This study is designed to measure the 

efficacy and implementation of the 

Write to Succeed. The evaluation team 

plans to conduct an independent 

evaluation using a school-level, cluster 

randomized control trial design to 

assess the program’s impact on teachers’ 

practices and beliefs and students’ 

language and literacy outcomes. The 

evaluation will also assess the 

implementation of the program and how 

it may be effectively scaled. The 

evaluation will take place in 40 schools 

across an estimated 10 districts in New 

Mexico and will focus on teachers and 

students in Grade 4–8. The evaluation 

will produce a report and presentations 

to study participants, practitioners, 

policymakers, and researchers, and 

infographics and blog posts for a wider 

audience of educators and 

policymakers. These will be designed to 

inform district and school leaders and 

teachers about scaffolded writing 

practices that could be beneficial for 

English learner students and all 

students.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice for Request for Information on 

Progression to Net-Zero Emission 

Propulsion Technologies for the Rail 

Sector; Reopening of Public Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Request for information; 

reopening of public comment period. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy 

(EERE) published a request for 

information (RFI) on November 27, 

2023, inviting interested parties to 

provide input regarding the state of 

technology on the progression to netzero emission propulsion technologies 

for the rail industry. DOE requested 

public comments by January 12, 2023. 

DOE received requests for an extension 

of the public comment period. DOE 

reviewed the requests and has 

determined it is necessary and 

appropriate to reopen the comment 

period to allow comments to be 

submitted until February 12, 2024. 

DATES: The comment period for the RFI 

published on November 27, 2023 (88 FR 

82870), which closed on January 12, 

2024, is reopened. Responses to this RFI 

must be received no later than February 

12, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to 

submit comments electronically to 

GreenRail@ee.doe.gov. Include ‘‘State of 

the Rail Industry’’ in the subject line of 

the email. Only electronic responses 

will be accepted. The complete RFI 

document is located at https://eereexchange.energy.gov/ 

Default.aspx#FoaIdf0ca0a9f-6e0e-4175- 

b20a-1bdbb682d705. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions may be addressed to Ben 

Simon at GreenRail@ee.doe.gov or 240– 

562–1591. Further instruction can be 

found in the RFI document posted on 

EERE Exchange. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

National Blueprint for Transportation 

Decarbonization set the goal to achieve 

net-zero carbon emissions in the 

transportation sector—including rail by 

2050. This transformation to net-zero 

emission technologies requires 

coordination among all aspects of the 

rail supply chain, including feedstock 

supply, alternative fuel production, 

locomotive engine manufacturers, safety 

implementation, customer demand, and 

government regulation. To develop a 

national strategy to decarbonize the rail 

sector, two critical questions must be 

addressed: 

1—Which alternative rail propulsion 

technologies are most promising? 

2—What is the timeline for the rail 

sector to transition to net-zero emission 

technologies? 

The purpose of this RFI is to 

understand what is driving the rail 

sector towards adopting alternative 

propulsion technologies, which 

technologies seem most promising, and 

what are the key barriers to achieving 

the transition to net-zero emissions by 

2050. 

Confidential Business Information: 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person 

submitting information that he or she 

believes to be confidential and exempt 

by law from public disclosure should 

submit via email two well-marked 

copies: one copy of the document 

marked ‘‘confidential’’ including all the 

information believed to be confidential, 

and one copy of the document marked 

‘‘non-confidential’’ with the information 

believed to be confidential deleted. 

Submit these documents via email. DOE 

will make its own determination about 

the confidential status of the 

information and treat it according to its 

determination. 

Signing Authority: This document of 

the Department of Energy was signed on 

January 11, 2024, by Jeffery Marootian,
