### 9400 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Notices

POLB, including a Draft General Conformity Determination, for the Federal action associated with the Project. Comments were received on the Final EIS and Draft General Conformity Determination until May 3, 2009. A General Conformity Determination was required because Project construction would require Federal action ( i.e., issuance of a Corps permit for work and structures in and over navigable waters and discharges of fill into waters of the U.S.) and not all the Federal action’s direct and indirect air emissions would be below specified de minimis thresholds (40 CFR 93.153(b)). On February 23, 2010, the Corps completed its environmental review and made a Final General Conformity Determination, executed the Record of Decision (ROD), and issued a Standard Individual Permit for the Federal action associated with the Project, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act. The Corps considered and responded to all comments received in making the Final General Conformity Determination, executing the ROD, and issuing the Corps permit. The public can request copies of the Final General Conformity Determination document or the ROD from the Corps at the address listed below, or can view or download the these documents from the Corps’ Web site ( http:// www.spl.usace.army.mil/regulatory/ POLB.htm ).

Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) seeks OMB approval to survey adults (16–65 years old) for the 2010 administration of the field-test for the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). PIAAC is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( http://www.oecd.org/ ) and sponsored by the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor in the United States. PIAAC is the OECD’s new international household study of adults’ literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving in technology-rich environments. It will also survey respondents about their education and employment experience and about the skills they use at work. PIAAC builds on previous international literacy assessments: the 2002 Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey (ALLS) and the 1994–98 International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). PIAAC is expected to be on a 10-year cycle. In2011, 27 countries, including 23 OECDmember countries, plan to participate. The U.S. PIAAC field test data collection will occur between August and November 2010. The main study will occur between September 2011 and March 2012. NCES will seek approval for the full-scale instruments in the fall of 2010.
