Central contract. A second OMB 

package, which will be submitted later 

this year, will request clearance for data 

collection instruments and the 

collection of district administrative 

data. 

Even prior to the COVID–19 

pandemic, Algebra I proved challenging 

for many students because of the 

extensive abstract thinking it requires 

(Katz, 2007; Susa et al., 2014). To help 

students succeed in Algebra I, REL 

Central is developing a toolkit of 

professional learning supports to help 

Algebra I teachers learn about, make 

sense of, plan for, and implement three 

evidence-based Algebra I teaching 

practices that were identified in the 

related What Work Clearinghouse 

(WWC) Practice Guide, ‘‘Teaching 

Strategies for Improving Algebra 

Knowledge in Middle and High School 

Students.’’ The toolkit contains the 

following three parts: (1) Initial 

Diagnostic and On-going Monitoring 

Instruments, (2) Professional 

Development Resources, and (3) Steps 

for Institutionalizing Supports for 

Evidence-Based Practice. 

This study will assess whether 

implementing the toolkit improves 

teacher and student outcomes and will 

describe the implementation of the 

toolkit in study schools that use it. 

Using a school-level randomized 

controlled trial during the 2024–2025 

school year, the study will estimate the 

impact of the toolkit on teachers’ selfefficacy and their understanding and 

use of the promising practices, as well 

as on students’ algebraic content 

knowledge, self-efficacy, and 

mathematical mindsets. To provide 

context for the impact estimates and 

inform future use of the toolkit, the 

study will also describe the 

implementation of the toolkit. The study 

plans to include 20 schools from three 

districts. To disseminate these findings, 

REL Central will produce a report for 

school leaders and teachers who are 

potential users of the toolkit.

some cases, report information or data 

to other public agencies or to the public. 

This Information Collection was created

Title of Collection: Master Generic

Responses: 225,703. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Department is 

requesting an additional 30-day 

comment period due to the addition of 

challenges and contests to this generic 

clearance. 

Surveys to be considered under this 

generic will only include those surveys 

that improve customer service or collect 

feedback about a service provided to 

individuals or entities directly served by 

ED. The results of these customer 

surveys will help ED managers plan and 

implement program improvements and 

other customer satisfaction initiatives. 

Focus groups that will be considered 

under the generic clearance will assess 

customer satisfaction with a direct 

service or will be designed to inform a 

customer satisfaction survey ED is 

considering. Surveys that have the 

potential to influence policy will not be 

considered under this generic clearance. 

ED will also launch challenges or 

prize competitions on occasion in a 

short turnaround. The information 

collected for challenges and prize 

competitions will generally include the 

submitter’s or other contact person’s 

first and last name, organizational or 

school affiliation; email address or other 

contact information (to follow up if the 

submitted entry is selected as a finalist 

or winner); street address (to confirm 

that the submitter or affiliated school or 

organization for eligibility purposes); 

and a video or a narrative description 

for the specific challenge or contest. ED 

may also request information indicating 

the submitter’s educational level, 

ethnicity, age range, gender, and race (to 

evaluate entrants’ diversity and 

backgrounds). Finally, ED may ask for 

additional information tailored to the 

challenge or prize competition through 

structured questions. This information 

will enable the Department to create and 

administer challenges and prize 

competitions more effectively. 

Upon entry or during the judging 

process, entrants under the age of 18 

will be asked to confirm parental 

consent, which will require them to 

obtain and provide a parent or guardian 

signature in a format outlined in the 

specific criteria of each challenge or 

prize competition to qualify for the 

contest. To protect online privacy of 

minors, birthdate may be required by 

the website host to ensure the challenge 

platform meets the requirements of all 

privacy laws.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 3211–010] 

Power Authority of the State of New 

York; Notice of Availability of Draft 

Environmental Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for a new license to 

continue to operate and maintain the 

Hinckley (Gregory B. Jarvis) 

Hydroelectric Project (Jarvis Project). 

The Jarvis Project is located on West 

Canada Creek, near the Hamlet of 

Hinckley in the counties of Oneida and 

Herkimer, New York. 

On June 27, 2022, the Commission 

issued a notice indicating that staff 

intended to prepare a multi-project 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for 

both the Jarvis Project and Erie 

Boulevard Hydropower, L.P.’s West 

Canada Creek Hydroelectric Project, 

because the projects are located adjacent 

to each other. However, the Fiscal 

Responsibility Act of 2023 now requires 

that an EA ‘‘shall not exceed 75 pages, 

not including any citations or 

appendices’’ (Fiscal Responsibility Act 

of 2023, Pub. L. 118–5, 107, 137 Stat 42 

(2023)). A multi-project EA would have 

exceeded the page limit established in 

the Act, so staff has prepared a standalone draft Environmental Assessment 

(EA) for the Jarvis Project.
