### 11857 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2013 / Notices

5 The Commission estimates that entities will spend $100 per hour. The $100 per hour estimate was used as the average hourly wage rate in the PRA section of the Internal Business Conduct Standards for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants final rule (see Duties Rules; Futures Commission Merchant and Introducing Broker Conflicts of Interest Rules; and Chief Compliance Officer Rules for Swap Dealers, Major Swap Participants, and Futures Commission Merchants, 77 FR 20128, 20194 (Apr. 3, 2012)) and the wage rate for CCOs under the DCO final rules (see Proposed Collection, Comment Request: Further Definition of ‘‘Swap,’’ ‘‘Security-Based Swap,’’ and ‘‘Security-Based Swap Agreement’’’; Mixed Swaps; Security-Based Swap Agreement Recordkeeping: Book-out Agreement Confirmation, 76 FR 69344, 69428 (Aug. 16, 2012)). As the Commission explained in the Internal Business Conduct Standards final rule, the estimate of $100 per hour was based on recent Bureau of Labor Statistics findings, including the mean hourly wage of an employee under occupation code 23–1011, ‘‘Lawyers,’’ that is employed by the ‘‘Securities and Commodity Contracts Intermediation and Brokerage Industry,’’ which is $85.20. The mean hourly wage of an employee under occupation code 11–3031, ‘‘Financial Manager,’’ in the same industry is $80.90. Additionally, SIFMA’s ‘‘Report on Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry—2011’’ estimates the average wage of a compliance attorney at $96.42 and a compliance specialist in the U.S. at $74.85 per hour. As in those rules, the Commission is using a $100 per hour wage rate in calculating the cost burdens imposed by this collection of information and requests comment on the accuracy of its estimate.

Full Text of Announcement I. Funding Opportunity Description

Purpose of Program: The Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD) program supports the enhancement, expansion, documentation, evaluation, and dissemination of innovative, cohesive models that are based on research and have demonstrated that they effectively— (1) Integrate standardsbased arts education into the core elementary and middle schoolcurriculum; (2) strengthen standardsbased arts instruction in these grades; and (3) improve students’ academic performance, including their skills in creating, performing, and responding to the arts. Projects funded through the AEMDD program are intended to increase the amount of nationally available information on effective models for arts education that integrate the arts with standards-based education
programs.

Priorities: This competition includes one absolute priority and four competitive preference priorities that are explained in the following paragraphs. Absolute priority 1 is from the notice of final priority, requirements, and definitions for this program, published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2005 (70 FR 16234). The competitive preference priorities are from the notice of supplemental priorities and definitions for discretionary grant programs, published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2010 (75 FR 78486), and corrected on May 12, 2011 (76 FR 27637) (Supplemental Priorities).

Absolute Priority: For FY 2013 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applicants from this competition, this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only applications that meet this priority.

This priority is: This priority supports projects that enhance, expand, document, evaluate, and disseminate innovative, cohesive models that are based on research and have demonstrated their effectiveness in (1) integrating standards-based arts education into the core elementary or middle school curriculum, (2) strengthening standards-based arts instruction in the elementary or middle school grades, and (3) improving the academic performance of students in elementary or middle school grades, including their skills in creating, performing, and responding to the arts.

In order to meet this priority, an applicant must demonstrate that the model project for which it seeks funding (1) serves only elementary school or middle school grades, or both, and (2) is linked to State and national standards intended to enable all students to meet challenging expectations and to improve student and school performance.

Note: National standards are the arts standards developed by the Consortium of National Arts Education Associations or another comparable set of national arts standards. The standards developed by the
