SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps 

operates USAF Lock and Dam, located 

on the Mississippi River in 

Minneapolis, Minnesota. Section 2010 

of Water Resources Reform and 

Redevelopment Act of 2014, Public Law 

113–121, directed the Corps to close the 

lock to navigation operations but to 

continue to carry out emergency lock 

operations necessary to mitigate flood 

damages. Navigation at the lock ceased 

on June 9th, 2015. Prior to the closure 

of USAF, the lock operated as part of a 

system to support navigation on the 

upper reaches of the Mississippi River 

9-foot navigation channel. 

Section 216 of the Flood Control Act 

of 1970 authorizes the Secretary of the 

Army to review operations of completed 

projects, when found advisable due to 

changed physical, economic, or 

environmental conditions. Disposition 

studies are a specific type of Section 216 

study with the intent to determine 

whether a water resources development 

project operated and maintained by the 

Corps of Engineers should be deauthorized and the associated real 

property and Government-owned 

improvements disposed of. 

The USAF Disposition Study analyzes 

three primary alternatives at the USAF 

site: (1) No action; (2) complete deauthorization by Congress of the Federal 

missions at the site and disposal of the 

properties according to Federal law; and 

(3) partial de-authorization and 

disposal. The partial disposition 

alternative will maintain the emergency 

flood mitigation capability of the 

structure. If the Corps of Engineers 

determines that Federal interest no 

longer exists, it must consider, and may 

recommend, disposal of the project or 

separable elements of the project under 

existing authorities. 

The Disposition Study ends when the 

final report is approved by the Corps of 

Engineers’ Headquarters Office. 

Deauthorization would require 

Congressional Approval. 

Results of the study are summarized 

in the draft DR/EA, which includes an 

analysis of potential environmental 

effects and concludes the action would 

not constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. In accordance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Corps is making 

the draft DR/EA available for public 

comments and will be holding one or 

more virtual public meetings 

summarizing the report prior to the 

comment deadline via Facebook Live or 

similar web-based platform. Additional 

details on these meeting(s) will be 

posted at least two weeks beforehand on 

the Saint Paul District’s website: https:// 

www.mvp.usace.army.mil/. 

Authority: The District publishes this 

notice congruent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and 

its implementing regulations (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508).

Sunshine Act Meetings 

TIME AND DATE: 1:00 p.m., December 18,

PLACE: This meeting will be held via 

teleconference. 

STATUS: Closed. The Board invoked the 

exemption described in 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(2) and 10 CFR 1704.4(b). The 

Board determined that it is necessary to 

close this meeting to the public since an 

open meeting would likely disclose 

information related solely to the internal 

personnel rules and practices of the 

agency. 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: At this 

meeting, members of the Board will 

receive a staff briefing and deliberate on 

appropriate agency reorganization to 

accommodate the Executive Director of 

Operations position.

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Title of Collection: Comprehensive 

Literacy Program Evaluation: 

Comprehensive Literacy State 

Development (CLSD) Program 

Evaluation 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0945 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved collection 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households; State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 612 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 331 

Abstract: The data collection 

described in this submission includes 

activities for the legislatively mandated 

evaluation of the Comprehensive 

Literacy State Development (CLSD) 

Program. The evaluation will provide 

information on the implementation of 

the program and its impact on student 

reading achievement. The CLSD 

evaluation is the second component of 

an evaluation of the U.S. Department of 

Education’s comprehensive literacy 

programs. An earlier clearance package 

(OMB control number 1850–0945) 

covered the first component of the 

evaluation—an implementation study of 

the Striving Readers Comprehensive 

Literacy Program (the precursor program 

to CLSD). The CLSD evaluation will 

include an examination of 

implementation, a randomized trial to 

estimate the impact of CLSD funding on 

teacher and student outcomes, and a 

longitudinal comparison of trends in 

achievement in CLSD and similar, nonCLSD schools. This package requests 

clearance for data collection associated 

with the implementation analyses, the 

randomized trial, and initial data 

collection for the comparisons of 

longitudinal trends. A separate package 

will be submitted at a later date for all 

remaining data collection activities for 

the comparisons of longitudinal trends, 

which will take place following the 

2023–24 school year.

Title of Collection: Implementation of 

Key Federal Policies in the Wake of the 

Coronavirus Pandemic. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 228. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 177. 

Abstract: The coronavirus pandemic 

significantly disrupted K–12 

educational operations and learning in 

spring 2020 and is likely to do so again 

during the 2020–21 school year. Federal 

education policies and funding are 

intended to support state and local 

agencies as they respond to the crisis. 

But the crisis may also shape the way 

federal programs are carried out. The 

U.S. Department of Education (the 

Department), through its Institute for 

Education Sciences (IES), is requesting 

clearance for a new data collection to 

examine how the pandemic may be 

influencing: (1) Implementation of, and 

waivers, from key provisions of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act, reauthorized as the Every Student 

Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), and (2) 

state and district use of federal funds, 

including those provided specifically to 

help in the pandemic recovery, and (3) 

supports for English learners (ELs) in 

districts with high EL enrollments. The 

surveys of all state education agencies 

and a nationally representative sample 

of school districts is being conducted as 

part of an ongoing evaluation of Titles 

I and IIA of ESSA. Interviews of district 

and school personnel in high-EL 

districts are being conducted as part of 

an ongoing evaluation of Title III of 

ESSA.
