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. NAEP
consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT)
assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are
given at the national level only and are administered to students
at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that
used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and
reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. The
request to conduct NAEP 2021, including operational assessments and
pilot tests: operational national/state/TUDA Digitally Based
Assessments (DBA) in mathematics and reading at grades 4 and 8, and
Puerto Rico in mathematics at grades 4 and 8; and operational
national DBA in U.S. history and civics at grade 8 was approved in
April 2020, with further updates to the materials approved in July
and November 2020. Throughout 2020 NCES worked with its contractors
and with OMB to find the best way to plan for a data collection in
schools in 2021, and as the coronavirus pandemic progressed over
the course of the year, plans for NAEP 2020 data collection changed
multiple times. In November 2020, the NCES Commissioner announced
the delay of NAEP 2021 by one year to early 2022. Since then, NAEP
has continued to work to salvage any pieces of their data
collection plans for 2021 and begin planning for NAEP 2022. NCES
has used the drawn and notified sample from 2021 for two data
collections that don’t include the student assessment that is
central to the NAEP program, instead using that sample to collect
information about basic school operations during the coronavirus
pandemic (NAEP 2021 School Survey; OMB# 1850-0957) and the
experiences of teachers and school staff over the 2019-2020 and
2020-2021 school years (NAEP 2021 School and Teacher Questionnaire
Special Study; OMB# 1850-0956). The request to conduct NAEP
operational assessments in 2022, which will follow the traditional
NAEP design which assesses each student in 60-minutes for one
cognitive subject, was approved in May 2021, and the first and
second updates to the NAEP 2022 materials were approved in August
and October 2021. The 2022 data collection will consist of
operational national/state/TUDA DBA in mathematics and reading at
grades 4 and 8, and Puerto Rico in mathematics at grades 4 and 8;
and operational national DBA in U.S. history and civics at grade 8.
In November 2021, the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB)
decided that in addition to the previously approved administration
of LTT9 in Spring 2022, NAEP will also re-administer LTT Age 13 in
Fall 2022, which will assess 13-year-old students and also include
additional survey questionnaires to students and school
administrators related to the COVID-19 outbreak. This submission
contains all materials for the administration of the LTT Age 13 in
Fall 2022.

Pub.L. 107 - 279 303 Name of Law: National Assessment of
Educational Progress Authorization Act
This revision includes the
addition of a new study component; in addition to the previously
cleared LTT Age 9, NAEP now plans to also administer the LTT Age
13. This accounts for all additions in burden and government
cost.
