collaborative and actionable

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

Methodology: Respondents will fill 

out a brief customer survey after 

completing their interaction with a 

Department Office or Embassy. Surveys 

are designed to gather feedback on the 

customer’s experiences.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8624] 

In the Matter of the Review of the 

Designation of Lashkar i Jhangvi (and 

Other Aliases) As a Foreign Terrorist 

Organization Pursuant to Section 219 

of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 

as Amended 

Based upon a review of the 

Administrative Record assembled 

pursuant to Section 219(a)(4)(C) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act, as 

amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C)) 

(‘‘INA’’), and in consultation with the 

Attorney General and the Secretary of 

the Treasury, I conclude that the 

circumstances that were the basis for the 

2008 decision to maintain the 

designation of the aforementioned 

organization as a Foreign Terrorist 

Organization have not changed in such 

a manner as to warrant revocation of the 

designation and that the national 

security of the United States does not 

warrant a revocation of the designation. 

Therefore, I hereby determine that the 

designation of the aforementioned 

organization as a Foreign Terrorist 

Organization, pursuant to Section 219 of 

the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be 

maintained. 

This determination shall be published 

in the Federal Register.

FHWA values public input in the 

development of the model contracts, 

and seeks continuing input. A draft of 

the Core Toll Concession Model 

Contract Guide is provided with this 

notice so that the general public and 

interested stakeholders may provide 

comments. This model contract guide 

has been prepared solely for 

informational purposes and should be 

not construed as a statement of DOT or 

FHWA policy.

comments will be considered to the 

extent practicable.

Background 

Public-private partnerships are 

contractual arrangements between 

public and private sector entities that 

allow for greater participation by the 

private sector in the delivery of surface 

transportation projects and associated 

services. Generally, in addition to 

designing or building a project, a private 

partner in a P3 may be involved in 

financing, operating, and maintaining 

the project. By transferring certain risks 

and responsibilities to the private 

partner, P3s can result in more efficient 

and effective project delivery. However, 

P3 contracts are complex and are of a 

much longer-term duration than 

traditional construction contracts. Their 

terms and conditions address many 

requirements not covered by traditional 

construction contracts such as financing 

arrangements and performance during a 

concession period, among others. Public 

agencies need special expertise to
