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 (Public Law 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 update to the NAEP 2020 plan, consisting of
final version of the Long Term Trend (LTT) assessment to be conducted during the 2019-20 school year, approved in
August 2019 (OMB# 1850-0928 v.10-17). NAEP 2019 data collection has been concluded. This request notifies OMB of
changes needed to the approved package. While we originally planned to conduct the MSTS activities after the 2019
NAEP administration, due to budgetary constraints for the NAEP program, NCES concluded that the MSTS would not
be conducted. Due to this change, no middle school incurred any burden associated with participating in the 2019
MSTS, which reduces the estimated burden calculation by 324 hours over a two-year period, or an average of 162
hours per year.
