BILLING CODE 3129–04–P 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Submission of Data by State 

Educational Agencies; Submission 

Dates for State Revenue and 

Expenditure Reports for Fiscal Year 

2021, Revisions to Those Reports, and 

Revisions to Prior Fiscal Year Reports 

AGENCY: National Center for Education 

Statistics, Institute of Education 

Sciences, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces 

dates for State educational agencies 

(SEAs) to submit expenditure and 

revenue data and average daily 

attendance statistics on ED Form 2447 

(the National Public Education 

Financial Survey (NPEFS)) for fiscal 

year (FY) 2021, revisions to those 

reports, and revisions to reports for 

previous fiscal years. The Secretary sets 

these dates to ensure that data are 

available to serve as the basis for timely 

distribution of Federal funds. The U.S. 

Census Bureau is the data collection 

agent for this request of the Department 

of Education’s National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES). The data 

will be published by NCES and will be 

used by the Secretary in the calculation 

of allocations for FY 2023 appropriated 

funds. 

DATES: SEAs can begin submitting data 

for FY 2021 and revisions to previously 

submitted data for FY 2020 on Monday, 

January 31, 2022. SEAs are urged to 

submit accurate and complete data by 

Friday, March 25, 2022, to facilitate 

timely processing. The deadline for the 

final submission of all data, including 

any revisions to previously submitted 

data for FY 2020 and FY 2021, is 

Monday, August 15, 2022. Any 

resubmissions of FY 2020 or FY 2021 

data by SEAs in response to requests for 

clarification, reconciliation, or other 

inquiries by NCES or the Census Bureau 

must be completed as soon as possible, 

but no later than Tuesday, September 6, 

2022. All outstanding data issues must 

be reconciled or resolved by the SEAs, 

NCES, and the Census Bureau as soon 

as possible, but no later than September 

6, 2022. 

Submission Information: SEAs are 

encouraged to submit data online using 

the interactive survey form on the 

NPEFS data collection website at: 

https://surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs. 

The NPEFS interactive survey includes 

a digital confirmation page where a 

personal identification number (PIN) 

may be entered. A successful entry of 

the PIN serves as a signature by the 

authorizing official. Alternatively, a 

certification form also may be printed 

from the website, signed by the 

authorizing official, and mailed to the 

Economic Reimbursable Surveys 

Division of the Census Bureau at the 

Washington, DC, address provided 

above, within five business days after 

submission of the NPEFS web 

interactive form. 

SEAs may mail ED Form 2447 to: U.S. 

Census Bureau, ATTENTION: Economic 

Reimbursable Surveys Division, 4600 

Silver Hill Road, Suitland, MD 20746. 

If an SEA’s submission is received by 

the Census Bureau after August 15, 

2022, the SEA must show one of the 

following as proof that the submission 

was mailed on or before that date: 

1. A legibly dated U.S. Postal Service 

postmark. 

2. A legible mail receipt with the date 

of mailing stamped by the U.S. Postal 

Service. 

3. A dated shipping label, invoice, or 

receipt from a commercial carrier. 

4. Any other proof of mailing 

acceptable to the Secretary. 

If the SEA mails ED Form 2447 

through the U.S. Postal Service, the 

Secretary does not accept either of the 

following as proof of mailing: 

1. A private metered postmark. 

2. A mail receipt that is not dated by 

the U.S. Postal Service. 

Note: The U.S. Postal Service does not 

uniformly provide a dated postmark. 

Before relying on this method, an SEA 

should check with its local post office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 153(a)(1)(I) of the Education 

Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C. 

9543(a)(1)(I), which authorizes NCES to 

gather data on the financing and 

management of education, NCES 

collects data annually from SEAs 

through ED Form 2447. The report from 

SEAs includes attendance, revenue, and 

expenditure data from which NCES 

determines a State’s ‘‘average per-pupil 

expenditure’’ (SPPE) for elementary and 

secondary education, as defined in 

section 8101(2) of the Elementary and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
1410 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2022 / Notices 

Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7801(2)). 

In addition to using the SPPE data as 

general information on the financing of 

elementary and secondary education, 

the Secretary uses these data directly in 

calculating allocations for certain 

formula grant programs, including, but 

not limited to, title I, part A, of the 

ESEA, Impact Aid, and Indian 

Education programs. Other programs, 

such as the Education for Homeless 

Children and Youth program under title 

VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless 

Assistance Act, and the Student Support 

and Academic Enrichment Grants under 

title IV, part A of the ESEA make use of 

SPPE data indirectly because their 

formulas are based, in whole or in part, 

on State title I, part A, allocations. 

In January 2022, the Census Bureau, 

acting as the data collection agent for 

NCES, will email ED Form 2447 to 

SEAs, with instructions, and will 

request that SEAs commence submitting 

FY 2021 data to the Census Bureau on 

Monday, January 31, 2022. SEAs are 

urged to submit accurate and complete 

data by Friday, March 25, 2022, to 

facilitate timely processing. 

Submissions by SEAs to the Census 

Bureau will be analyzed for accuracy 

and returned to each SEA for 

verification. SEAs must submit all data, 

including any revisions to FY 2020 and 

FY 2021 data, to the Census Bureau no 

later than Monday, August 15, 2022. 

Any resubmissions of FY 2020 or FY 

2021 data by SEAs in response to 

requests for clarification or 

reconciliation or other inquiries by 

NCES or the Census Bureau must be 

completed by Tuesday, September 6, 

2022. Between August 15, 2022, and 

September 6, 2022, SEAs may also, on 

their own initiative, resubmit data to 

resolve issues not addressed in their 

NPEFS data submitted by August 15, 

2022. All outstanding data issues must 

be reconciled or resolved by the SEAs, 

NCES, and the Census Bureau as soon 

as possible, but no later than September 

6, 2022. 

In order to facilitate timely 

submission of data, the Census Bureau 

will send reminder notices to SEAs in 

June and July of 2022. 

Having accurate, consistent, and 

timely information is critical to an 

efficient and fair Department of 

Education (Department) allocation 

process and to the NCES statistical 

process. The Department establishes 

Monday, August 15, 2022, as the date by 

which SEAs must submit data using 

either the interactive survey form on the 

NPEFS data collection website at 

https://surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs/ or 

ED Form 2447. This date is established 

to ensure that the best, most accurate 

data will be available to support timely 

distribution of Federal education funds. 

Any resubmissions of FY 2020 or FY 

2021 data by SEAs in response to 

requests for clarification or 

reconciliation or other inquiries by 

NCES or the Census Bureau must be 

completed through the interactive 

survey form on the NPEFS data 

collection website or ED Form 2447 by 

Tuesday, September 6, 2022. If an SEA 

submits revised data after the September 

6, 2022, deadline that result in a lower 

SPPE figure, the SEA’s allocations may 

be adjusted downward, or the 

Department may direct the SEA to 

return funds. 

Note: The following are important 

dates in the data collection process for 

FY 2021 data and revisions to reports 

for previous fiscal years: 

Date Activity 

January 31, 2022 ............................ SEAs can begin to submit data for FY 2021 and revisions to previously submitted data for FY 2020.
