enacted or otherwise effectuated, such 

legislation or regulation will be 

applicable to the OTA, and the FAA 

may update or amend the OTA to reflect 

these changes. 

(4) Transmission of data from the Site 

Operator to the FAA or its designee 

must only include those data listed in 

Appendix B to the OTA. (Appendix B 

to the OTA is available as part of the SIR 

[Screening Information Request] at

The FAA anticipates that test site 

operator privacy practices as discussed 

in their privacy policies will help 

inform the dialogue among 

policymakers, privacy advocates, and 

the industry regarding broader questions 

concerning the use of UAS technologies. 

The privacy requirements proposed here 

are specifically designed for the 

operation of the UAS Test Sites. They 

are not intended to pre-determine the 

long-term policy and regulatory 

framework under which commercial 

UASs would operate. Rather, they aim 

to assure maximum transparency of 

privacy policies associated with UAS 

test site operations in order to engage all 

stakeholders in discussion about which 

privacy issues are raised by UAS 

operations and how law, public policy, 

and the industry practices should 

respond to those issues in the long run.

AGENCY: Office of Special Education and 

Rehabilitative Services, Department of 

Education. 

ACTION: Proposed priority. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary for 

Special Education and Rehabilitative 

Services proposes a priority for the 

Advanced Rehabilitation Research 

Training (ARRT) program under the 

Disability and Rehabilitation Research 

Projects and Centers Program 

administered by the National Institute 

on Disability and Rehabilitation 

Research (NIDRR). The Assistant 

Secretary may use this priority for 

competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2013 

and later years. We take this action to 

ensure that NIDRR’s resources are 

appropriately allocated across the three 

outcome domains of individual wellbeing—community living and 

participation, employment, and health 

and function. We intend this priority to 

strengthen the capacity of the disability 

and rehabilitation field to train qualified 

individuals, including individuals with 

disabilities, to conduct high-quality, 

advanced multidisciplinary 

rehabilitation research; and through this 

training contribute to improved 

outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities across the domains of 

community living and participation, 

employment, and health and function. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

on or before April 29, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Address all comments about 

this notice to Marlene Spencer, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice of proposed priority is in concert 

with NIDRR’s Long-Range Plan (Plan). 

The currently approved Plan, which 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 15, 2006 (71 FR 8166), can 

be accessed on the Internet at the 

following site: www2.ed.gov/legislation/ 

FedRegister/other/2006-1/021506d.html. 

Through the implementation of the 

Plan, NIDRR seeks to: (1) Improve the 

quality and utility of disability and 

rehabilitation research; (2) foster an 

exchange of expertise, information, and 

training methods to facilitate the 

advancement of knowledge and 

understanding of the unique needs of 

traditionally underserved populations; 

(3) determine best strategies and 

programs to improve rehabilitation 

outcomes for underserved populations; 

(4) identify research gaps; (5) identify 

mechanisms for integrating research and 

practice; and (6) disseminate findings. 

This notice proposes a new priority 

that NIDRR intends to use in FY 2013 

and possibly later years. However, 

nothing precludes NIDRR from 

publishing additional priorities, if 

needed. Furthermore, NIDRR is under 

no obligation to make an award using 

this priority. The decision to make an 

award will be based on the quality of 

applications received and available 

funding. 

Invitation to Comment: We invite you 

to submit comments regarding this 

notice. To ensure that your comments 

have maximum effect in developing the 

notice of final priority, we urge you to 

identify clearly the specific topic that 

each comment addresses. 

We invite you to assist us in 

complying with the specific 

requirements of Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 and their overall requirement 

of reducing regulatory burden that 

might result from this proposed priority. 

Please let us know of any further ways 

we could reduce potential costs or 

increase potential benefits while 

preserving the effective and efficient 

administration of the program. 

During and after the comment period, 

you may inspect all public comments 

about this notice in room 5133, 550 12th 

Street, SW., PCP, Washington, DC, 

between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the Disability and Rehabilitation 

Research Projects and Centers Program 

is to plan and conduct research, 

demonstration projects, training, and 

related activities, including 

international activities, to develop 

methods, procedures, and rehabilitation 

technology, that maximize the full 

inclusion and integration into society, 

employment, independent living, family 

support, and economic and social selfsufficiency of individuals with 

disabilities, especially individuals with 

the most severe disabilities, and to 

improve the effectiveness of services 

authorized under the Rehabilitation Act 

of 1973, as amended (Rehabilitation 

Act). 

Advanced Rehabilitation Research 

Training: 

The purpose of NIDRR’s ARRT 

program, which is funded through the 

Disability and Rehabilitation Research 

Projects and Centers Program, is to 

provide advanced research training and 

experience to individuals with 

doctorates, or similar advanced degrees, 

who have clinical or other relevant 

experience. ARRT projects train 

rehabilitation researchers, including 

researchers with disabilities, with 

particular attention to research areas 

that support the implementation and 

objectives of the Rehabilitation Act, and 

that improve the effectiveness of 

services authorized under the 

Rehabilitation Act. 

Additional information on the ARRT 

program can be found at: www.ed.gov/ 

rschstat/research/pubs/resprogram.html#DRRP. 

Program Authority: 29 U.S.C. 762(g) 

and 764(a). 

Applicable Program Regulations: 34 

CFR part 350. 

Proposed Priority: This notice 

contains one proposed priority. 

Advanced Rehabilitation Research 

Training Program. 

Background: NIDRR’s mission is to 

support the generation of new 

knowledge and promote its effective use 

to improve the abilities of individuals 

with disabilities to participate in 

community activities of their choice and 

to enhance society’s capacity to provide 

full opportunities and accommodations 

for these individuals. NIDRR research 

focuses on major life domains as 

identified in NIDRR’s Final Long-Range 

Plan for FY 2005–2009 (Federal 

Register, 2006): (1) Employment, (2) 

Participation and Community Living, 

and (3) Health and Function. To help 

ensure that rehabilitation researchers 

receive advanced research training and 

experience consistent with the outcome 

areas identified in NIDRR’s Long-Range 

Plan, NIDRR is proposing priorities 

under the ARRT program for the Plan’s 

major life domains.

Disability and Rehabilitation Research 

(2006). Notice of Final Long-Range Plan 

for Fiscal Years 2005–2009. Federal 

Register. Vol. 71, No 31. P 8166–8200. 

Proposed Priority: The Assistant 

Secretary for Special Education and 

Rehabilitative Services proposes a new 

priority for the Advanced Rehabilitation 

Research Training (ARRT) program. For 

FY 2013, and potential subsequent 

years, ARRT projects must provide 

advanced research training to eligible 

individuals to enhance their capacity to 

conduct high-quality multidisciplinary 

rehabilitation and disability research to 

improve outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities in one of NIDRR’s major 

domains of individual well-being: (a) 

Community living and participation, (b) 

employment, or (c) health and function. 

Types of Priorities: When inviting 

applications for a competition using one 

or more priorities, we designate the type 

of each priority as absolute, competitive 

preference, or invitational through a 

notice in the Federal Register. The 

effect of each type of priority follows: 

Absolute priority: Under an absolute 

priority, we consider only applications 

that meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(3)). 

Competitive preference priority: 

Under a competitive preference priority, 

we give competitive preference to an 

application by (1) awarding additional 

points, depending on the extent to 

which the application meets the priority 

(34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) selecting 

an application that meets the priority 

over an application of comparable merit 

that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(2)(ii)). 

Invitational priority: Under an 

invitational priority, we are particularly 

interested in applications that meet the 

priority. However, we do not give an 

application that meets the priority a 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2013 / Proposed Rules 18935 

preference over other applications (34 

CFR 75.105(c)(1)). 

Final Priority: We will announce the 

final priority in a notice in the Federal 

Register. We will determine the final 

priority after considering responses to 

this notice and other information 

available to the Department. This notice 

does not preclude us from proposing 

additional priorities, requirements, 

definitions, or selection criteria, subject 

to meeting applicable rulemaking 

requirements. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we choose 

to use this priority, we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Under Executive Order 12866, the 

Secretary must determine whether this 

regulatory action is ‘‘significant’’ and, 

therefore, subject to the requirements of 

the Executive order and subject to 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866 defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as an action likely to 

result in a rule that may— 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); 

(2) Create serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, 

or loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

stated in the Executive order. 

This proposed regulatory action is not 

a significant regulatory action subject to 

review by OMB under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

We have also reviewed this regulatory 

action under Executive Order 13563, 

which supplements and explicitly 

reaffirms the principles, structures, and 

definitions governing regulatory review 

established in Executive Order 12866. 

To the extent permitted by law, 

Executive Order 13563 requires that an 

agency— 

(1) Propose or adopt regulations only 

on a reasoned determination that their 

benefits justify their costs (recognizing 

that some benefits and costs are difficult 

to quantify); 

(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the 

least burden on society, consistent with 

obtaining regulatory objectives and 

taking into account—among other things 

and to the extent practicable—the costs 

of cumulative regulations; 

(3) In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, select those 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity); 

(4) To the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than the 

behavior or manner of compliance a 

regulated entity must adopt; and 

(5) Identify and assess available 

alternatives to direct regulation, 

including economic incentives—such as 

user fees or marketable permits—to 

encourage the desired behavior, or 

provide information that enables the 

public to make choices. 

Executive Order 13563 also requires 

an agency ‘‘to use the best available 

techniques to quantify anticipated 

present and future benefits and costs as 

accurately as possible.’’ The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs of 

OMB has emphasized that these 

techniques may include ‘‘identifying 

changing future compliance costs that 

might result from technological 

innovation or anticipated behavioral 

changes.’’ 

We are issuing this proposed priority 

only upon a reasoned determination 

that its benefits would justify its costs. 

In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, we selected 

those approaches that would maximize 

net benefits. Based on the analysis that 

follows, the Department believes that 

this regulatory action is consistent with 

the principles in Executive Order 13563. 

We also have determined that this 

regulatory action would not unduly 

interfere with State, local, and tribal 

governments in the exercise of their 

governmental functions. 

In accordance with both Executive 

orders, the Department has assessed the 

potential costs and benefits, both 

quantitative and qualitative, of this 

regulatory action. The potential costs 

are those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

programs and activities. 

The benefits of the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Programs have been well 

established over the years, as projects 

similar to the one envisioned by the 

proposed priority have been completed 

successfully. This proposed priority 

would strengthen the capacity of the 

rehabilitation and disability field to 

train qualified individuals, including 

individuals with disabilities, to conduct 

high-quality, advanced 

multidisciplinary research across all of 

NIDRR’s major domains of community 

living and participation, employment, 

and health and function; and thereby 

contribute to advancing knowledge and 

solving problems encountered by 

individuals with disabilities of all ages.
