SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The 

Advisory Committee on Student 

Financial Assistance is established 

under Section 491 of the Higher 

Education Act of 1965 as amended by 

Public Law 100–50 (20 U.S.C. 1098). 

The Advisory Committee serves as an 

independent source of advice and 

counsel to the Congress and the 

Secretary of Education on student 

financial aid policy. Since its inception, 

the congressional mandate requires the 

Advisory Committee to conduct 

objective, nonpartisan, and independent 

analyses on important aspects of the 

student assistance programs under Title 

IV of the Higher Education Act, and to 

make recommendations that will result 

in the maintenance of access to 

postsecondary education for low- and 

middle-income students. In addition, 

Congress expanded the Advisory 

Committee’s mission in the Higher 

Education Amendments of 1998 to 

include several important areas: access, 

Title IV modernization, distance 

education, and early information, and 

needs assessment. Specifically, the 

Advisory Committee is to review, 

monitor, and evaluate the Department of 

Education’s progress in these areas and 

report recommended improvements to 

Congress and the Secretary. 

The March 17 meeting/hearing in 

Washington, DC, will consist of two 

sessions. The first session will be a 

roundtable discussion among experts 

regarding issues associated with the 

design and use of the institutional net 

price calculators mandated by Congress 

in the Higher Education Opportunity 

Act of 2008. The second session will be 

a panel discussion among experts of the 

nontraditional student population and 

the barriers to access and persistence 

that they face today. The third session 

will consist of a public comment 

session: five minutes will be allotted to 

those who request the opportunity to 

comment on one or both of the topics 

above. To participate in session three, 

please send an e-mail to ACSFA@ed.gov 

noting your topic. We must receive your 

comments on or before March 9, 2011.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 14067–000] 

Charles River Energy LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions to Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On January 26, 2011, Charles River 

Energy LLC filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Moody Street Dam Hydroelectric Project 

(Moody Street Dam Project or project) to 

be located on the Charles River, in the 

City of Waltham, in Middlesex County, 

Massachusetts. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed run-of-the river, lowhydraulic-head (approximately 10 to 12 

feet) project would consist of the 

following: (1) The existing 169-foot-long 

earthen, gravity Moody Street Dam, 

owned and operated by the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (2) an 

existing reservoir having a total storage 

capacity of 2,950 acre-feet; (3) a new 66- 

inch-diameter, siphon-fed penstock 

constructed over the dam and housing 

a 6-blade Gorlov Helical Turbine (GHT) 

turbine-generator unit with a nameplate 

capacity of 45 kilowatts (kW); (4) a new 

25 kW floating turbine-generator unit 

situated at the end of a floating chute in 

the river approximately 500 feet 

downstream of the dam; (5) switchgear, 

controls, and ancillary systems housed 

on shore adjacent to the dam; and (6) a 

short transmission line connected to the 

NStar regional grid adjacent to the 

proposed project site. The estimated 

annual generation of the Moody Street 

Dam Project would be 615 megawatthours.
