31300 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 111 / Friday, June 11, 2021 / Notices 

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 

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 

Preliminary Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local or Tribal Govt. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 4,120. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,086. 

Abstract: The School Pulse Panel is a 

new study to collect extensive data on 

issues concerning the impact of the 

COVID–19 pandemic on students and 

staff in U.S. public primary, middle, 

high, and combined-grade schools. It 

will be one of the nation’s few sources 

of reliable data on a wealth of 

information focused on school 

reopening efforts, virus spread 

mitigation strategies, services offered for 

students and staff, and technology use, 

as reported by school district staff and 

principals in U.S. public schools. About 

1,200 public elementary, middle, high, 

and combined-grade schools will be 

selected to participate in a panel where 

school and district staff will be asked to 

provide requested data monthly during 

the 2021–22 school years. This 

approach provides the ability to collect 

detailed information on various topics 

while also assessing changes in 

reopening efforts over time. Given the 

high demand for data collection during 

this time, the content of the survey may 

change on a quarterly basis. 

The School Pulse Panel is essentially 

a continuation of the National 

Assessment of Education Progress 

(NAEP) 2021 School Survey (OMB 

#1850–0957) that was fielded in the 

spring of 2021. That NAEP 2021 School 

Survey met the need of Executive Order 

14000 by using an existing sample and 

survey instrument to quickly collect 

information on instructional mode 

offerings and enrollment counts of 

various subgroups of students using the 

various instructional modes. The School 

Pulse Panel intends to continue to 

collect this critical information, along 

with other priority items for the White 

House, Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, and Department of 

Education program offices throughout 

the 2021–22 school year. 

Additional Information: NCES 

requests emergency clearance to allow 

us to comply with the January 21, 2021 

Executive Order on Supporting the 

Reopening and Continuing Operation of 

Schools and Early Childhood Education 

Providers which states that the 

Department of Education must 

‘‘coordinate with the Director of the 

Institute of Education Sciences to 

facilitate, consistent with applicable 

law, the collection of data necessary to 

fully understand the impact of the 

COVID–19 pandemic on students and 

educators, including data on the status 

of in-person learning. These data shall 

be disaggregated by student 

demographics, including race, ethnicity, 

disability, English-language-learner 

status, and free or reduced lunch status 

or other appropriate indicators of family 

income.’’ Normal clearance procedures 

would not allow IES to comply with the 

intent of this E.O. NCES will publish a 

Federal Register Notice soliciting 30 

days of public comment on this 

collection concurrent with district and 

school recruitment.

Title of Collection: National Study to 

Inform the 21st Century Community 

Learning Centers (CCLC) Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: Request for a new 

OMB Control Number. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1,922. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 707. 

Abstract: The 21st CCLC program 

funds services during non-school hours, 

primarily during the school year. The 

services aim to help students meet state 

academic standards, particularly for 

students in low-performing schools that 

serve high concentrations of low-income 

families. Most participants (71 percent) 

are students attending afterschool 

centers during the school year, with the 

remainder being family members (14 

percent) or summer attendees (15 

percent). Afterschool centers supported 

by program funds provide a broad range 

of activities and services, such as 

academic enrichment, physical activity, 

service learning, and activities to engage 

families. Program activities and services 

may play a crucial role in addressing the 

substantial learning loss and other 

challenges that have occurred as a result 

of the COVID–19 pandemic. 

This study will have two components. 

The first is a national snapshot of 

strategies that afterschool centers in the 

21st CCLC program use to serve their 

students and families. The national 

snapshot will complement and extend 

information from the program’s annual 

performance measures by providing an 

in-depth understanding of the key 

outcomes centers aim to promote and 

the diverse ways their activities and 

services for students and families, 

supports for staff, and improvement 

strategies are designed to promote these 

outcomes. Describing these strategies 

can provide insights into ways that 

centers seek to address longer-term 

challenges, such as learning loss and 

trauma, stemming from the pandemic. 

The second component is an evaluation 

of a continuous quality improvement 

system implemented in the program’s 

afterschool centers. The evaluation will 

examine the implementation and 

effectiveness of a system focused on 

improving staff practices that promote 

students’ social and emotional skills. 

Promoting these skills may be 

particularly important to compensate for 

the effects of the pandemic, in light of 

evidence that remote learning has 

negatively affected students’ social and 

emotional well-being. 

This package is the second of two 

packages. It only requests clearance for 

data collection activities that will occur 

after March 2022 and impose burden on 

respondents. A previously submitted 

package (ICR Reference No. 202102– 

1850–003) requested clearance for data 

collection activities that will occur 

before March 2022.
