Abstract: The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides $4.3 

billion for the Race to the Top Fund 

(referred to in the statute as the State 

Incentive Grant Fund). This is a 

competitive grant program. The purpose 

of the program is to encourage and 

reward States that are creating the 

conditions for education innovation and 

reform; achieving significant 

improvement in student outcomes, 

including making substantial gains in 

student achievement, closing 

achievement gaps, improving high 

school graduation rates, and ensuring 

student preparation for success in 

college and careers; and implementing 

ambitious plans in four core education 

reform areas: (a) Adopting 

internationally-benchmarked standards 

and assessments that prepare students 

for success in college and the 

workplace; (b) building data systems 

that measure student success and 

inform teachers and principals in how 

they can improve their practices; (c) 

increasing teacher effectiveness and 

achieving equity in teacher distribution; 

and (d) turning around our lowestachieving schools. 

The U.S. Department of Education 

(the Department) will collect this data 

from the 12 Race to the Top grantee 

states to inform its review of grantee 

implementation, outcomes, oversight, 

and accountability. The Department will 

use these forms to inform on-site visits, 

‘‘stocktake’’ meetings with 

Implementation and Support Unit 

leadership at the Department, and 

annual reports for individual grantees 

and the grant program as a whole. 

In order to allow for a comprehensive 

program review of the Race to the Top 

grantees, we are requesting a three-year 

clearance with this form.

Sawgrass Storage, L.L.C. (Sawgrass), 

having its principal place of business at

(NGA) and Parts 157 and 284 of the 

Commission’s Regulations, for a 

certificate of public convenience and 

necessity to construct and operate its 

Sawgrass Storage Project. The Sawgrass

of 30 Bcf and a maximum daily 

injection and withdrawal rate of 300

interruptible natural gas storage services 

and hub services. Finally, Sawgrass 

requested authorization to provide the 

proposed storage and hub service at

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to 

Stephen Cittadine, Vice President, 

Sawgrass Storage, LLC, 3333 

Warrenville Road, Suite 300, Lisle, IL 

60532 by calling (630) 245–7800. 

On June 14, 2010, the Commission 

staff granted Sawgrass’ request to use 

the pre-filing process and assigned 

Docket No. PF10–20–000 to staff 

activities involving the Sawgrass 

Storage Project. Now, as of the filing of 

this application on July 27, 2011, the 

NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project 

has ended. From this time forward, this 

proceeding will be conducted in Docket 

No. CP11–523–000, as noted in the 

caption of this Notice. 

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 

157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the 

Commission’s staff will either complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission’s staff issuance of the EA 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 158 / Tuesday, August 16, 2011 / Notices 50725 

for this proposal. The filing of the EA 

in the Commission’s public record for 

this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to reach a final 

decision on a request for federal 

authorization within 90 days of the date 

of issuance of the Commission staff’s 

EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 14 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. See, 

18 CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the 

instructions on the Commission’s Web 

site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.
