students, and educators were
responding to the ongoing stressors of

the coronavirus pandemic. The School
Pulse Panel is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES), part of the Institute of
Education Sciences (IES), within the
United States Department of Education.
Initially, the purpose of the study was
to collect extensive data on issues
brought to light by the COVID–19
pandemic, as well as other important
education-related issues that could
inform data-driven policy decisions, in
U.S. public schools. Due to the
immediate need to collect pandemic-era
information from schools as described
in Executive Order 14000, an emergency
clearance was issued to develop and
field the first several monthly
collections of the SPP in 2021 and a full
review of the SPP data collection was
performed in 2022 (OMB# 1850–0969).
SPPs innovative design and timely
dissemination of findings have been
used and cited frequently among
Department of Education senior
leadership, the White House Domestic
Policy Council, the USDAs Food and
Nutrition Service, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
Congressional deliberations, and the
media. The growing interest from
stakeholders resulted in a request for
funding to create an established NCES
quick-turnaround data collection
vehicle to become a mainstay for NCES.
Funding for a mainstay collection was
approved in late 2022, and NCES
conducted a new collection during the
2023–24 school year (OMB# 1850–
0975).
The School Pulse Panel study is one
of the few reliable, nationally
representative, quick-turnaround
studies that produces data on U.S.
public schools. The sample design for
the 2025–26 collection will roughly be
the same as the 2024–25 collection with
4,000 public schools randomly selected
to an initial sample and 4,000 in a
reserve sample. It is expected these
schools will come from roughly 3,000
districts. The goal is national
representation from about 1,200
responding schools each month in order
to report out national estimates. School
staff will be asked to provide requested
data monthly during the 2025–26 school
year. This approach provides the ability
to collect detailed information on
various topics while also assessing
changes over time for items that are
repeated from year to year. Given the
demand for data collection, the content
of the survey is expected to change
monthly. For the 2025–26 school year,
the survey may ask school staff about a
wide range of topics, including but not
limited to staffing; learning recovery;

absenteeism; usage of federal funds; and
overall principal experiences.
This package includes preliminary
activities, including contacting and
obtaining research approvals from
public school districts with an
established research approval process
(special contact districts) where
applicable; notifying sampled schools
and districts of their selection for the
survey; and inviting them to complete a
short Screener Survey to establish
points of contact. In spring of 2025, a
clearance for main study data collection
activities that will include instruments
for the first quarter of collections will be
submitted for 60-day and 30-day public
comment. Subsequent quarterly content
submissions will be submitted for 30day public comment.
This request is to conduct the SPP
2025–26 preliminary activities.
Substantial edits and additional
materials may be added to this package
after the 60-day public comment period
is complete, in time for the subsequent
30-day public comment period that will
begin Fall 2024. Materials for SPP are
cleared under two OMB Number
sequences. Materials for SPP 2022 and
SPP 2024–25 were cleared under OMB#
1850–0969, while SPP 2023–24 and
now SPP 2025–26 are cleared under
OMB# 1850–0975.

Driftwood Pipeline, LLC; Notice of
Request for Extension of Time
Take notice that on November 13,
2024, Driftwood Pipeline, LLC
(Driftwood Pipeline) requested that the
Commission grant an extension of time,
until October 21, 2027, to construct and
place into service its Line 200 and Line
300 Project (Project), located in
Beauregard and Calcasieu Parishes,
Louisiana, as authorized in the April 21,
2023 Order Issuing Certificate (Order).1
The Order required Driftwood Pipeline
to complete construction of the Project
and make it available for service within
two years of the date of the Order, or by
April 21, 2025.
Driftwood Pipeline states that it has
experienced delays resulting from
unforeseen circumstances, including
litigation delays from an appeal of the
Certificate Order in the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit and uncertainty
associated with impending changes in
company leadership and other
personnel related to a change in
ownership of Driftwood Pipeline’s
parent company. Driftwood Pipeline
states that these issues further
complicated efforts to reach a final
investment decision, and thus
additional time is required for
completing construction of the Project
and placing it into service.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar
day intervention and comment period
deadline. Any person wishing to
comment on Driftwood Pipeline’s
request for an extension of time may do
so. No reply comments or answers will
be considered. If you wish to obtain
legal status by becoming a party to the
proceedings for this request, you
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file a motion to intervene
in accordance with the requirements of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.10).
