of its information collection requirements and minimize the public'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

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: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    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

[[Page 51250]]

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.
