Title of Collection: Federal Student 

Aid (FSA) Feedback System. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0141. 

Type of Review: An extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 43,200. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 7,344. 

Abstract: This is a request for 

extension of the current information 

collection of the FSA Feedback System, 

OMB Control 1845–0141. On March 10, 

2015, the White House issued a Student 

Aid Bill of Rights. Among the objectives 

identified was the creation of a 

centralized complaint system that is 

now resident and supported via the 

Federal Student Aid/Customer 

Engagement Management System. The 

purpose of the Customer Engagement 

Management System (CEMS) is to meet 

the objective: ‘‘Create a Responsive 

Student Feedback System: The 

Secretary of Education will create a new 

website by July 1, 2016, to give students 

and borrowers a simple and 

straightforward way to file complaints 

and provide feedback about federal 

student loan lenders, servicers, 

collections agencies, and institutions of 

higher education. Students and 

borrowers will be able to ensure that 

their complaints will be directed to the 

right party for timely resolution, and the 

Department of Education will be able to 

more quickly respond to issues and 

strengthen its efforts to protect the 

integrity of the student financial aid 

programs.’’

Title of Collection: National 

Household Education Survey 2023 

(NHES:2023) Full-scale Data Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0768. 

Type of Review: A reinstatement with 

change of a previously approved 

information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 137,150. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 18,295. 

Abstract: The National Household 

Education Surveys Program (NHES) 

collects data directly from households 

on early childhood care and education, 

children’s readiness for school, parents’ 

perceptions of school safety and 

discipline, before- and after-school 

activities of school-age children, 

participation in adult and career 

education, parents’ involvement in their 

children’s education, school choice, 

homeschooling, and civic involvement. 

NHES surveys were conducted 

approximately every other year from 

1991 through 2007 using random digit 

dial (RDD) sampling and telephone data 

collection from landline telephones 

only. Due to declining response rates in 

all RDD surveys, NCES redesigned 

NHES to collect data through selfadministered mailed questionnaires for 

the 2012 administration, which 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 30 / Monday, February 14, 2022 / Notices 8241 

included the Early Childhood Program 

Participation (ECPP), the Parent and 

Family Involvement in EducationEnrolled (PFI–E), and the Parent and 

Family Involvement in EducationHomeschooled (PFI–H) topical surveys. 

NHES:2016 continued the mail-based 

collection methodology, while also 

experimenting with the use of web 

survey collection. NHES:2019 continued 

the mail-based collection methodology 

and used the same methodology 

developed in the NHES:2016 web 

experiment for the majority of the 

sampled addresses. In 2019, 57 percent 

of cases responded by web, 36 by paper, 

and 7 percent by inbound phone. Also 

in 2019, PFI surveys for parents of 

enrolled and homeschooled students 

were merged into one survey 

instrument. NHES:2023 will again field 

the ECPP and the combined PFI survey 

used in the NHES:2019. NHES:2023 will 

use the same methodology developed in 

the NHES:2019 for the majority of 

sampled addresses, but will incorporate 

lessons learned from NHES:2019’s 

methodological experiments. 

Furthermore, given the potential change 

in the education landscape since 

COVID–19, particularly for online 

coursework, NCES plans to conduct a 

debriefing project with respondents 

during the NHES:2023 administration. 

The goal of the study is to gain greater 

insight about respondents who indicate 

that their child was enrolled in online 

courses. The debriefing interviews are 

designed to understand the true 

schooling experiences of these children 

and how well the survey functioned in 

capturing the context of these children’s 

virtual education experiences. The 

debriefing interviews will provide 

information that will assist NCES in 

understanding the NHES:2023 data on 

virtual education and in crafting items 

for future NHES administrations that 

will more accurately capture the details 

of virtual education.
