Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 134 / Monday, July 14, 2014 / Notices 40741 

accurately measure the performance of 

the project and how the proposed 

performance measure would be 

consistent with the performance 

measures established for the program 

funding the competition. 

(2) Baseline data. (i) Why each 

proposed baseline is valid; or (ii) if the 

applicant has determined that there are 

no established baseline data for a 

particular performance measure, an 

explanation of why there is no 

established baseline and of how and 

when, during the project period, the 

applicant would establish a valid 

baseline for the performance measure. 

(3) Performance targets. Why each 

proposed performance target is 

ambitious yet achievable compared to 

the baseline for the performance 

measure and when, during the project 

period, the applicant would meet the 

performance target(s). 

Note: The Secretary expects the applicant 

to consider measures and targets tied to their 

grant activities. The measures and targets 

should be sufficient to gauge the progress 

throughout the grant period, and show 

results by the end of the grant period. For 

technical assistance in developing effective 

performance measures, applicants are 

encouraged to review information provided 

by the Department’s Regional Educational 

Laboratories (RELs). The Department’s 

Regional Educational Laboratories (RELs) 

seek to build the capacity of States and 

school districts to incorporate data and 

research into education decision making. 

Each REL provides research support and 

technical assistance to its region but makes 

learning opportunities available to educators 

everywhere. For example, the REL Northeast 

and Islands has created the following 

resource on logic models: http://

relpacific.mcrel.org/ELM.html. 

(c) Data Collection and Reporting. The 

applicant must also describe in the 

application: (1) the data collection and 

reporting methods the applicant would 

use and why those methods are likely to 

yield reliable, valid, and meaningful 

performance data, and (2) the 

applicant’s capacity to collect and 

report reliable, valid, and meaningful 

performance data, as evidenced by highquality data collection, analysis, and 

reporting in other projects or research. 

Note: If the applicant does not have 

experience with collection and reporting of 

performance data through other projects or 

research, it should provide other evidence of 

its capacity to successfully carry out data 

collection and reporting for its proposed 

project. 

All grantees must submit an annual 

performance report with information 

that is responsive to these performance 

measures. 

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award, the Secretary may 

consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the 

extent to which a grantee has made 

‘‘substantial progress toward meeting 

the objectives in its approved 

application.’’ This consideration 

includes the review of a grantee’s 

progress in meeting the targets and 

projected outcomes in its approved 

application, and whether the grantee 

has expended funds in a manner that is 

consistent with its approved application 

and budget. In making a continuation 

grant, the Secretary also considers 

whether the grantee is operating in 

compliance with the assurances in its 

approved application, including those 

applicable to Federal civil rights laws 

that prohibit discrimination in programs 

or activities receiving Federal financial 

assistance from the Department (34 CFR 

100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2014, President Obama 

issued a Presidential Memorandum– 

Establishing a Quadrennial Energy 

Review. To accomplish this review, the 

Presidential Memorandum establishes a 

Quadrennial Energy Review Task Force 

to be co-chaired by the Director of the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

40742 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 134 / Monday, July 14, 2014 / Notices 

Office of Science and Technology 

Policy, and the Director of the Domestic 

Policy Council. Under the Presidential 

Memorandum, the Secretary of Energy 

shall provide support to the Task Force, 

including support for coordination 

activities related to the preparation of 

the Quadrennial Energy Review Report, 

policy analysis and modeling, and 

stakeholder engagement. 

The DOE, as the Secretariat for the 

Quadrennial Energy Review Task Force, 

will hold a series of public meetings to 

discuss and receive comments on issues 

related to the Quadrennial Energy 

Review. 

The initial focus for the Quadrennial 

Energy Review will be our Nation’s 

infrastructure for transporting, 

transmitting, storing and delivering 

energy. Our current infrastructure is 

increasingly challenged by 

transformations in energy supply, 

markets, and patterns of end use; issues 

of aging and capacity; impacts of 

climate change; and cyber and physical 

threats. Any vulnerability in this 

infrastructure may be exacerbated by the 

increasing interdependencies of energy 

systems with water, 

telecommunications, transportation, and 

emergency response systems. The first 

Quadrennial Energy Review Report will 

serve as a roadmap to help address these 

challenges. 

The Department of Energy has a broad 

role in energy policy development and 

the largest role in implementing the 

Federal Government’s energy research 

and development portfolio. Many other 

executive departments and agencies also 

play key roles in developing and 

implementing policies governing energy 

resources and consumption, as well as 

associated environmental impacts. In 

addition, non-Federal actors are crucial 

contributors to energy policies. Because 

most energy and related infrastructure is 

owned by private entities, investment 

by and engagement of the private sector 

is necessary to develop and implement 

effective policies. State and local 

policies; the views of nongovernmental, 

environmental, faith-based, labor, and 

other social organizations; and 

contributions from the academic and 

non-profit sectors are also critical to the 

development and implementation of 

effective energy policies. 

An interagency Quadrennial Energy 

Review Task Force, which includes 

members from all relevant executive 

departments and agencies (agencies), 

will develop an integrated review of 

energy policy that integrates all of these 

perspectives. It will build on the 

foundation provided in the 

Administration’s Blueprint for a Secure 

Energy Future of March 30, 2011, and 

Climate Action Plan released on June 

25, 2013. The Task Force will offer 

recommendations on what additional 

actions it believes would be appropriate. 

These may include recommendations on 

additional executive or legislative 

actions to address the energy challenges 

and opportunities facing the Nation. 

August 8, 2014 Public Meeting: Rail, 

Barge, and Truck Transportation. On 

August 8, 2014, the DOE will hold a 

public meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The 

August 8, 2014 public meeting will 

feature facilitated panel discussions, 

followed by an open microphone 

session. Persons desiring to speak 

during the open microphone session at 

the public meeting should come 

prepared to speak for no more than 5 

minutes and will be accommodated on 

a first-come, first-served basis, 

according to the order in which they 

register to speak on a sign-in sheet 

available at the meeting location, on the 

morning of the meeting. 

In advance of the meeting, DOE 

anticipates making publicly available a 

briefing memorandum providing useful 

background information regarding the 

topics under discussion at the meeting. 

DOE will post this memorandum on its 

Web site: http://energy.gov.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: Complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

7 copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the internet in lieu 

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site (www.ferc.gov) 

under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link. Persons 

unable to file electronically should 

submit an original and 5 copies of the 

protest or intervention to the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426.
