Altus AFB and McConnell AFB are 

being considered for either the FTU or 

MOB 1 missions; no base would receive 

both the FTU and MOB 1 missions. 

Scoping: In order to effectively define 

the full range of issues to be evaluated 

in the EIS, the Air Force is soliciting 

scoping comments from interested state 

and federal agencies and interested 

members of the public. The Air Force 

will hold a series of scoping meetings to 

further solicit input regarding the scope 

of the proposed action and alternatives. 

1. Scoping meetings will be held in 

the local communities near the 

alternative basing locations. The 

scheduled dates, times, locations and 

addresses for the scoping meetings will 

also be published in local media a 

minimum of 15 days prior to the 

scoping meetings. 

1. Dates: The Air Force intends to 

hold scoping meetings from 5:00 p.m. to 

8:00 p.m. in the following communities 

on the following dates: 

1. 1. Altus Air Force Base—April 9, 

2013 at the Southwest Technology 

Center, 711 West Tamarack Road, 

Altus, OK 

1. 2. McConnell Air Force Base—April 

11, 2013 at the Eugene M. Hughes 

Metropolitan Complex, 5015 East 

29th Street N, Wichita, KS 

1. 3. Fairchild Air Force Base—April 16, 

2013 at the Lincoln Center, 1316 

North Lincoln Street, Spokane, WA 

1. 4. Grand Forks Air Force Base—April

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

project Web site provides more 

information on the EIS and can be used 

to submit scoping comments; scoping 

comments may also be submitted to the 

address below. As a convenience for 

comments submitted by mail, a 

comment form is available for download 

on the Web site. Comments will be 

accepted at any time during the 

environmental impact analysis process. 

However, to ensure the Air Force has 

sufficient time to consider public input 

in the preparation of the Draft EIS, 

scoping comments should be submitted 

to the Web site or the address listed 

below by May 17, 2013.

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: Upward Bound 

and Upward Bound Math Science 

Annual Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–NEW. 

Type of Review: New information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector, State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 992. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 16,864. 

Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education is requesting a new Annual 

Performance Report (APR) for grants 

under the regular Upward Bound (UB) 

and Upward Bound Math and Science 

(UBMS) Programs. The Department is 

requesting a new APR because of the 

implementation of the Higher Education 

Opportunity Act revisions to the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended, the 

authorizing statute for the programs. 

The APRs are used to evaluate the 

performance of grantees prior to 

awarding continuation funding and to 

assess a grantee’s prior experience at the 

end of each budget period. The 

Department will also aggregate the data 

to provide descriptive information on 

the programs and to analyze the impact 

of the program on the academic progress 

of participating students.

Decision and Order Granting a Waiver 

to LG Electronics, Inc. From the 

Department of Energy Residential 

Refrigerator and Refrigerator-Freezer 

Test Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Decision and Order. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) gives notice of the 

decision and order (Case No. RF–024) 

that grants to LG Electronics, Inc. (LG) 

a waiver from the DOE electric 

refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer test 

procedures for determining the energy 

consumption of residential refrigeratorfreezers for the basic models set forth in 

its petition for waiver. Under today’s 

decision and order, LG shall be required 

to test and rate its refrigerator-freezers 

with dual compressors using an 

alternate test procedure that takes this 

technology into account when 

measuring energy consumption. 

DATES: This Decision and Order is 

effective March 26, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE gives 

notice of the issuance of its decision and 

order as set forth below. The decision 

and order grants LG a waiver from the 

applicable residential refrigerator and 

refrigerator-freezer test procedures 

found in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, 

appendix A1 for certain basic models of 

refrigerator-freezers with dual 

compressors, provided that LG tests and 

rates such products using the alternate 

test procedure described in this notice. 

Today’s decision prohibits LG from 

making representations concerning the 

energy efficiency of these products 

unless the product has been tested 

consistent with the provisions and 

restrictions in the alternate test 

procedure set forth in the decision and 

order below, and the representations 

fairly disclose the test results. 

Distributors, retailers, and private 

labelers are held to the same standard 

when making representations regarding 

the energy efficiency of these products.

Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 

Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291– 

6309, as codified) established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles, a program covering most 

major household appliances, which 

includes the residential electric 

refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers 

that are the focus of this notice.1 Part B 

includes definitions, test procedures, 

labeling provisions, energy conservation 

standards, and the authority to require 

information and reports from 

manufacturers. Further, Part B 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 

prescribe test procedures that are 

reasonably designed to produce results 

which measure energy efficiency, 

energy use, or estimated operating costs, 

and that are not unduly burdensome to 

conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) The test 

procedure for residential electric 

refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers is 

set forth in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, 

appendix A1.
