Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Notices 21227 

• Projects to foster integration of 

MBW with the community: These 

include improvements to the MBW 

Annex gate at 7th and K Streets SE. and 

improvements to the building facades, 

fencing, infrastructure, pedestrian 

amenities, and landscaping throughout 

the installation. 

Alternative 1—Site A. Under 

Alternative 1, the Marine Corps would 

acquire privately owned land and a 

government-owned right-of-way (ROW) 

for the proposed BEQ Complex. 

Alternative 1, Site A, consists of 3.0 

acres in Squares 929 and 930 and an 

approximate 340-foot segment of L 

Street between 8th and 9th Streets SE. 

The affected segment of L Street SE. 

would be closed to vehicular and 

pedestrian traffic and street parking. For 

the purposes of this EIS, it is expected 

that the replacement BEQ Complex 

would be constructed within the L 

Street ROW. 

Alternative 2—Site B. Under 

Alternative 2, the Marine Corps would 

acquire privately-owned land and a 

government-owned ROW for the 

replacement BEQ Complex. Alternative 

2, Site B, consists of 1.8 acres in Square 

976 and an approximate 315-foot 

segment of the L Street ROW between 

10th and 11th Streets SE. Unlike 

Alternative 1, there would be no 

construction within the L Street ROW. 

This segment of L Street would be 

closed to vehicular traffic and on-street 

parking, but it would remain open for 

pedestrians. No structures would be 

constructed within the adjacent Virginia 

Avenue Park, and the park would 

remain open to public use. The segment 

of the ROW and the adjacent portion of 

Virginia Avenue Park are included 

within this site as a means of satisfying 

the AT/FP vehicular standoff distance, 

while also allowing public use to 

continue. 

Alternative 3—Site C. The land 

comprising Site C is federally-owned, 

but subject to a master development 

plan and agreement between GSA and a 

private developer (Forest City 

Washington) authorized by prior special 

legislation. An agreement with Forest 

City Washington and GSA to transfer 

Site C to the DoN/USMC would be 

required in order for Site C to be 

selected. Under Alternative 3, the 

Marine Corps obtain appropriate real 

estate interest in a portion of the 

federally owned land at the Southeast 

Federal Center (SEFC) for the proposed 

replacement BEQ Complex and a 3-story 

above ground parking structure. 

Alternative 3, Site C, is 2.1 acres within 

Square 853, bounded by M Street SE. to 

the north and Tingey Street SE. to the 

south. In addition to having to reach an 

agreement with Forest City Washington 

and GSA, under this alternative, the 

SEFC ‘‘The Yards’’ Redevelopment 

Master Plan would need to be revised. 

Alternative 4—Site D. Under 

Alternative 4, the Marine Corps would 

establish a tenant site on 1.67 acres of 

federally owned land at the northern 

end of Square 953, within the boundary 

of the Washington Navy Yard (WNY). 

The existing land use includes an 

administrative building (Building 169) 

as well as tennis and basketball courts 

east of Building 169, all of which have 

been identified as areas for potential 

redevelopment in the WNY Master Plan 

(approved by the National Capital 

Planning Commission on November 6, 

2014). Also included is the parking lot 

south of Building 169 (16 spaces) and 

potentially a portion of Poor Street that 

connects Parsons Avenue and 10th 

Street SE. BEQ construction on this site 

would require the demolition of 

Building 169, which is currently 

occupied by MBW functions. The 

existing below-grade parking at the 

Building 20 site would be maintained to 

satisfy the BEQ Complex parking 

requirement. 

Alternative 5—Site E. Under 

Alternative 5, the Marine Corps would 

use 0.89-acre within the boundary of the 

MBW Annex (Squares 881 and 881W). 

For the purposes of this EIS, it is 

expected that the replacement BEQ 

Complex construction would occur 

within the 6th Street L’Enfant Plan 

viewshed between Building 25 (Annex 

building) and Building 26 (Annex 

parking garage). The new facility would 

be sited as close to Building 25 as 

possible and would connect via a 

breezeway between the replacement 

BEQ Complex and the western end of 

Building 25. The site currently contains 

a basketball court that would be 

relocated to the north of Building 25. 

The existing below-grade parking at the 

Building 20 site would be maintained to 

satisfy the BEQ Complex parking 

requirement. 

The Marine Corps has not identified 

a preferred alternative at this time. Each 

of the action alternatives involve tradeoffs among economic, technical, 

environmental, and Marine Corps 

statutory mission requirements. A 

preferred alternative will be selected in 

the Final EIS after public comments on 

the Draft EIS are evaluated.

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;

Title of Collection: Reaffirmation 

Agreement. 

OMB Control Number: 1845—NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households, Private 

Sector, State, Local and Tribal 

Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 28,880. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,465. 

Abstract: The HEA provides for a 

maximum amount that a borrower can 

receive per year and in total. If a 

borrower receives more than one of 

these maximum amounts, the borrower 

is rendered ineligible for further title IV 

aid (including Federal Pell Grants, 

Federal Supplemental Educational 

Opportunity Grants, Federal WorkStudy, and Teacher Education 

Assistance for Higher Education 

(TEACH) Grants) unless the borrower 

repays the excess amount or agreed to 

repay the excess amount according to 

the terms and conditions of the 

promissory note that the borrower 

signed. Agreeing to repay the excess 

amount according to the terms and 

conditions of the promissory note that 

the borrower signed is called 

‘‘reaffirmation’’. ED and FFEL Program 

lenders will use the information on this 

form to enforce the borrower’s 

obligation to repay the total FFEL or 

Direct Loan debt that the borrower 

obtained including the amounts in 

excess of the annual or aggregate loan 

limit.

Title of Collection: Understanding the 

Impact of Providing Information to 

Parents about the Role of Algebra II: An 

Opportunistic Study. 

OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State,

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1,468. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 132. 

Abstract: In June 2013, Texas 

Governor Rick Perry signed House Bill 

(HB) 5 into law, which changed high 

school graduation requirements for 

public school students in Texas. Prior to 

this, most students were required to 

complete algebra II in order to graduate 

from high school. After the enactment of 

HB 5, completing algebra II is optional— 

students may elect to complete algebra 

II as part of two of the graduation plans 

offered under HB 5. REL Southwest is 

working with the Texas Education 

Agency (TEA) to carry out an 

opportunistic experiment to determine 

if directly providing parents/guardians, 

prior to students’ selection of their 

courses, with information on the 

importance of completing algebra II for 

college access and success has an 

impact on the percentage of students 

who enroll in and complete algebra II by 

the end of their junior year. REL 

Southwest will investigate the impact of 

providing parents/guardians with 

information about the role of algebra II 

in college access and success in a 

randomized controlled trial in which 

the treatment schools provide parents/

guardians of students with information 

about the role of algebra II in college 

access and success, while control 

schools continue business-as-usual.
