SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. 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 collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Evaluation of the 

Pell Grant Experiments Under the 

Experimental Sites Initiative. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0892. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 4,904. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,416. 

Abstract: The Pell Grant Experiments 

evaluation is a two-part, seven-year 

demonstration study sponsored by the 

U.S. Department of Education that 

focuses on the effects of expanded 

access to Pell grants on students’ 

educational outcomes, employment and 

earnings. The primary outcome of 

interest is (1) educational enrollment 

and completion, and (2) measures of 

student debt and financial aid while 

secondary outcomes include (3) the 

employment status and earnings of 

students who participate in the study. 

This study consists of two 

experiments, each of which will 

examine the impact of a single change 

to the Pell grant eligibility criteria. The 

first experiment will relax the 

prohibition on receipt of Pell grants by 

students with a bachelors’ degree. 

Individuals eligible for the first 

experiment must have a bachelor’s 

degree, be unemployed or 

underemployed, and pursue a 

vocational training program up to one 

year in duration. The second 

experiment will reduce the minimum 

duration and intensity levels of 

programs that Pell grant recipients must 

participate in from 15 weeks with 600 

minimum clock hours to 8 weeks with 

150 minimum clock hours. Each 

experiment will operate through a set of 

PGE schools that provide education and 

training services that qualify as PGE 

programs. 

Participants in both experiments will 

be randomly assigned to either (1) a 

treatment group, which will have 

expanded access to Pell grants; or (2) a 

control group, which will not have 

access. Within both experiments, the 

treatment group will be very similar to 

the control at the time of random 

assignment except for access to Pell 

grants. Subsequent differences in the 

employment and earnings outcomes 

between treatment and control group 

members can then be attributed to Pell 

grant access. The first experiment will 

involve roughly 27 PGE schools with an 

average of 25 students participating per 

school. The second experiment will 

involve roughly 27 PGE schools with an 

average of 100 participating students per 

school. The expected sample of both 

experiments combined is approximately 

3,375 students. Data for this evaluation 

will come from participants’ FAFSA 

applications, PGE school administrative 

records, and SSA earnings statements. 

The study participant enrollment period 

is expected to last from November 2012 

to June 2016. A data extracts from 

FAFSA applications will occur in July 

2018. Administrative data extracts from 

PGE schools will occur between January 

and March during years 2015–2018.

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–725G information

Docket No. RD15–2. 

Abstract: The Commission is 

submitting Reliability Standard PRC– 

006–2 to OMB under FERC–725G 1 for 

review of the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. 

The Commission requires the 

information collected by the FERC– 

725G to implement the statutory 

provisions of section 215 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA).2 On August 8, 2005, 

Congress enacted into law the

Commission-certified Electric 

Reliability Organization (ERO) to 

develop mandatory and enforceable 

Reliability Standards, which are subject 

to Commission review and approval. 

Once approved, the Reliability 

Standards may be enforced by the ERO 

subject to Commission oversight, or the 

Commission can independently enforce 

Reliability Standards.4

On February 3, 2006, the Commission 

issued Order No. 672, implementing 

section 215 of the FPA.5 Pursuant to 

Order No. 672, the Commission certified
