4. Performance Measures: The 

Secretary has established five 

performance measures for assessing the 

effectiveness of the SLP. The SLP 

performance measures are: 

(1) The percentage of program 

graduates who are certified to become a 

principal or assistant principal. 

(2) The percentage of program 

graduates who are certified and hired as 

a principal or assistant principal in a 

high-need LEA. 

(3) The percentage of program 

graduates certified through the program 

who are hired as a principal or assistant 

principal in a high-need LEA and who 

remain in that position for at least two 

years. 

(4) The percentage of principals and 

assistant principals who complete the 

SLP-funded professional development 

program and whose schools 

demonstrate positive change, no change, 

or negative change based on pre- and 

post-school site measures, of which one 

measure must include, if available, 

student growth (e.g., at least one grade 

level in an academic year). 

(5) The percentage of program 

graduates who are rated ‘‘effective’’ or 

‘‘highly effective’’ as measured by a U.S. 

Department of Education program 

approved principal evaluation system, if 

available. 

Note: Applicants that receive funding 

under this program will be required to collect 

and submit data on the measures that are 

aligned to the project design in the annual 

performance report for each performance 

period. Specifically, for performance measure 

4, grantees may include school site measures 

such as: Student disciplinary actions, teacher 

attendance, parent engagement, teachers 

rated ‘‘effective’’ or ‘‘highly effective,’’ or 

other school climate measures. For 

performance measure 5, where available, we 

are interested in collecting the percentage of 

SLP graduates who are rated ‘‘effective’’ or 

‘‘highly effective’’ after completing the SLP 

funded professional development program 

for current principals or after one year in the 

position as principals for participants that 

became certified through the SLP funded 

project using a principal evaluation that has 

met the requirements and has been approved 

by programs such as: Race to the Top, ESEA 

Flexibility, School Improvement Grants, or 

the FY 2012 Teacher Incentive Fund 

principal evaluation system requirements. If 

a system is not yet approved by one of these 

programs we will determine appropriate data 

collection on a case-by-case basis. 

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: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act

On June 4, 2008, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–196–C, which authorized 

Minnesota Power to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Canada 

as a power marketer for a five-year term 

using existing international 

transmission facilities. That authority 

expires on June 4, 2013. On April 25, 

2013, Minnesota Power filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–196–C for an additional five-year 

term. 

In its application, Minnesota Power 

states that it owns electric generation 

and transmission facilities and sells and 

distributes electricity within its 

northern Minnesota service territory. 

The electric energy that Minnesota 

Power proposes to export to Canada 

would be surplus energy purchased

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Interrogatory on Fuel and 

Energy Purchase Practices (FERC Form 

No. 580). 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0131. 

Type of Request: Three-year approval 

of the FERC Form No. 580. 

Abstract: FERC Form No. 580 is 

collected in even numbered years. The 

Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act 

(PURPA) 1 amended the Federal Power 

Act (FPA) and directed the Commission 

to make comprehensive biennial 

reviews of certain matters related to 

automatic adjustment clauses (AACs) in 

wholesale rate schedules used by public 

utilities subject to the Commission’s 

jurisdiction. Specifically, the 

Commission is required to examine 

whether the clauses effectively provide 

the incentives for efficient use of 

resources and whether the clauses 

reflect only those costs that are either 

‘‘subject to periodic fluctuations’’ or 

‘‘not susceptible to precise 

determinations’’ in rate cases prior to 

the time the costs are incurred. 

The Commission is also required to 

review the practices of each public 

utility under AACs ‘‘to insure efficient 

use of resources under such clauses.’’ 2

In response to the PURPA directive, the 

Commission (Docket Number IN79–6– 

000) established an investigation. 

Beginning in 1982, the Commission 

collected ‘‘Interrogatory on Fuel and 

Energy Purchase Practices’’ data every 

other year. 

In 2010, the Commission redesigned 

the form to collect the information 

electronically through use of a standard 

form. Based on filer comments in 

response to the new electronic form 

used in the 2010 and 2012 collections, 

FERC recommends the following 

changes to the form: 

Question 1 

—Repair the email field to eliminate 

error messages. 

Question 2 

—Add a column labeled ‘‘Is this AAC a 

fuel adjustment clause?’’ 

—Add a column labeled ‘‘Tariff volume 

number containing’’. This information 

will aid staff in locating AACs. 

—Remove the column and, thus, the 

request for information titled: 

Æ ‘‘Type/s of AAC’’ 

Æ ‘‘Type of costs that were passed 

through the AAC—if fuel, state fuel 

type’’ 

There has been an increasing number 

of AAC-related cost types. This field 

makes it difficult for Commission staff 

to repopulate the dropdowns for this 

column without additional OMB 

approval. The information otherwise 

gained from respondents supplying the 

information collected in these columns 

will not be lost. Staff will locate and
