Title of Collection: National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2025 LongTerm Trend (LTT) Revision
OMB Control Number: 1850-0928
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents / Affected Public: Individuals and Households
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 61,360
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 21,536
Abstract: 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. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses
two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot
assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special
studies (including the National Indian Education Study (NIES), the Middle School
Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are
opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without
impacting the reporting of the NAEP results.
This Amendment to the NAEP 2025 Long-Term Trend Clearance package updates
several documents since the approval of the primary package for NAEP 2025 LTT
(OMB# 1850-0928 v.32) in April 2024: 1) updated committee members in Appendix A,
2) updated sampling design memo in Appendix C, 3) final communication materials in
Appendix D, 4) updated Assessment Management Screens (AMS) in Appendix F1, and
5) small updates to Parts A and B. These changes required no changes to approved
respondent burden but does require a small increase in the cost to the Federal
Government.
