Management.

Type of Review: Revision of an 

existing collection of information. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private

Local, or Tribal Governments.

Abstract: This is a request for the 

revision of the information collection 

for the regulations that govern the 

application for and approval by the 

Secretary of assessments by a private 

test publisher or State that are used to 

measure a student’s skills and abilities 

to determine eligibility for assistance 

through the Title IV student financial 

assistance programs authorized under 

the Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended, when a student does not have 

a high school diploma or its recognized 

equivalent. As of July 1, 2012, the new 

law eliminated all but the completion of 

a homeschool program as an eligibility 

alternative previously available. Due to 

these changes, there is a decreasing pool 

of student applicants who would be 

eligible to take a Department approved 

ability to benefit exam to determine 

Title IV student aid eligibility.

On September 13, 2013, DOE received

it will make all of the necessary 

commercial arrangements and will 

obtain any and all of the required 

regulatory approvals. 

The electric energy that TEC proposes 

to export to Canada would be surplus 

energy purchased from electric utilities 

and other entities within the United 

States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

TEC have previously been authorized by 

Presidential permits issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended,

transmission by third parties. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in this proceeding

above address in accordance with FERC

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to DOE’s National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after a determination is
