B.4. Tests of Procedures and Methods

B.5. Reviewing Individuals


Many staff members in the U.S. Department of Education reviewed the package in whole or in part. Two groups received briefings about the OMB package changes: the EDFacts Governance Board (EDGB) and ED’s Data Strategy Team (DST). Those briefings occurred in October 2018. Stewarding offices are responsible for reviewing all data groups and reporting categories for data associated with a grant program. Stewards also met with program office attorneys to ensure legal sufficiency of the data reporting requirements. Non-steward members of EDGB and DST received briefings and had the opportunity for internal comment prior to submission of the package. NCES collected documentation from each data steward to confirm steward sign-off of the reporting requirements. NCES EDFacts Program Office Liaisons assisted in reviewing revisions to the package documentation. NCES staff in the Elementary and Secondary Branch were responsible for collating responses, advising stewards and non-stewards about the technical issues associated with new and revised requirements, providing data use information to data stewards prior to retirement of data elements, and accurately representing all data reporting requirements in the package.
