existing collection of information. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private

Abstract: This is a request for the 

revision of the information collection 

for the regulations that govern the 

application for and approval by the 

Secretary of assessments by a private 

test publisher or State that are used to 

measure a student’s skills and abilities 

to determine eligibility for assistance 

through the Title IV student financial 

assistance programs authorized under 

the Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended, when a student does not have 

a high school diploma or its recognized 

equivalent. As of July 1, 2012, the new 

law eliminated all but the completion of 

a homeschool program as an eligibility 

alternative previously available. Due to 

these changes, there is a decreasing pool 

of student applicants who would be 

eligible to take a Department approved 

ability to benefit exam to determine 

Title IV student aid eligibility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On September 13, 2013, DOE received 

an application from TEC for authority to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada for five years as a 

power marketer using existing 

international transmission facilities. 

TEC does not own any electric 

transmission facilities nor does it hold 

a franchised service area. TEC states that 

it will make all of the necessary 

commercial arrangements and will 

obtain any and all of the required 

regulatory approvals. 

The electric energy that TEC proposes 

to export to Canada would be surplus 

energy purchased from electric utilities 

and other entities within the United 

States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

TEC have previously been authorized by 

Presidential permits issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended, 

and are appropriate for open access 

transmission by third parties. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

application at the address provided 

above. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal

become a party to these proceedings 

should file a motion to intervene at the 

above address in accordance with FERC 

Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five copies 

of such comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene should be sent to the 

address provided above on or before the 

date listed above. 

Comments on the TEC application to 

export electric energy to Canada should 

be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 

EA–388. An additional copy is to be

Street, 2H, Jackson Heights, NY 11372. 

A final decision will be made on this 

application after the environmental 

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to DOE’s National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after a determination is 

made by DOE that the proposed action 

will not have an adverse impact on the 

sufficiency of supply or reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system. 

Copies of this application will be
