OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 03/31/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/11/1998
Terms of Clearance: Approved consistent with ED's memo to OMB of 3/20/98. In addition, ED agrees that this approval extends only to the field test and that in order to implement the full scale test ED shall submit a separate approval request under the Paperwork Act. Further, OMB notes that following the release of TIMSS results, different activities are undertaken to address any deficiencies in student achievement identified in TIMSS results. Therefore, prior to submitting an approval request for the full scale TIMSS-R, ED will look into the feasibility of developing a plan for tracking activities between future iterations of the TIMSS in order to better assess the effect of those activties/ initiatives on student achievement on the TIMSS.
