    Title of Collection: 2015-16 National Teacher and Principal Survey 
(NTPS) Full-Scale Data Collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0598.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 50, 028.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 26, 235.
    Abstract: The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) is a 
redesign of the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and is ED's primary 
source of information on the teacher and principal labor market and on 
what is happening in K-12 public schools from teachers' and principals' 
perspectives. NTPS is an in-depth, nationally representative survey of 
first through twelfth grade public school teachers, principals, and 
schools. Kindergarten teachers in schools with at least a first grade 
are also eligible for NTPS. Starting in 2015-2016, the NTPS will be 
conducted every two years utilizing core content and a series of 
rotating modules to allow timely collection of important education 
trends and conducting trend analyses. The NTPS is the Department's 
regular source of data on salaries, out-of-pocket expenses, 
qualifications, and race/ethnic and age distribution of teachers; along 
with salaries and race/ethnic and age distribution of principals; and 
school start times and student teacher ratios. This request is to 
conduct the 2015-16 NTPS full-scale data collection.

    Dated: April 29, 2015.
