reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's

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: Quick Response Information System (QRIS) 2017-
2020 System Clearance.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0733.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 104,004.

    Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Quick 
Response Information System (QRIS) consists of the Fast Response Survey 
System (FRSS) and the Postsecondary Education Quick Information System 
(PEQIS). The QRIS currently conducts surveys under OMB generic 
clearance 1850-0733, which expires in February 2018. This submission 
requests approval to continue the current clearance conditions through 
the end of 2020. FRSS primarily conducts surveys of the elementary/
secondary sector (districts, schools) and public libraries. PEQIS 
conducts surveys of the postsecondary education sector. FRSS and PEQIS 
surveys are cleared under the QRIS generic clearance. The QRIS 
clearance is subject to the regular clearance process at OMB with a 60-
day notice and a 30-day notice as part of the 120-day review period. 
Each individual FRSS or PEQIS survey is then subject to clearance 
process with an abbreviated clearance package, justifying the 
particular content of the survey, describing the sample design, the 
timeline for the survey activities, and the questionnaire. The review 
period for each individual survey is 45 days, including a 30-day 
Federal Register notice period. OMB will provide comments as soon after 
the end of the 30-day notice period as possible. This generic clearance 
request is for surveys of state education agencies, school districts, 
schools, postsecondary institutions, and libraries.
