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: Common Core of Data (CCD) School-Level Finance 
Survey (SLFS) 2016-2018.
    OMB Control Number: 1850--NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 306.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,938.
    Abstract: In response to a growing demand, the National Center for 
Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education, 
has developed and conducted a pilot, in 2015 and 2016 (OMB #1850-0803), 
of a new collection of finance data at the school level. The School-
Level Finance Survey (SLFS) centrally collects school-level finance 
data form state education agencies (SEAs), and is an extension of two 
existing collections conducted by NCES, in collaboration with the U.S. 
Census Bureau, the School District Finance Survey (F-33) and the state-
level National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS). The Every 
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) signed into law on December 10, 2015, 
requires SEAs and local agencies to produce report cards for the 2017-
18 school year that include per-pupil actual personnel and nonpersonnel 
expenditures of Federal, State, and local funds, disaggregated by 
source of funds, for each local educational agency (LEA) and each 
school in the State for the preceding fiscal year. SLFS collects 30 
expenditure items, 12 of which are ``personnel'' and 18 
``nonpersonnel'' expenditures. The SLFS data items and definitions are 
consistent with those in the NPEFS and F-33 surveys. The first year of 
the pilot SLFS data collection (for fiscal year FY 2014) commenced on 
May 7, 2015, with 12 SEAs participating, and the second year of data 
collection (for FY 2015) commenced on April 4, 2016, with 19 SEAs 
participating. This request is to
