students, along with a variety of related
data, including: religious orientation;

employed; program emphasis; and
existence and type of its kindergarten
program. The PSS includes all schools
that are not supported primarily by
public funds, that provide classroom
instruction for one or more of grades K–
12 or comparable ungraded levels, and
that have one or more teachers. The PSS
is also used to create a universe list of
private schools that can be used as a
sampling frame for NCES surveys of
private schools. No substantive changes
have been made to the survey or its
procedures since its last approved PSS
2010–13. This clearance is for the 2013–
14 and 2015–16 PSS data collections,
and the 2015–16 PSS list- and areaframe building operations.

Abstract: The U.S. Department of

regulations.
This expedited collection is a direct
result of a statutory change included in
Section 563 of the National Defense
