National Reporting System for Adult Education (NRS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 14, 2008, we published in the 
Federal Register final regulations for 34 CFR part 462, Measuring 
Educational Gain in the National Reporting System for Adult Education 
(NRS regulations) (73 FR 2306). The NRS regulations established the 
process the Secretary uses to determine the suitability of tests for 
use in the NRS by States and local eligible providers. We annually 
publish in the Federal Register, and post on the internet at 
www.nrsweb.org, a list of the names of tests and the educational 
functioning levels the tests are suitable to measure in the NRS as 
required by Sec.  462.12(c)(2).
    On December 13, 2016, the Secretary published in the Federal 
Register (81 FR 89920) an annual notice of tests determined to be 
suitable for use in the NRS (December 2016 notice). In the December 
2016 notice, the Secretary extended the approved periods for all 12 of 
the tests listed in the notice through February 2, 2019.
    On September 7, 2017, the Secretary published in the Federal 
Register (82 FR 42339) an annual notice of tests determined to be 
suitable for use in the NRS (September 2017 notice). In the September 
2017 notice, the Secretary announced a new test and test forms that 
were determined to be suitable for use in the NRS, in accordance with 
Sec.  462.13.
    On February 5, 2018, the Secretary published in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 5087) an annual notice of tests determined to be 
suitable for use in the NRS (February 2018 notice). In the February 
2018 notice, the Secretary announced a new test and test forms that 
were determined to be suitable for use in the NRS, in accordance with 
Sec.  462.13.
    In this notice, the Secretary announces a list of English as a 
Second Language (ESL) tests and test forms determined to be suitable 
for use in the NRS. In the December 2016 notice, these ESL tests and 
test forms were approved for an extended period through February 2, 
2019. Through this notice these ESL tests and test forms are approved 
for an additional period through February 2, 2021.
    The Secretary is taking this action with respect to the previously 
approved ESL tests and test forms, in light of the following factors: 
(1) The Department's plan to implement new ESL descriptors for the NRS 
educational functioning levels, which will be necessary for the 
assessment review process concerning any ESL tests newly submitted for 
review as to suitability for use in the NRS; and (2) the Department's 
desire to minimize disruption for its grantees in the transition to the 
Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) as authorized by the 
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), including with respect 
to measuring educational gain under the NRS; and (3) the attendant 
transition authority in section 503(c) of WIOA, which authorizes the 
Secretary of Education to ``take such actions as the Secretary 
determines to be appropriate to provide for the orderly transition'' 
from AEFLA as authorized by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to 
AEFLA as authorized by WIOA.
    Under the transition rules in Sec.  462.4, the Secretary also 
announces in this notice a list of tests with NRS approvals expiring on 
February 2, 2019, which States and local providers may continue to use 
during a sunset period ending on June 30, 2019.
    Adult education programs must use only the approved forms and 
computer-based delivery formats for the tests published in this 
document. If a particular test form or computer delivery format is not 
explicitly specified for a test in this notice, it is not approved for 
use in the NRS.

Expiring Tests

    The sunset period for an expiring test allows a State and local 
provider to transition to other tests suitable for use in the NRS. The 
State and local provider may use the transition period to select new 
tests, purchase appropriate inventories of assessment materials, and 
provide training to staff.

Revocation of Tests

    Under certain circumstances, the Secretary may revoke the 
determination that a test is suitable (see Sec.  462.12(e)). If the 
Secretary revokes the determination of suitability, the Secretary 
announces through the Federal Register and posts on the internet at 
www.nrsweb.org a notice of that revocation, along with the date by 
which States and local eligible providers must stop using the revoked 
test.
