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://

POLB.htm).

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early

statutory obligations. The Acting 

Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, Regulatory 

Information Management Services, 

Office of Management, publishes that 

notice containing proposed information

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. In 

2011, 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.
