Abstract: Title IX, Part C, Sections 

9301–9306, of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as 

amended (No Child Left Behind [NCLB] 

Pub. L. 107–110), 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 

NCLB is to improve teaching and 

learning by encouraging greater crossprogram 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–512, 

‘‘Application for Preliminary Permit’’ 

(OMB No. 1902–0073), is used by the 

Commission to implement the statutory 

provisions of Sections 4(f), 5 and 7 of 

the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 

sections 797, 798 & 800. The purpose of 

obtaining a preliminary permit is to 

maintain priority of the application for 

a license for a hydropower facility while 

the applicant conducts surveys to 

prepare maps, plans, specifications and 

estimates; conducts engineering, 

economic and environmental feasibility 

studies; and making financial 

arrangements. The conditions under 

which the priority will be maintained 

are set forth in each permit. During the 

term of the permit, no other application 

for a preliminary permit or application 

for a license submitted by another party 

can be accepted. The term of the permit 

is three years. The information collected 

under the designation FERC–512 is in 

the form of a written application for a 

preliminary permit which is used by 

Commission staff to determine an 

applicant’s qualifications to hold a 

preliminary permit, review the 

proposed hydro development for 

feasibility and to issue a notice of the 

application in order to solicit public and 

agency comments. The Commission 

implements these mandatory filing 

requirements in the Code of Federal

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 2011 / Notices 51961 

Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 4.31– 

4.33, 4.81–4.83. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no changes to the 

existing collection of data. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as: 

Number of respondents annually 

Number of 

responses 

per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours 

per response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1)×(2)×(3) 

200 ........................................................................................................................................... 1 37 7,400 

Estimated cost burden to respondents 

is $508,000; [i.e., (7 hours @$200 an 

hour (legal) × 200 respondents) + (30 

hours @$38 an hour (technical) × 200 

respondents)] per year equals 

$508,000)]. The average annual cost 

burden per respondent is $2,540 

($508,000/200 = $2,540). 

The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization rather 

than anyone particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Commission, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
