DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

AGENCY: Office of Career, Technical, and 

Adult Education, Department of 

Education.

tests, test forms, and delivery formats 

that the Secretary determines to be 

suitable for use in the National 

Reporting System for Adult Education 

(NRS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 14, 2008, we published in the 

Federal Register final regulations for 34 

CFR part 462, Measuring Educational 

Gain in the National Reporting System 

for Adult Education (NRS regulations) 

(73 FR 2306). The NRS regulations 

established the process the Secretary 

uses to determine the suitability of tests 

for use in the NRS by States and local 

eligible providers. We annually publish 

in the Federal Register and post on the 

internet at www.nrsweb.org a list of the 

names of tests and the educational 

functioning levels the tests are suitable 

to measure in the NRS as required by 

§ 462.12(c)(2). 

On December 13, 2016, the Secretary 

published in the Federal Register (81 

FR 89920) an annual notice of tests 

determined to be suitable for use in the 

NRS (December 2016 notice). The 

Secretary announced a list of tests and 

test forms determined to be suitable for 

use in the NRS, including: (1) Eight tests 

previously approved for a seven-year 

period from February 2, 2010 through 

February 2, 2017, and approved for an 

extended period through February 2, 

2019; (2) three tests previously 

approved for an extended period 

through February 2, 2017, and approved 

for an extended period through 

February 2, 2019; and (3) one test—a 

revised version of a test previously 

approved for an extended period 

through February 2, 2017—for which 

the Secretary extended approval 

through February 2, 2019. The Secretary 

took this action to extend the approved 

periods for all 12 of these tests through 

February 2, 2019, in light of the 

following intervening factors: (1) The 

Department of Education’s 

(Department’s) plan to implement new 

descriptors for the NRS educational 

functioning levels and implement new 

regulations in 34 CFR part 462 

(published in the Federal Register on 

August 19, 2016 (81 FR 55526) and 

effective as of September 19, 2016) that 

would govern the assessment review 

process; (2) the Department’s desire to 

minimize disruption for its grantees in 

the transition to the Adult Education 

and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) as 

authorized by the Workforce Innovation 

and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA), 

including with respect to measuring 

educational functioning level gain 

under the NRS; and (3) the attendant 

transition authority in section 503(c) of 

WIOA, which authorizes the Secretary 

of Education to ‘‘take such actions as the 

Secretary determines to be appropriate 

to provide for the orderly transition’’ 

from AEFLA as authorized by the 

Workforce Investment Act of 1998 

(WIA) to AEFLA as authorized by 

WIOA. The Secretary also clarified that, 

to provide for the transition from the 

performance accountability system for 

AEFLA under WIA to the performance 

accountability system for AEFLA as 

authorized by WIOA, the December 

2016 notice remains effective until June 

30, 2019. 

In addition to the tests identified in 

the December 2016 notice as determined 

to be suitable for use in the NRS through 

February 2, 2019, the Secretary now 

announces an additional test and test 

forms that have been determined to be 

suitable for use in the NRS, in 

accordance with § 462.13. This test 

measures the new NRS educational 

functioning levels for Literacy/English 

Language Arts and Mathematics at all 

Adult Basic Education (ABE) levels, as 

described in Appendix E of 

Implementation Guidelines: Measures 

and Methods for the National Reporting 

System for Adult Education (OMB 

Control Number: 1830–0027). 

Approved Tests, Forms, and Approved 

Periods 

Adult education programs must use 

only the approved forms and computerbased delivery formats for the tests 

published in this document. If a 

particular test form or computer 

delivery format is not explicitly 

specified for a test in the December 2016 

notice or in this notice, it is not 

approved for use in the NRS. 

Test Determined To Be Suitable for Use 

in the NRS for a Seven-Year Period 

From the Date of Publication of This 

Notice 

The Secretary has determined that the 

following test is suitable for use in 

Literacy/English Language Arts and 

Mathematics at all ABE levels of the 

NRS for a period of seven years from the 

date of publication of this notice: 

Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE 

11/12). Forms 11 and 12 are approved 

for use on paper and through a 

computer-based delivery format.

Revocation of Tests 

Under certain circumstances, the 

Secretary may revoke the determination 

that a test is suitable (see § 462.12(e)). If 

the Secretary revokes the determination 

of suitability, the Secretary announces 

through the Federal Register and posts 

on the internet at www.nrsweb.org a 

notice of that revocation, along with the 

date by which States and local eligible 

providers must stop using the revoked 

test.
