ACTION
: Notice; correction.
SUMMARY
: On March 8, 2021, the
Department of Education (Department)
published in the Federal Register a
notice announcing the reestablishment
of a matching program between the
Department and the Social Security
Administration (SSA) to assist the
Department in its obligation to ensure
that applicants for student financial
assistance under title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended,
satisfy eligibility requirements. This
notice corrects language in that notice
by removing references to an SSA-
restricted data field, date of death, and
by more closely mirroring the
description of the purpose in the
computer matching agreement. All other
information in the March 8, 2021
Federal Register notice, remains the
same.
DATES
: This correction is applicable on
March 26, 2021.

Title of Collection: Trends in

Sampling and Recruitment.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0695.

Abstract: The Trends in International
Mathematics and Science Study
(TIMSS), conducted by the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES),
within the U.S. Department of
Education (ED), is an international
assessment of fourth and eighth grade
students’ achievement in mathematics
and science. Since its inception in 1995,
TIMSS has continued to assess students
every 4 years (1995, 1999, 2003, 2007,
2011, 2015, and 2019), with the next
TIMSS assessment, TIMSS 2023, being
the eighth iteration of the study. In
TIMSS 2023, approximately 65
countries or education systems will
participate. The United States will
participate in TIMSS 2023 to continue
to monitor the progress of its students
compared to that of other nations and to
provide data on factors that may
influence student achievement.
TIMSS is led by the International
Association for the Evaluation of
Educational Achievement (IEA), an
international collective of research
organizations and government agencies
that create the frameworks used to
develop the assessment, the survey
instruments, and the study timeline.
IEA decides and agrees upon a common
set of standards, procedures, and
timelines for collecting and reporting
data, all of which must be followed by
all participating countries. As a result,
TIMSS is able to provide a reliable and
comparable measure of student skills in
participating countries. In the U.S.,
NCES conducts this study in
collaboration with the IEA and a
number of contractors to ensure proper
implementation of the study and
adoption of practices in adherence to
the IEA’s standards. Participation in
TIMSS is consistent with NCES’s
mandate of acquiring and disseminating
data on educational activities and
student achievement in the United
States compared with foreign nations
