Abstract: The Department of 

Education’s Institute for Education 

Sciences has commissioned this 

evaluation as a response to the current 

need for experimental research about 

the impacts of adolescent literacy 

programs on reading and academic 

outcomes of struggling readers. This 

study focuses on literacy across the 

curriculum intervention that 

emphasizes literacy instruction 

throughout a high school student’s day. 

High school students from diverse types 

of school districts across at least two of 

the states in the Midwest region will be 

tested in literacy and other student 

achievement data will be collected from 

school records. Classroom instruction 

will be observed throughout the course 

of the intervention. District and building 

administrators will be interviewed 

about the intervention and the need for 

large-scale district and school reform in 

literacy instruction.

Great Lakes Initiative (GLI) Toxicity 

Data Clearinghouse 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Great Lakes Initiative 

Toxicity Data Clearinghouse 

(Clearinghouse) is available for use by 

States, Tribes, and other interested 

parties. The online Clearinghouse, 

developed in cooperation with the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (USEPA) Headquarters, Regions 

2, 3, and 5, and the Great Lakes States 

and Tribes, acts as a central location for 

toxicity data, exposure parameters, and 

supporting documents used in deriving 

water quality criteria and guidance 

values in the Great Lakes Basin. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brian Thompson, Water Quality Branch 

(WQ–16J), U.S. EPA, Region 5, Water 

Division, 77 West Jackson Blvd., 

Chicago, IL 60604, (312) 353–6066, 

thompson.brian@epamail.epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

The Clearinghouse was developed to 

support implementation of the Final 

Water Quality Guidance for the Great 

Lakes System (GLI). Data from the 

Clearinghouse can be shared among 

States and Tribes to assist them in 

developing or updating numeric water 

quality standards and guidance values 

for the protection of aquatic life, human 

health, and wildlife. In particular, States 

and Tribes can use the information in 

the Clearinghouse to help derive criteria 

for pollutants without specific numeric 

criteria published in the GLI (40 CFR 

Part 132). 

Data in the Clearinghouse can be 

viewed online or downloaded in 

spreadsheet format. The Clearinghouse 

includes PDF versions of ‘‘fact sheets,’’

which provide methodology 

information on how State agencies and 

USEPA derive criteria and guidance 

values. The Clearinghouse also includes 

links to GLI-related documents, 

including Federal Register notices and 

technical support documents, as well as 

formulas that allow users to calculate 

criteria according to GLI methodologies.
