Abstract: This ICR is for Wave 5 data collection for the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2). NLTS2 began in 2000 with a sample of approximately 12,000 youth who were 13 through 16 years old and receiving special education services. Wave 5 data collection will take place in the 9th year of the project and will consist of parent and youth interviews conducted by phone or mail. This will be the last round of data collection for NLTS2 and will focus primarily on early adulthood, including postsecondary education, employment, and community adjustment.

Short Statement: The original submission requested clearance for NLTS2 wave 1 data collection activities. The two subsequent submissions addressed burden for waves 2, 3 and 4. These prior submissions included burden for school-level data collection activities. This submission addresses the burden for the parent and young adult data collection activities in wave 5. The burden is smaller for this package than for prior submissions because it does not include school data collection instruments.
