**Revision to Military Freight Traffic Unified Rules Publication (MFTURP)**  **NO. 1, Section F, Air Transportation Service Provider Rules and Domestic**  **Air Tender Freight Carrier Registration Program (FCRP)** 

**AGENCY :**  Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense.

**SUMMARY :**  Air Mobility Command (AMC) is providing notice that it intends to change Domestic Air Tender policy within the MFTURP NO. 1 to restrict registration in the FCRP for Domestic Air Tenders to Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) Transportation Service Providers (TSP) only. CRAF TSPs may, if they choose to, act through a freight forwarder, logistics company, or broker. This change only affects domestic air tender TSPs such as airlines, logistics companies, freight forwarders, and brokers. The purpose of the new policy is to strengthen the CRAF program in support of the national defense airlift objectives to ensure military and civil airlift resources are capable of meeting the defense mobilization and deployment requirements supporting U.S. Defense & Foreign Policy.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received by HQ AMC/A4TC NLT (30) days after the post date.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit comments to Air Mobility Command, Directorate of Logistics, Cargo & Traffic Management Branch (A4TC), Commercial Services Team, 402 Scott Drive, Unit 2A2, Scott AFB, IL 62225–5308. Electronic comments or requests for additional information may be sent by email to: org.amca4–67@us.af.mil.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  AMC/A4TC, Commercial Services Team, (618) 229–4684, THOMAS J. TRUMBULL II, Colonel, USAF, Chief Air Transportation Division Directorate of Logistics.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Reference: 10 USC 2304(c)(3), Industrial Mobilization, exception to full and open competition is essential to maintain adequate airlift services in case of a national emergency requiring activation of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF). The use of the Industrial Mobilization exception to limit competition to CRAF carriers effectively supports the implementation of the National Airlift Policy by incentivizing carriers to keep vital commercial airlift resources available as a mobilization base in the event of a national or military emergency. The CRAF participation eligibility requirement, which will be included in the domestic air tender program, supports the development and maintenance of a robust CRAF program.

Background: CRAF is a voluntary program through which the nation’s airlines provide stand-by commitments to support mobilization as a supplement to DOD organic airlift capacity. CRAF participants provide civilian airlift assets needed to support military operations and mobilization requirements enabling the DOD to meet peacetime requirements, surge needs, and mobilization requirements for major crises.

Title of Collection: Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017 (MGLS:2017) 2015 Field Test.

OMB Control Number: 1850–0911. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.


### 52308 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 170 / Wednesday, September 3, 2014 / Notices

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10,040.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,386.

Abstract: The Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017 (MGLS:2017), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is the first study to follow a nationally-representative sample of students as they enter and move through the middle grades (grades 6–8). The data collected through repeated measures of key constructs will provide a rich descriptive picture of the academic experiences and development of students during these critical years and will allow researchers to examine associations between contextual factors and student outcomes. The study will focus on student achievement in mathematics and literacy, along with measures of student executive function, socioemotional well-being and other outcomes. The study will also include an oversample of students with different types of disabilities that will provide descriptive information on their outcomes, educational experiences, and special education services. Baseline data for the MGLS:2017 will be collected from a nationally-representative sample of 6th grade students in spring of 2017 with annual follow-ups in spring 2018 and spring 2019, when most of the students in the sample will be in grades 7 and 8, respectively. This request is to conduct the MGLS:2017 field test in the Spring of 2015, to evaluate the proposed assessments, instruments, and data collection procedures in a real world setting; identify potential challenges that could hinder the national effort; and test various procedures and strategies to inform plans for the national study.
