[[Page 55347]]

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: Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, 
Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011) Spring Fifth-Grade National 
Data Collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0750.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 99,576.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 36,108.
    Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten 
Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011), conducted by the National Center for 
Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences 
(IES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), is a survey that 
focuses on children's early school experiences beginning with 
kindergarten and continuing through the fifth grade. It includes the 
collection of data from parents, teachers, school administrators, and 
nonparental care providers, as well as direct child assessments. Like 
its sister study, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten 
Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K), the ECLS-K:2011 is exceptionally broad in 
its scope and coverage of child development, early learning, and school 
progress, drawing together information from multiple sources to provide 
rich data about the population of children who were kindergartners in 
the 2010-11 school year. This submission requests OMB's clearance for 
the spring 2016 fifth-grade data collection, which will be the last 
data collection for the study.
