The National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) is an annual collection of state-level finance data that
has been included in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) since FY 1982 (school year 1981-82). NPEFS
provides function expenditures by salaries, benefits, purchased services, and supplies, and includes federal, state,
and local revenues by source. The NPEFS collection includes data on all state-run schools from the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
NPEFS data are used for a wide variety of purposes, including to calculate federal program allocations such as
states’ “average per-pupil expenditure” (SPPE) for elementary and secondary education, certain formula grant
programs (e.g. Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as amended,
Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs). Furthermore, other federal programs, such as the Educational
Technology State Grants program (Title II Part D of the ESEA), the Education for Homeless Children and Youth
Program under Title VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and the Teacher Quality State Grants
program (Title II Part A of the ESEA) make use of SPPE data indirectly because their formulas are based, in
whole or in part, on State Title I Part A allocations. NCES’s request to conduct the annual collection of state-level
finance data for FY 2015-2017 was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in October 2015
(OMB# 1850-0067 v.12) and this submission provides a revised text of the Federal Register Notice to be
published in January, 2016, for the FY 2015 NPEFS collection and revisions to prior fiscal year reports. Within the
U.S. Department of Education, this notice has been cleared by all relevant U.S. Department of Education offices,
including: OS, OGC-DRS, OUS, OPEPD, Budget, OM, PIRMSA, OCFO, OIG, OELA, and OSERS.
