The Census Bureau seeks to renew clearance for “the School Enrollment Supplement to be conducted in conjunction with the October Current Population Survey (CPS). The Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sponsor the basic annual school enrollment questions, which have been collected annually in the CPS for over 50 years. The current clearance expires June 30, 2025.”
The School Enrollment Survey “provides information on public/private elementary school, secondary school, and college enrollment, and on characteristics of private school students and their families, which is used for tracking historical trends, policy planning, and support.”
The Bureau asks for comments to:
- “Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is necessary for the proper functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility”;
- “Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the time and cost burden for this proposed collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used”;
- “Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected”; and
- “Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.”
Comments are due by February 24, 2025.
