Abstract: The National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) Quick 

Response Information System (QRIS) 

consists of the Fast Response Survey 

System (FRSS) and the Postsecondary 

Education Quick Information System 

(PEQIS). The QRIS currently conducts 

surveys under OMB generic clearance 

1850–0733, which expires in February 

2018. This submission requests 

approval to continue the current 

clearance conditions through the end of 

2020. FRSS primarily conducts surveys 

of the elementary/secondary sector 

(districts, schools) and public libraries. 

PEQIS conducts surveys of the 

postsecondary education sector. FRSS 

and PEQIS surveys are cleared under 

the QRIS generic clearance. The QRIS 

clearance is subject to the regular 

clearance process at OMB with a 60-day 

notice and a 30-day notice as part of the 

120-day review period. Each individual 

FRSS or PEQIS survey is then subject to 

clearance process with an abbreviated 

clearance package, justifying the 

particular content of the survey, 

describing the sample design, the 

timeline for the survey activities, and 

the questionnaire. The review period for 

each individual survey is 45 days, 

including a 30-day Federal Register 

notice period. OMB will provide 

comments as soon after the end of the 

30-day notice period as possible. This 

generic clearance request is for surveys 

of state education agencies, school 

districts, schools, postsecondary 

institutions, and libraries.
