requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. The 

Department is soliciting comments on 

the proposed information collection 

request (ICR) that is described below. 

The Department 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 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on 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. 

Title of Collection: School Pulse Panel 

2025–26 Data Collection Activities. 

OMB Control No.: 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: 53,955. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 10,175. 

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). 

SPP’s 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 USDA’s 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 and 2024–25 school years. 

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 2023–24 and 2024–25 

collections 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; facilities; transportation; 

technology; and overall principal and 

staff experiences. 

This submission will undergo a 60- 

day public comment period, followed 

by an additional 30-day public comment 

period. We continue to make revisions 

to the communication materials 

(Appendix A) and will present final 

versions for the 30-day comment period. 

Items in the Item Bank (Appendix B) 

that have not already been approved are 

consider draft and will undergo 

cognitive testing and revision before 

final administration. Final instruments 

for the August, September, and October 

2025 surveys (Appendix C1) will be 

added to this package during the 30-day 

public comment, to be posted in spring 

2025. Final items will be submitted to 

OMB through a change request. 

Subsequent quarterly instruments will 

also be posted for 30-day comment in 

the months immediately preceding their 

administration, potentially followed by 

change requests to allow for small 

changes in items as deemed necessary 

by cognitive testing. 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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Rescindment of system of 

records notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 

1974 and Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Circular No. A–108, the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) proposes to 

rescind two existing systems of records 

notices (SORNs). The Rescindment of 

System of Records Notice identifies the 

systems of records and explains why 

each is being rescinded. 

DATES: Comments on this rescindment 

notice must be received no later than 30 

days after the date of publication in the 

Federal Register. If no public comment 

is received during the period allowed 

for comment or unless otherwise 

published in the Federal Register by 

FERC, the rescindment will become 

effective a minimum of 30 days after the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register. If FERC receives public 

comments, FERC shall review the 

comments to determine whether any 

changes to the notice are necessary. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted in writing to Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE, Washington, DC 20426, or 

electronically to privacy@ferc.gov. 

Comments should indicate that they are 

submitted in response to ‘‘Management, 

Administrative, and Payroll System 

(MAPS) (FERC–36)’’ and ‘‘Commission 

Employee Assistance Program Records 

(FERC–54)’’. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Michelle Lipinski, Director, Human 

Resources Division, Office of the 

Executive Director, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502– 

6852. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two (2) 

systems of records were identified for 

rescindment from the FERC’s Privacy 

Act systems of records inventory. Those 

two systems of records were identified 

for rescindment because: (1) the records 

will be maintained as part of a modified 

system of records; or (2) the records are 

no longer maintained by FERC. 

1. OMB requires that each agency

provide assurance that systems of 

records do not duplicate any existing 

agency or government-wide systems of 

records (Appendix I, OMB Circular A– 

130). Management, Administrative, and 

Payroll System (MAPS) (FERC–36) was 

identified for rescindment because 

FERC is no longer using the 

Management, Administrative, and 

Payroll System (MAPS) and is instead 

using Federal Personnel Payroll System 

(FPPS) which is covered by Federal 

Personnel and Payroll Records (FERC– 

57) and PeopleSoft Financials which is

covered by Financial Management

Records (FERC–56).

2. Commission Employee Assistance

Program Records (FERC–54) was 

identified for rescindment because 

FERC no longer keeps records on 

employees who have been counseled or 

referred to the Employee Assistance 

Program for problems relating to 

alcoholism, drug abuse, job stress, 

chronic illness, family or relationship 

concerns, emotional and other similar 

issues. Instead, records of employees 

who sought assistance through that 

program are maintained by the Federal 

Occupational Health Program which is 

part of the Department of Health and 

Human Services.
