(c) Organize and provide national TA 

in accordance with the two-year plan 

approved by RSA, including overseeing 

all activities related to preparing for and 

conducting national TA. These activities 

include, but are not limited to, the 

following: Determining the target 

audience for the TA; organizing 

conferences, webinars, and other 

national TA; identifying presenters; 

arranging for reasonable 

accommodations for individuals with 

disabilities; making logistical 

arrangements for the national TA; 

providing travel reimbursement and 

stipends, where appropriate, to State VR 

personnel; provide for continuing 

education credits; and conducting 

evaluations of the national TA that has 

been provided; 

(d) Organize and archive all TA 

products and materials for use by RSA, 

the TACE centers, and other TA 

providers, as needed; and 

(e) Develop and maintain a Web site 

to make available the products and 

materials that are developed and/or 

used in providing TA conducted under 

this priority so that they can be accessed 

and used by RSA, the TACE centers, 

and other RSA grantees. The Web site 

must be capable of supporting other 

features including, but not limited to, 

conference and webinar registration, a 

calendar of events, and links to other 

related Web sites and resources; and 

(f) Collaborate with other RSA-funded 

TA providers, including, but not limited 

to, the TACE Centers, the American 

Indian Vocational Rehabilitation 

Technical Assistance Center, and the 

Independent Living Training and 

Technical Assistance Center, in the 

provision and support of TA activities. 

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 

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 Order 12866: This notice 

has been reviewed in accordance with 

Executive Order 12866. Under the terms 

of the order, we have assessed the 

potential costs and benefits of this 

proposed regulatory action. 

The potential costs associated with 

this proposed regulatory action are 

those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering this program effectively 

and efficiently. 

In assessing the potential costs and 

benefits—both quantitative and 

qualitative—of this proposed regulatory 

action, we have determined that the 

benefits of the proposed priority justify 

the costs. 

Discussion of Costs and Benefits 

The benefits of the provision of TA 

are well-established. TA targeted to the 

specific needs of grantees helps them to 

improve their performance and to 

achieve their objectives. Specifically, 

the provision of cost effective TA to 

State VR agencies in areas of national 

need should result in higher quality 

employment outcomes for the 

individuals with disabilities whom 

these agencies serve. 

Intergovernmental Review: This 

program is subject to Executive Order 

12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR 

Part 79. One of the objectives of the 

Executive order is to foster an 

intergovernmental partnership and a 

strengthened federalism. The Executive 

order relies on processes developed by 

State and local governments for 

coordination and review of proposed 

Federal financial assistance. 

This document provides early 

notification of our specific plans and 

actions for this program. 

Accessible Format: Individuals with 

disabilities can obtain this document in 

an accessible format (e.g., braille, large 

print, audiotape, or computer diskette)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C. 

761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization 

Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 et 

seq.) require the DOE to carry out a 

centralized, comprehensive, and unified 

energy information program. This 

program collects, evaluates, assembles, 

analyzes, and disseminates information 

on energy resource reserves, production, 

demand, technology, and related 

economic and statistical information. 

This information is used to assess the 

adequacy of energy resources to meet 

near and longer term domestic 

demands. 

The Office of Electricity Delivery and 

Energy Reliability (OE), as part of its 

effort to comply with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), provides the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies with opportunities to comment 

on collections of energy information 

conducted by OE. Any comments 

received help the DOE to prepare data 

requests that maximize the utility of the 

information collected, and to assess the 

impact of collection requirements on the 

public. Also, the DOE will later seek 

approval of this collection of 

information by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

section 3507(a) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

The DOE collects information on the 

generation, distribution, and 

transmission of electric energy. The 

DOE collects information on emergency 

situations in electric energy supply 

systems so that appropriate Federal 

emergency response measures can be 

implemented in a timely and effective 

manner. 

The purpose of this notice is to seek 

public comment on the revised Form 

OE–417, ‘‘Emergency Incident and 

Disturbance Report,’’ used to report 

electric emergency incidents and 

disturbances to the DOE. The Form OE– 

417 reports will enable the DOE to 

monitor electric emergency incidents 

and disturbances in the United States 

(including all 50 States, the District of 

Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin 

Islands, and the U.S. Trust Territories)
