during the study. Public scoping 

meetings would be held. Exact dates, 

times, and locations would be published 

in local papers.

and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the 

National Marine Fisheries Service under 

Section 7 of the Endangered Species 

Act, with the FWS under the Fish and 

Wildlife Coordination Act, and with the 

State Historic Preservation Officer. 

g. Other Environmental Review and 

Consultation. The proposed action 

would involve evaluation for 

compliance with guidelines pursuant to 

section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act; 

application (to the State of Florida) for 

Water Quality Certification pursuant to 

section 401 of the Clean Water Act; 

certification of state lands, easements, 

and rights of way; Essential Fish Habitat 

with National Marine Fisheries Service; 

and determination of Coastal Zone 

Management Act consistency.

sponsor (city of Deerfield Beach) will 

provide extensive information and 

assistance on the resources to be 

impacted, mitigation measures if 

warranted, and alternatives.

Clearance Division, Regulatory 

Information Management Services, 

Office of Management, publishes that 

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission

proposed information collection,

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

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

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour 

Burden: 

Responses: 2,841. 

Burden Hours: 2,044. 

Abstract: In 2006, the U.S. 

Department of Education launched the 

Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), which 

awards competitive grants to develop 

and implement performance-based 

compensation systems in high-need 

schools. The purpose of the evaluation 

is to describe the implementation of the 

program and its relationship to any 

increases in recruitment and retention 

of effective teachers and principals. If 

feasible, this evaluation will also seek to 

analyze TIF’s relationship to increasing 

student achievement. 

This evaluation of the TIF program 

includes an implementation study of the 

Cohort 1 and 2 TIF grantees. The 

implementation study will describe the 

central features of the local TIF 

performance-pay programs, the 

implementation of the programs, and 

similarities and differences in 

performance pay programs. Data 

collection activities will be iterative, 

beginning with telephone interviews of 

key stakeholders in all the TIF sites 

(completed winter 2010), followed by 

two rounds of more in-depth case 

studies in a sample of sites. 

Representative surveys of principals and 

teachers will also be conducted to 

represent the full range of program 

knowledge and experiences in each 

grantee program. The implementation 

study may be used in conjunction with 

outcomes data (if the Department 

exercises optional outcomes tasks) to 

help explain the relationship between 

program characteristics and system 

supports and program outcomes.
