Education Quick Information System (PEQIS) 18: Dual Enrollment of High 
School Students at Postsecondary Institutions: 2010-11.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0733.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
    Frequency of Responses: Once.

    Abstract: The Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) and the 
Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS) collect issue-
oriented data quickly and with minimum response burden outside of 
National Center of Education Statistics' (NCES') large recurring 
surveys. Both systems were designed to collect and report data on key 
education issues at the elementary and secondary levels, and to meet 
the data needs of Department of Education analysts, planners, and 
decision-makers when information cannot be collected quickly through 
NCES' large recurring surveys. The purpose of the forthcoming two 
complementary FRSS and PEQIS surveys is to collect data about dual 
credit and dual enrollment programs offered to high school students. 
The FRSS 104 survey will provide nationally representative data on 
prevalence and enrollment of dual credit and exam-based courses in 
public high schools, while the PEQIS 18 will provide nationally 
representative data on the prevalence of college course-taking by high 
school students both within and outside of dual enrollment programs 
offered by postsecondary institutions. This is the second iteration of 
both surveys, previously conducted in school year 2002-03. This request 
is for clearance of the FRSS 104 and PEQIS 18 questionnaires and full 
scale data collection.
