SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

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: High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 
(HSLS:09) Second Follow-up Main Study and 2018 Panel Maintenance.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0852.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 32,107.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 24,904.
    Abstract: The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is a 
nationally representative, longitudinal study of more than 20,000 9th 
graders in 944 schools in 2009 who are being followed through their 
secondary and postsecondary years. The study focuses on understanding 
students' trajectories from the beginning of high school into 
postsecondary education or the workforce and beyond. What students 
decide to pursue when, why, and how are crucial questions for HSLS:09, 
especially, but not solely, in regards to science, technology, 
engineering, and math (STEM) courses, majors, and careers. To date, 
HSLS:09 measured math achievement gains in the first 3 years of high 
school and, like past studies, surveyed students, their parents, school 
administrators, school counselors, and teachers. After the initial 2009 
data collection, the main study students were re-surveyed in 2012 when 
most were high school 11th-graders, and again in 2013 when most had 
just graduated from high school. The second follow-up data collection 
will take place in early 2016, and will consist of a survey, 
postsecondary transcript collection, financial aid records collection, 
and file matching to extant data sources. The second follow-up focuses 
on postsecondary attendance patterns, field of study selection 
processes with particular emphasis on STEM, the postsecondary academic 
and social experience, education financing, employment history 
including instances of unemployment and underemployment, job 
characteristics including income and benefits, job values, family 
formation, and civic engagement. The HSLS:09 data elements are designed 
to support research that speaks to the underlying dynamics and 
education processes that influence student achievement, growth, and 
personal development over time. This request is to conduct the HSLS:09 
Second Follow-up Main Study interviews in 2016, the transcript and 
student financial aid records collections in 2017, and panel 
maintenance activities in 2018.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
