the Institute of 

Education Sciences (IES), within the 

United States Department of Education. 

Initially, the purpose of the study was 

to collect extensive data on issues 

brought to light by the COVID–19 

pandemic, as well as other important 

education-related issues that could 

inform data-driven policy decisions, in 

U.S. public schools. Due to the 

immediate need to collect pandemic-era 

information from schools as described 

in 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 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 USDAs Food and 

Nutrition Service, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 

Congressional deliberations, and the 

media. The growing interest from 

stakeholders resulted in a request for 

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 collection during the 

2023–24 school year (OMB# 1850– 

0975). 

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 2025–26 collection will roughly be 

the same as the 2024–25 collection with 

4,000 public schools randomly selected 

to an initial sample and 4,000 in a 

reserve sample. It is expected these 

schools will come from roughly 3,000 

districts. The goal is national 

representation from about 1,200 

responding schools each month in order 

to report out national estimates. School 

staff will be asked to provide requested 

data monthly during the 2025–26 school 

year. This approach provides the ability 

to collect detailed information on 

various topics while also assessing 

changes over time for items that are 

repeated from year to year. Given the 

demand for data collection, the content 

of the survey is expected to change 

monthly. For the 2025–26 school year, 

the survey may ask school staff about a 

wide range of topics, including but not 

limited to staffing; learning recovery; 

absenteeism; usage of federal funds; and 

overall principal experiences. 

This package includes preliminary 

activities, including contacting and 

obtaining research approvals from 

public school districts with an 

established research approval process 

(special contact districts) where 

applicable; notifying sampled schools 

and districts of their selection for the 

survey; and inviting them to complete a 

short Screener Survey to establish 

points of contact. In spring of 2025, a 

clearance for main study data collection 

activities that will include instruments 

for the first quarter of collections will be 

submitted for 60-day and 30-day public 

comment. Subsequent quarterly content 

submissions will be submitted for 30- 

day public comment. 

This request is to conduct the SPP 

2025–26 preliminary activities. 

Substantial edits and additional 

materials may be added to this package 

after the 60-day public comment period 

is complete, in time for the subsequent 

30-day public comment period that will 

begin Fall 2024. Materials for SPP are 

cleared under two OMB Number 

sequences. Materials for SPP 2022 and 

SPP 2024–25 were cleared under OMB# 

1850–0969, while SPP 2023–24 and 

now SPP 2025–26 are cleared under 

OMB# 1850–0975.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–465–004] 

Driftwood Pipeline, LLC; Notice of 

Request for Extension of Time 

Take notice that on November 13, 

2024, Driftwood Pipeline, LLC 

(Driftwood Pipeline) requested that the 

Commission grant an extension of time, 

until October 21, 2027, to construct and 

place into service its Line 200 and Line 

300 Project (Project), located in 

Beauregard and Calcasieu Parishes, 

Louisiana, as authorized in the April 21, 

2023 Order Issuing Certificate (Order).1

The Order required Driftwood Pipeline 

to complete construction of the Project 

and make it available for service within 

two years of the date of the Order, or by 

April 21, 2025. 

Driftwood Pipeline states that it has 

experienced delays resulting from 

unforeseen circumstances, including 

litigation delays from an appeal of the 

Certificate Order in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the District of 

Columbia Circuit and uncertainty 

associated with impending changes in 

company leadership and other 

personnel related to a change in 

ownership of Driftwood Pipeline’s 

parent company. Driftwood Pipeline 

states that these issues further 

complicated efforts to reach a final 

investment decision, and thus 

additional time is required for 

completing construction of the Project 

and placing it into service. 

This notice establishes a 15-calendar 

day intervention and comment period 

deadline. Any person wishing to 

comment on Driftwood Pipeline’s 

request for an extension of time may do 

so. No reply comments or answers will 

be considered. If you wish to obtain 

legal status by becoming a party to the 

proceedings for this request, you 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file a motion to intervene 

in accordance with the requirements of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the Natural 

Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.10).
