consent of the individual if the 

disclosure is compatible with the 

purposes for which the record was 

collected. These disclosures may be 

made on a case-by-case basis or, if the 

Department has complied with the 

computer matching requirements of the 

Privacy Act, under a computer matching 

agreement. Any disclosure of 

individually identifying information 

from a record in this system must also 

comply with the requirements of section 

183 of the ESRA (20 U.S.C. 9573) 

providing for confidentiality standards 

that apply to all collections, reporting, 

and publication of data by IES. 

Contract Disclosure. If the Department 

contracts with an entity for the purposes 

of performing any function that requires 

disclosure of records in this system to 

employees of the contractor, the 

Department may disclose the records to 

those employees. Before entering into 

such a contract, the Department shall 

require the contractor to maintain 

Privacy Act safeguards as required 

under 5 U.S.C. 552a(m) with respect to 

the records in the system. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

Not applicable to this system notice. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

The Department maintains records on 

CD–ROM, and the contractor 

(Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.) and 

sub-contractor (Decision Information 

Resources, Inc.) maintain data for this 

system on computers and in hard copy. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records in this system are indexed 

and retrieved by a number assigned to 

each individual that is cross-referenced 

by the individual’s name on a separate 

list. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All physical access to the 

Department’s site and to the sites of the 

Department’s contractor and 

subcontractor, where this system of 

records is maintained, is controlled and 

monitored by security personnel. The 

computer system employed by the 

Department offers a high degree of 

resistance to tampering and 

circumvention. This security system 

limits data access to Department and 

contract staff on a need-to-know basis, 

and controls individual users’ ability to 

access and alter records within the 

system. The contractor and 

subcontractor will establish a similar set 

of procedures at their sites to ensure 

confidentiality of data. The contractor 

and subcontractor are required to ensure 

that information identifying individuals 

is in files physically separated from 

other research data. The contractor and 

subcontractor will maintain security of 

the complete set of all master data files 

and documentation. Access to 

individually identifying data will be 

strictly controlled. All data will be kept 

in locked file cabinets during 

nonworking hours, and work on 

hardcopy data will take place in a single 

room, except for data entry. Physical 

security of electronic data will also be 

maintained. Security features that 

protect project data include: Passwordprotected accounts that authorize users 

to use the contractor’s and 

subcontractor’s systems but to access 

only specific network directories and 

network software; user rights and 

directory and file attributes that limit 

those who can use particular directories 

and files and determine how they can 

use them; and additional security 

features that the network administrators 

will establish for projects as needed. 

The contractor’s and subcontractor’s 

employees who ‘‘maintain’’ (collect, 

maintain, use, or disseminate) data in 

this system shall comply with the 

requirements of the confidentiality 

standards in section 183 of the ESRA 

(20 U.S.C. 9573). 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records are maintained and disposed 

of in accordance with the Department’s 

Records Disposition Schedules (ED/ 

RDS, Part 3, Item 2b and Part 3, Item 

5a). 

SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS: 

Acting Associate Commissioner, 

Evaluation Division, National Center for 

Education Evaluation and Regional 

Assistance, Institute of Education 

Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, 

555 New Jersey Avenue, NW., room 

502D, Washington, DC 20208.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–603 ‘‘Critical 

Energy Infrastructure Information’’ 

(OMB No. 1902–0197) is used by the 

Commission to implement procedures 

for gaining access to critical energy 

infrastructure information (CEII) that 

would not otherwise be available under 

the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 

552). On February, 21, 2003, the 

Commission issued Order No. 630 (66 

FR 52917) to address the appropriate 

treatment of CEII in the aftermath of the 

September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and 

to restrict unrestrained general access 

due to the ongoing terrorism threat. 

These steps enable the Commission to 

keep sensitive infrastructure 

information out of the public domain, 

decreasing the likelihood that such 

information could be used to plan or 

execute terrorist attacks. The process 

adopted in Order No. 630 is a more 

efficient alternative for handling 

requests for previously public 

documents than FOIA The Commission 

has defined CEII to include information 

about ‘‘existing or proposed critical 

infrastructure that (i) relates to the 

production, generation, transportation, 

transmission, or distribution of energy; 

(ii) could be useful to a person planning 

an attack on critical infrastructure; (iii) 

is exempt from mandatory disclosure 

under the Freedom of Information Act, 

and (iv) does not simply give the 

location of the critical infrastructure. 

Critical infrastructure means existing 

and proposed systems and assets, 

whether physical or virtual, the 

incapacity or destruction of which 

would negatively affect security, 

economic security, public health or 

safety, or any combination of those 

matters. A person seeking access to CEII 

may file a request for that information 

by providing information about their 

identity and reason as to the need for 

the information. Through this process, 

the Commission is able to review the 

requester’s need for the information 

against the sensitivity of the 

information. The compliance with these 

requirements is mandatory. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with changes to the 

existing collection of data. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as: 

Data collection 

Number of 

respondents 

annually 1

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours 

per response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1)×(2)×(3) 

FERC–603 ....................................................................................................... 200 1 .30 60 

1The number of respondents corresponds to the number of requests received annually while recognizing that some CEII requests are filed by 

multiple parties. 

The estimated total cost to 

respondents is $4,080. The cost per 

respondent = $20.40. (60 hours @ $68 

hourly rate (rounded off)). 

The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization rather 

than any one particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Commission, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) 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) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

e.g. permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
