    Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten 
Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011) is a survey that focuses on children's 
early school experiences beginning with kindergarten and continuing 
through the fifth grade. It includes interviews with parents, teachers, 
school administrators, and non-parental care providers, as well as 
direct child assessments. This submission updates the field test 
submission of fiscal year 2009 (OMB 1850-0750 v.5), summarizes 
the field test results, and includes the final instruments to be used 
for the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 kindergarten national data 
collection, with collection activities scheduled to begin in Summer 
2010. This package also outlines and seeks a 60-day federal register 
notice waiver for the upcoming OMB clearance submission for (1) a 
possible addition of vision and hearing screenings to the kindergarten 
data collection and (2) the Fall 2011 first grade recruitment and data 
collection, Spring 2012 first grade recruitment materials and 
recruitment burden, and for tracking students for the first and second 
grade data collections--all of which are expected to have only minor 
changes to the materials, instruments, and processes already approved 
in the field test package (OMB 1850-0750 v.5).
