squadrons plus one OT&E squadron at 

MCAS Yuma in Arizona. Each 

operational squadron will consist of up 

to 16 F–35B aircraft. To support the 

basing action, the DoN will: (1) 

Construct and/or renovate airfield 

facilities and infrastructure necessary to 

accommodate and maintain the F–35B 

squadrons; (2) change personnel to 

accommodate squadron staffing; and (3) 

conduct F–35B readiness and training 

operations to attain and maintain 

proficiency in the operational 

employment of the F–35B and special 

exercise operations. The Proposed 

Action also includes construction and 

operation of a new Auxiliary Landing 

Field (ALF) within the Goldwater 

Range, to accommodate Field Carrier 

Landing Practice for the F–35B. The F– 

35B aircraft will replace 126 legacy F/ 

A–18A/B/C/D Hornet and 56 AV–8B 

Harrier aircraft in the Third Marine Air 

Wing (3D MAW) and 4th MAW. All 

practical means to avoid or minimize 

environmental impacts resulting from 

implementation of the Preferred 

Alternative have been adopted.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection Requests 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

ACTION: Comment request. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Education 

(the Department), 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 and continuing 

collections of information. This helps 

the Department assess the impact of its 

information collection requirements and

public and helps the public understand 

the Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. The Director, 

Information Collection Clearance 

Division, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, invites comments on the 

proposed information collection 

requests as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before February 

14, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding burden 

and/or the collection activity 

requirements should be electronically 

mailed to ICDocketMgr@ed.gov or 

mailed to U.S. Department of Education, 

400 Maryland Avenue, SW., LBJ, 

Washington, DC 20202–4537. Please

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires

Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, Regulatory 

Information Management Services, 

Office of Management, publishes this 

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests at the beginning of 

the Departmental review of the 

information collection. The Department

Type of Review: New. 

Title of Collection: Impact Evaluation 

of Race to the Top (RTT) and School 

Improvement Grants (SIG). 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Agency Form Number(s): N/A. 

Frequency of Responses: Once. 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal

Abstract: This Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) package requests 

clearance for activities to recruit 50 

states and the District of Columbia, and 

up to 825 schools across an estimated 

170 districts for inclusion in an 

evaluation of Race to the Top (RTT) and 

School Improvement Grants (SIG). The 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act contained substantial funding for 

systemic education reform. This 

included $4.35 billion in RTT grants, 

which were awarded to 11 states and 

the District of Columbia based both on 

their education reform plans and their 

past success in creating the conditions 

for reform, and $3 billion in additional 

funding for SIG, which is aimed at 

implementing one of four school 

turnaround models (STMs) in the 

lowest-performing schools. The 

evaluation is designed to (1) study the 

implementation of RTT and SIG; (2) 

analyze the impact of SIG-funded STMs 

on student outcomes using a regression 

discontinuity design; (3) analyze the 

impact of receipt of RTT funds on 

student outcomes using an interrupted 

time series design; and (4) investigate 

the relationship between STM 

turnaround models (and strategies 

within those models) and student 

outcomes in low-performing schools. No 

data are being collected or analyzed as 

part of recruitment activities. A second 

OMB submission will request clearance 

for the evaluation’s data collection, 

analysis, and reporting activities. This 

future package will include data 

collection forms, and burden estimates 

of the number of respondents and hours 

of response time. 

Requests for copies of the proposed 

information collection request may be 

accessed from http://edicsweb.ed.gov, 

by selecting the ‘‘Browse Pending 

Collections’’ link and by clicking on link 

number 4468. When you access the 

information collection, click on 

‘‘Download Attachments’’ to view. 

Written requests for information should 

be addressed to U.S. Department of 

Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., 

LBJ, Washington, DC 20202–4537. 

Requests may also be electronically 

mailed to ICDocketMgr@ed.gov or faxed 

to 202–401–0920. Please specify the 

complete title of the information 

collection and OMB Control Number 

when making your request.

filed applications, and on May 19, 2010, 

Montgomery Hydro, LLC, filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of hydropower at 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

Montgomery Locks and Dam on the 

Ohio River near the town of Industry, in 

Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The sole 

purpose of a preliminary permit, if 

issued, is to grant the permit holder 

priority to file a license application 

during the permit term. A preliminary 

permit does not authorize the permit 

holder to perform any land-disturbing 

activities or otherwise enter upon lands 

or waters owned by others without the 

owners’ express permission. 

Descriptions of the proposed 

Montgomery Locks and Dam Projects: 

Lock+TM Hydro Friends Fund XXXVI’s 

proposed project (Project No. 13733– 

000) would consist of: (1) Two lock 

frame modules 170 feet long, 40 feet 

high, and weighing 1.16 million pounds 

each, and containing 15 generating units 

with a total combined capacity of 54 

megawatts (MW); (2) a 67-foot-high, 75- 

foot-long prefabricated concrete wall 

attached to pilings in the river to 

support each lock frame module; (3) a 

25-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard 

containing a transformer; and (4) a 

2,000-foot-long, 69-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line to an existing 

substation. The proposed project would 

have an average annual generation of 

236.68 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which 

would be sold to a local utility.
