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

5The 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. 

Burden statement: The Commission 

estimates the burden of this collection

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 school 

curriculum; (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
