3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

might the Department minimize the

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records.

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 2022–23, 2023–24, and 

2024–25 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 and 

D–1. 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 2021–22 

data collection, which is scheduled to 

end in February 2023.
