10890 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 39 / Monday, February 28, 2011 / Notices 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. The OMB is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: (1) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) Evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) Minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

Abstract: The Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 

amended, provides funds to districts to 

improve the quality of their teaching 

and principal force and raise student 

achievement. These funds are provided 

to districts through Title II, Part A 

(Improving Teacher Quality State 

Grants—Subgrants to LEAs). The 

purpose of this survey is for the U.S. 

Department of Education to have a 

better understanding of how districts 

use these funds. The survey also collects 

information on high-quality professional 

development in LEAs. In addition to the 

LEA survey, the package also includes 

a short survey for State Educational 

Agencies (SEA) that provides 

information on fiscal year allocations of 

Title II, Part A funds made to the LEAs 

selected for participation in the LEA 

survey. This Office of Management and 

Budget clearance request is to continue 

these analyses using a similar data 

collection instrument and sampling 

plan for the 2011–2012 school year and 

subsequent years. Minor changes to the 

LEA survey are requested. No changes 

to the SEA survey are required.

Any person desiring to intervene or to 

protest in any of the above proceedings 

must file in accordance with Rules 211 

and 214 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 

and 385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern 

time on the specified comment date. It 

is not necessary to separately intervene 

again in a subdocket related to a 

compliance filing if you have previously 

intervened in the same docket. Protests 

will be considered by the Commission 

in determining the appropriate action to 

be taken, but will not serve to make 

protestants parties to the proceeding. 

Anyone filing a motion to intervene or 

protest must serve a copy of that 

document on the Applicant. In reference 

to filings initiating a new proceeding, 

interventions or protests submitted on 

or before the comment deadline need 

not be served on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

As it relates to any qualifying facility 

filings, the notices of self-certification 

[or self-recertification] listed above, do 

not institute a proceeding regarding 

qualifying facility status. A notice of 

self-certification [or self-recertification] 

simply provides notification that the 

entity making the filing has determined 

the facility named in the notice meets 

the applicable criteria to be a qualifying 

facility. Intervention and/or protest do 

not lie in dockets that are qualifying 

facility self-certifications or selfrecertifications. Any person seeking to 

challenge such qualifying facility status 

may do so by filing a motion pursuant 

to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii). Intervention 

and protests may be filed in response to 

notices of qualifying facility dockets 

other than self-certifications and selfrecertifications.

Multi-stressor Vulnerability 

Assessments’’ (EPA/600/R–11/011) and 

a 45-day public comment period for the 

report. The document was prepared by 

the National Center for Environmental 

Assessment within EPA’s Office of 

Research and Development. 

This draft report investigates the 

issues and challenges associated with 

identifying, calculating, and mapping 

indicators of the relative vulnerability of 

water quality and aquatic ecosystems, 

across the United States, to the potential 

impacts of global change. Using a large 

set of environmental indicators drawn 

from the scientific and management 

literature, this draft report explores the 

conceptual and practical challenges 

associated with using such indicators to 

assess how the resilience of ecosystems 

and human systems may vary as a 

function of existing stresses and 

maladaptations. 

The public comment period and the 

external peer review are separate 

processes that provide opportunities for 

all interested parties to comment on the 

document. EPA intends to forward the 

public comments that are submitted in 

accordance with this notice to the 

external peer reviewers for their 

consideration prior to the finalization of 

their review comments. When finalizing 

the draft document, EPA intends to 

consider any public comments that EPA 

receives in accordance with this notice. 

EPA is releasing this draft document 

solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This document has not been 

formally disseminated by EPA. It does 

not represent and should not be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/ 

Document 

This draft report investigates the 

issues and challenges associated with 

identifying, calculating, and mapping 

indicators of the relative vulnerability of 

water quality and aquatic ecosystems, 

across the United States, to the potential 

adverse impacts of external forces such 

as long-term climate and land-use 

change. The draft does not directly 

evaluate the potential impacts of global 

change on ecosystems and watersheds. 

Rather, it explores the implications of 

the assumption that a systematic 

evaluation of the impacts of existing 

stressors will be a key input to any 

comprehensive global change 

vulnerability assessment, as the impacts 

of global change will be expressed via 

(perhaps complex) interactions with 

such stressors. This is an assumption 

with an impressive pedigree, but, to 

date, there has been relatively little 

exploration of the practical challenges 

associated with assessing how the 

resilience of ecosystems and human 

systems in the face of global change may 

vary as a function of existing stresses 

and maladaptations. The work 

described in this draft report is a 

preliminary attempt at such an 

exploration. 

This draft report takes as its starting 

point more than 600 indicators of water 

quality and aquatic ecosystem 

condition, along with numerous 

datasets from EPA, other Federal 

agencies, and other organizations, as a 

testbed for identifying challenges and 

best practices (as well as gaps in ideas, 

methods, data, and tools) for calculating 

and mapping vulnerability nationally. 

Specifically: 

• Challenges associated with 

identifying those indicators that speak 

specifically to ‘‘vulnerability’’ as 

opposed to those reflecting simply a 

state or condition; 

• Challenges associated with 

calculating and estimating the values of 

these vulnerability indicators, including 

establishing important indicator 

thresholds that reflect abrupt or large 

changes in the vulnerability of water 

quality or aquatic ecosystems; 

• Challenges associated with 

mapping these vulnerability indicators 

nationally, including data availability 

and spatial aggregation of the data; 

• Challenges associated with 

combining and compositing indicators 

and developing multi-indicator indices 

of vulnerability. 

This draft report is intended to be one 

building block for future work on multistressor global change vulnerability 

assessments. It is hoped that it will 

contribute to improved links between 

the decision support needs of the water 

quality and aquatic ecosystem 

management communities and the 

priorities and capabilities of the global
