Abstract: The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is a nationally representative, longitudinal study of more than 20,000 ninth graders in 944 schools, who will be followed through their secondary and postsecondary years. The study focuses on understanding students’ trajectories from the beginning of high school into university or the workforce and beyond and will provide data on how students navigate the transition between high school and the postsecondary world; and what courses, majors, first job, and careers students decide to pursue when, why, and how, especially, but not solely, in regards to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses, majors, and careers. This study includes a new student assessment in algebraic skills, reasoning, and problem solving and surveys students, their parents, teachers, school administrators, and school counselors. This submission is a request for clearance for a 2011 field test and a 60-day Federal Register notice waver for the 2012 full scale HSLS:09 First Follow-up data collection.

Short Statement: The decrease in the burden for this collection is due to the fact that the last OMB approval included the base year main study data collection, while this request instead includes data collection for the HSLS:09 first follow-up field test. (Note: the increase in the IC burden is due to consolidated several instruments in one IC; the burden overall is a decrease as described in the above paragraph).
