SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

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 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Consolidated State 

Application. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0576. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local or Tribal Government. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 30. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,400. 

Abstract: Title IX, Part C, Sections 

9301–9306, of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as 

amended, authorizes the Secretary of 

Education to provide States the option 

of submitting consolidated applications 

to obtain funds for covered programs in 

which the State participates. The 

purpose of consolidated applications as 

defined in ESEA is to improve teaching 

and learning by encouraging greater 

cross-program coordination, planning, 

and service delivery; to enhance 

program integration; and to provide 

greater flexibility and less burden for 

State educational agencies. 

The Department will use the 

information from the consolidated State 

application as the basis for approving 

funding under the covered ESEA, as 

amended programs (in which the State 

participates). The Department also will 

use the performance targets, baseline 

data, and other related information in 

the consolidated application to continue 

to assess the degree of progress States 

make over time in achieving ESEA 

goals. As with previous collections, the 

information in this collection will allow 

the Department to continue to monitor 

effectiveness of the use of program 

funds, and provide grantees with 

technical assistance.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Renewable Energy 

Transitioning the National Training and 

Education Resource to the Public 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency & 

Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Request for information. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) is seeking input from the 

public on its plan to transition its 

stewardship of the National Training 

and Education Resource (NTER) in 

spring 2015. The information sought 

under this Request for Information (RFI) 

is intended to assist DOE in further 

understanding potential strategic 

approaches to transitioning central 

administration of NTER to the private 

sector and the impacts on users. DOE 

seeks input from entities interested in 

taking over NTER as well as from 

impacted parties. The information 

collected may be used for internal DOE 

planning and decision-making 

purposes. 

DATES: Comments regarding the RFI 

must be received on or before December 

3rd, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: The RFI is available at: 

https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. 

Responses and questions may be sent to: 

D Email: NTER–RFI@ee.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information 

should be directed to Linda Silverman,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) developed 

the National Training and Education 

Resource (NTER) to provide an open 

source platform for multimedia, selfpaced training courses designed to build 

skills in clean energy vocations at lower 

costs than proprietary packages. NTER 

offers DOE and other organizations a 

unified platform to provide state-of-theart training. NTER users earn 

certifications and demonstrate 

competency that translate directly into 

on-the-job performance. Its highly 

modular design allows it to be used as 

a stand-alone open-source toolkit or 

combined with proprietary third-party 

materials. NTER is a learning 

management system (LMS) and Content 

Management System (CMS) that 

streamlines the delivery of training and 

content to stakeholders. It was designed 

to leverage open source code, enabling 

educators to create content and students 

to take courses easily. 

DOE’s mission is to ensure America’s 

security and prosperity by addressing its 

energy, environmental, and nuclear 

challenges through transformative 

science and technology solutions. DOE’s 

intent has been to transfer stewardship 

of the platform to an entity within the 

open source community in order to 

maximize market adoption while 

fostering open source, shared learning 

environments. It is envisioned that one 

or more non-governmental entities with 

expertise in open source development of 

educational content creation and 

sharing will be most qualified to take 

over this well-developed product and its 

customer-base. This RFI seeks input 

from those entities interested in taking 

over NTER as well as from impacted 

parties. 

The RFI is available at: https://eereexchange.energy.gov.
