Notice of Proposed Collection Requests; Comment Request; Program 
for International Student Assessment (PISA 2015) Recruitment and Field 
Test

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Correction notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On 4/16/2013, a 60-day notice was published in the Federal 
Register (volume 78 FR, page 22530) for the Program for International 
Student Assessments (PISA 2015) Recruitment and Field Test, 1850-0755. 
Since that time, the PISA has been amended. It reflects a change in the 
field test design and burden. In addition to science, reading, 
mathematics, and collaborative problem solving, the field test will 
include an assessment of students' financial literacy. From the sample 
of students that take the science, mathematics, reading, and 
collaborative problem solving assessments, 585 students (15 per school) 
will be subsampled to return for a second assessment session to take 
financial literacy. Students taking financial literacy will take an 
additional 5 minutes of background questions. This change in the design 
increases the total field test student burden estimate by 42 hours. 
Consistent with the science, reading, and mathematics domains, the 
field test includes a mode effect study to examine the impact of 
transitioning from a paper-based to a computer-based financial literacy 
assessment. Schools and student response rates and other information 
from the field test will be evaluated to determine whether the 
financial literacy assessment should be administered in the main study. 
The revised documents have been posted to regulations.gov under Docket 
Number ED-2013-ICCD-0053. The 60-day period ends June 17, 2013.
    The Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Privacy, 
Information and Records Management Services, Office of Management, 
hereby issues a correction notice as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995.

    Dated: May 22, 2013.
