SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Trusted Capital Digital 

Marketplace Application; OMB Control 

Number 0704–XXXX. 

Needs and Uses: Per the authority 

vested in the Secretary of Defense 

(SECDEF) by Section 1711 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act of 

2018, the Office of the Under Secretary 

of Defense for Acquisition and 

Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) has 

proposed a ‘‘Trusted Capital’’ initiative 

in the form of a public-private 

partnership designed to convene trusted 

sources of private capital with 

innovative companies critical to the 

defense industrial base (DIB) and 

national security. The initiative 

includes establishment of a Trusted 

Capital Digital Marketplace (TCDM) to 

facilitate business relationships between 

eligible investors (‘‘Capital Providers’’) 

and eligible small and medium-sized 

businesses that have been ‘‘downselected’’ by Department of Defense 

(DoD) Components based on relevancy, 

technical merit, business viability, or 

innovativeness (‘‘Capability Providers’’). 

The COVID–19 pandemic highlighted 

the criticality of the security and 

resiliency of defense supply chains. The 

Federal emergency enabled DoD to 

accelerate initiatives to identify 

constraints and risks in our supply 

chains that were initially identified in 

the Executive Order (E.O.) 13806 report, 

which was published in 2018. One of 

the risk archetypes identified in the 

report is foreign dependency on capital 

and supply chains. Although DoD will 

always have a diverse, domestic and 

international supply chain, we 

recognize that this comes with some 

risk. COVID–19 magnified that risk and 

the difficulties of offshore sources of 

capital and supply in times of global 

emergencies. The OUSD(A&S) Trusted 

Capital program offers critical 

technology companies an alternative to 

adversarial capital. To accomplish this 

important national security mission the 

Trusted Capital program requires the 

ability to gather data required to 

conduct national security and supply 

chain due-diligence to prioritize 

‘‘trusted’’ sources of commercial capital 

to offset direct financial distress in the 

DIB and support our partners affected 

by the virus with investments and local 

job creation. Information collected will 

be used in determining an applicant’s 

eligibility for TCDM participation. 

Parties will complete an electronic 

application and be subjected to a due 

diligence screening process to assess for 

adversarial foreign ownership, 

influence, or control—as well as other 

national security risks. In the event 

additional information is necessary to 

process an application, additional 

inquiries may be sent to the applicant. 

Applicants that receive a favorable due 

diligence screening adjudication by 

OUSD(A&S) will be approved for TCDM 

participation. In addition to initial 

application requirements, participants 

will be subject to continuous reporting 

obligations.

Abstract: The Office of School 

Support and Accountability (SSA) 

administers Title I, Sections 1001–1004 

(School Improvement); Title I, Part A 

(Improving Basic Programs Operated by 

Local Educational Agencies); Title I, 

Part B (Enhanced Assessments Grants 

(EAG), and Grants for State Assessments 

and Related Activities); Title II, Part A 

(Supporting Effective Instruction); Title 

III, Part A (English Language 

Acquisition, Language Enhancement, 

and Academic Achievement); and 

School Improvement Grants (SIG). 

Quarterly progress checks, phone or inperson conversations every three 

months of a fiscal year with State 

directors and coordinators, help ensure 

that State Educational Agencies (SEAs) 

are making progress toward increasing 

student achievement and improving the 

quality of instruction for all students 

through regular conversations about the 

quality of SEA implementation of SSA 

administered programs. The information 

shared with the SSA helps inform the 

selection and delivery of technical 

assistance to SEAs and aligns structures, 

processes, and routines so the SSA can 

regularly monitor the connection 

between grant administration and 

intended outcomes. Progress checks also 

allow the SSA to proactively engage 

with SEAs to identify any issues ahead 

of formal monitoring visits, decreasing 

the need for enforcement actions and 

minimizing burden for SEAs. ED will 

collect this data from the 53 grantees 

that receive the grants listed above to 

inform its review of grantee 

implementation, outcomes, oversight, 

and accountability. In order to allow for 

a comprehensive program review of 

SSA grantees, we are requesting a threeyear clearance with this form.

Matters 

A. Introduction and Procedural Matters 

The Northwest Power Act provides 

that Bonneville must establish, and 

periodically review and revise, its 

power and transmission rates so that 

they recover, in accordance with sound 

business principles, the costs associated 

with the acquisition, conservation, and 

transmission of electric power, 

including amortization of the Federal 

investment in the Federal Columbia 

River Power System (FCRPS) over a 

reasonable number of years, and 

Bonneville’s other costs and expenses. 

Section 7(i) of the Northwest Power Act 

requires that Bonneville’s rates be 

established according to certain 

procedures, including publication in the 

Federal Register of a notice of the 

proposed rates; one or more hearings 

conducted as expeditiously as 

practicable by a Hearing Officer; 

opportunity for both oral presentation 

and written submission of views, data, 

questions, and arguments related to the 

proposed rates; and a decision by the 

Administrator based on the record.
