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. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public

statutory obligations. The Acting 

Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, Regulatory 

Information Management Services,

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment.

Abstract: This OMB package requests 

clearance for data collection 

instruments to be used in a four-year 

evaluation of Lessons in Character (LIC) 

program. This study is based on an 

experimental design that utilizes the 

random assignment. LIC is an English 

Language Arts (ELA)-based character 

education curriculum that is expected to 

have positive impacts on student 

academic performance, attendance, 

school motivation, and endorsement of 

universal values consistent with 

character education. The evaluation will 

be conducted by REL West, one of the 

National Regional Education 

Laboratories administered by the 

Institute of Education Sciences of the 

U.S. Department of Education. 

Evaluation measures include student 

archived data (e.g., state mandated 

standardized test scores); follow-up 

surveys for students; teacher and parent 

rating/observation on various student 

aspects (e.g., student social skills); 

baseline and follow-up surveys for 

teachers; and teacher/administrator 

interviews. Baseline data collection will 

take place in 2007; follow-up data 

collection will take place in 2008, 2009, 

and 2010.

Abstract: The Education Longitudinal 

Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) is a nationally 

representative longitudinal study of two 

high school grade cohorts (spring 2002 

tenth-graders and spring 2004 twelfthgraders) comprising over 16,000 sample 

members. The study focuses on 

achievement growth, and its correlates, 

in the high school years; the family and 

school social context of secondary 

education; and transitions from high 

school to postsecondary education and/ 

or the labor market. Major issues for the 

postsecondary years include 

postsecondary educational access and 

choice, and persistence and 

baccalaureate and sub-baccalaureate 

attainment, as well as the work 

experiences of the non-college-bound, 

and other markers of adult status, such 

as family formation and civic 

participation. Data collections took 

place in 2002, 2004, 2006 (two years out 

of high school), and now a final data 

collection will take place in 2012, when 

most sample members are around 26 

years of age. This submission requests 

OMB’s approval for batch tracing for the 

third follow-up 2011 field test and 2012 

full scale respondents.

is on file with the Commission and open 

to public inspection. This filing is 

available for review at the Commission 

in the Public Reference Room or may be 

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the protest or intervention to the 

Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC.
