    Title of Collection: Private School Universe Survey (PSS) June 
2016-May 2019.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0641.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 48,400.

    Abstract: The Private School Universe Survey (PSS) is conducted by 
the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to collect basic 
information from the universe of private elementary and secondary 
schools in the United States. The PSS is designed to gather biennial 
data on the total number of private schools, teachers, and students, 
along with a variety of related data, including: Religious orientation; 
grade-levels taught and size of school; length of school year and of 
school day; total student enrollment by gender (K-12); number of high 
school graduates; whether a school is single-sexed or coeducational; 
number of teachers employed; program emphasis; and existence and type 
of its kindergarten program. The PSS includes all schools that are not 
supported primarily by public funds, that provide classroom instruction 
for one or more of grades K-12 or comparable ungraded levels, and that 
have one or more teachers. No substantive changes have been made to the 
survey or its procedures since its last approved administration (OMB# 
1850-0641 v.6-7). The PSS is also used to create a universe list of 
private schools for use as a sampling frame for NCES surveys of private 
schools. This request is to conduct the 2017-18 Private School Universe 
Survey (PSS) data collection and the 2017-18 and 2019-20 PSS frame-
development activities.
