processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Trend (LTT) Update Emergency
Clearance.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0928.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 642,087.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 322,765.
Abstract: The National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP),
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), is a
federally authorized survey of student
achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in
various subject areas, such as
mathematics, reading, writing, science,
U.S. history, civics, geography,
economics, technology and engineering
literacy (TEL), and the arts. The
National Assessment of Educational
Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L.
107–279 Title III, section 303) requires
the assessment to collect data on
specified student groups and
characteristics, including information
organized by race/ethnicity, gender,
socio-economic status, disability, and
limited English proficiency. It requires
fair and accurate presentation of
achievement data and permits the
collection of background, noncognitive,
or descriptive information that is related
to academic achievement and aids in
fair reporting of results. The intent of
the law is to provide representative
sample data on student achievement for
the nation, the states, and
subpopulations of students and to
monitor progress over time. The nature
of NAEP is that burden alternates from
a relatively low burden in national-level
administration years to a substantial
burden increase in state-level
administration years when the sample
has to allow for estimates for individual
states and some of the large urban
districts. The request to conduct NAEP
2019 and 2020 was approved in
September 2018 with the latest change
request approved in February 2019
(OMB# 1850–0928 v.10–13). NAEP 2019
is currently underway. This request is to
update the approved NAEP 2020 plan
with: (1) The cancellation of all of the
NAEP pilot and special studies
originally planned for the 2019–20
school year (NAEP 2020), and (2) based
on a Congressional request, the
administration of Long Term Trend
(LTT) assessment during the 2019–20
school year. The LTT assessments are
based on nationally representative
samples of 9-, 13-, and 17-year olds, and
have been used by NAEP since the early
1970s to provide measures of students’
educational progress over long time

periods to allow for analyses of national
trends in students’ performance in
mathematics and reading.
Additional Information: In order to be
able to comply with the Congressional
request to conduct LTT during the
2019–20 school year and to meet the
study’s timeline while maintaining
compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), due to this
unanticipated event, the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) and
NCES are requesting under 44 U.S.C.
3507(j)(1) (‘‘emergency clearance’’) to
begin participant recruitment and study
materials printing for LTT 2020 by May
2019. Therefore, NCES is submitting
this Information Collection Request
(ICR) to OMB utilizing emergency
review procedures in accordance with
the PRA (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35) and 5 CFR 1320.13 to
announce revisions to the NAEP 2020
study plans and to provide for review
the LTT 2020 plans, procedures, and
materials. NCES is simultaneously
initiating a regular clearance process for
this request, including a 60-day
followed by a 30-day public comment
periods.
NCES requests that any comments on
the plans, procedures, and materials
proposed in this ICR will be submitted
via Regulations.gov by April 16, 2019,
as part of the public comment period
affiliated with this emergency clearance.
This will allow NCES to timely consider
and address all comments related to this
submission, so that upon approval of
the ICR by OMB in April 2019, NCES
can begin all participant recruitment
activities and printing of study materials
necessary to conduct LTT 2020.
