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

Title of Collection: Charter Online 

Management and Performance System 

(COMPS) State Entity Annual 

Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW. 

Type of Review: New ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 80. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,040. 

Abstract: This request is for a new 

OMB approval to collect the Annual 

Performance Report (APR) data from 

Charter School Programs (CSP) State 

Entity (SE) grantees. The Charter School 

Programs (CSP) was originally 

authorized under Title V, Part B, 

Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through 5211 

of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as 

amended by the No Child Left Behind 

(NCLB) Act of 2001. For fiscal year 2017 

and thereafter, ESEA has been amended 

by the Every Student Succeeds Act 

(ESSA), (20USC 7221–7221i), which 

reserves funds to improve education by 

supporting innovation in public 

education and to: (2) provide financial 

assistance for the planning, program 

design, and initial implementation of 

charter schools; (3) increase the number 

of high-quality charter schools available 

to students across the United States; (4) 

evaluate the impact of charter schools 

on student achievement, families, and 

communities, and share best practices 

between charter schools and other 

public schools; (5) encourage States to 

provide support to charter schools for 

facilities financing in an amount more 

nearly commensurate to the amount 

States typically provide for traditional 

public schools; (6) expand opportunities 

for children with disabilities, English 

learners, and other traditionally 

underserved students to attend charter 

schools and meet the challenging State 

academic standards; (7) support efforts 

to strengthen the charter school 

authorizing process to improve 

performance management, including 

transparency, oversight and monitoring 

(including financial audits), and 

evaluation of such schools; and (8) 

support quality, accountability, and 

transparency in the operational 

performance of all authorized public 

chartering agencies, including State 

educational agencies, local educational 

agencies, and other authorizing entities. 

The U.S. Department of Education 

(ED) is requesting authorization to 

collect data from CSP grantees within 

the SE program through a new online 

platform. In 2022, ED began 

development of a new data collection 

system, the Charter Online Management 

and Performance System (COMPS), 

designed specifically to reduce the 

burden of reporting for users and 

increase validity of the overall data. 

This new collection consists of 

questions responsive to the actions 

established in the program’s final rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 6, 2022, as well as the SE program 

Notice Inviting Applications (NIA). This 

collection request is a consolidation of 

all previously established program data 

collection efforts and provides a more 

comprehensive representation of grantee 

performance.

Application for Authorization To 

Export Electric Energy; In 

Commodities US LLC 

AGENCY: Grid Deployment Office, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: In Commodities US LLC (the 

Applicant or In Commodities) has 

applied for authorization to transmit 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada pursuant to the Federal Power 

Act. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before September 29, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States Department of Energy 

(DOE) regulates electricity exports from 

the United States to foreign countries in 

accordance with section 202(e) of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 

CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2023 / Notices 59883 

and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) 

transferred this regulatory authority, 

previously exercised by the nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to 

DOE. 

Section 202(e) of the FPA provides 

that an entity which seeks to export 

electricity must obtain an order from 

DOE authorizing that export (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the 

authority to issue such orders was 

delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment 

Office (GDO) by Delegation Order No. 

S1–DEL–S3–2023 and Redelegation 

Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. 

On June 21, 2023, In Commodities 

filed an application with DOE 

(Application or App.) for authorization 

to transmit electric energy to Canada for 

a five-year term. App at 1. 

In its Application, In Commodities 

states that it is a Delaware limited 

liability company with its headquarters 

in Denmark, and that ‘‘is also registered 

as a foreign limited liability company in 

the states of New Jersey, New York, and 

Texas.’’ Id. at 2. The Applicant states it 

‘‘is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of 

In Commodities US ApS, a corporation 

organized under the laws of Denmark. 

In Commodities US ApS is wholly 

owned by Incomas Global ApS, also 

organized under the laws of Denmark. 

In Commodities Global ApS is wholly 

owned by Incomas Holdings ApS, also 

organized under the laws of Denmark.’’ 

Id. The Applicant represents that it ‘‘has 

no electric power supply system on 

which the proposed exports could have 

a reliability, fuel use system, or stability 

impact. In Commodities also has no 

obligation to serve native load usually 

associated with a franchised service 

area, and, thus, the exports proposed by 

In Commodities will not impair its 

ability to meet current and prospective 

power supply obligations.’’ Id. at 3–4. 

The Applicant further states, ‘‘In 

Commodities will purchase power to be 

exported from a variety of sources such 

as power marketers, independent power 

producers, or U.S. electric utilities and 

federal power marketing entities as 

those terms are defined in Sections 

3(22) and 3(19) of the FPA. By 

definition, such power is surplus to the 

system of the generator and, therefore, 

the electric power that In Commodities 

will export on either a firm or 

interruptible basis will not impair the 

sufficiency of the electric power supply 

within the U.S.’’ Id. at 4. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

the Applicant have been previously 

authorized by Presidential permits 

issued pursuant to Executive Order 

10485, as amended, and are appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties. Id. at Exhibit C. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

Application at Electricity.Exports@

hq.doe.gov. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 

385.211). Any person desiring to 

become a party to this proceeding 

should file a motion to intervene at 

Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov in 

accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 

385.214). 

Comments and other filings 

concerning In Commodities’ 

Application should be clearly marked 

with GDO Docket No. EA–502. 

Additional copies are to be provided 

directly to Divna Gavric, In 

Commodities US LLC, 251 Little Falls 

Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808,

Valerie L. Green, Pierce Atwood LLP, 

1875 K St. NW, Suite 700, Washington, 

DC 20006, Vgreen@pierceatwood.com. 

A final decision will be made on the 

requested authorization after the 

environmental impacts have been 

evaluated pursuant to DOE’s National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and after 

DOE evaluates whether the proposed 

action will have an adverse impact on 

the sufficiency of supply or reliability of 

the United States electric power supply 

system. 

Copies of this Application will be 

made available, upon request, by 

accessing the program website at
