SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of 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: NPEFS 2015-2017: Common Core of Data (CCD) 
National Public Education Financial Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0067.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: SEAs.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 56.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 5,264.
    Abstract: The National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) is 
an annual collection of state-level finance data that has been included 
in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) since FY 1982 (school year 1981-
82). NPEFS provides function expenditures by salaries, benefits, 
purchased services, and supplies, and includes federal, state, and 
local revenues by source. The NPEFS collection includes data on all

state-run schools from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, 
American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and 
the Virgin Islands. NPEFS data are used for a wide variety of purposes, 
including to calculate federal program allocations such as states' 
``average per-pupil expenditure'' (SPPE) for elementary and secondary 
education, certain formula grant programs (e.g. Title I, Part A of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as amended, 
Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs). Furthermore, other federal 
programs, such as the Educational Technology State Grants program 
(Title II Part D of the ESEA), the Education for Homeless Children and 
Youth Program under Title VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance 
Act, and the Teacher Quality State Grants program (Title II Part A of 
the ESEA) make use of SPPE data indirectly because their formulas are 
based, in whole or in part, on State Title I Part A allocations. This 
submission is to conduct the annual collection of state-level finance 
data for FY 2015-2017.
