Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 78 / Friday, April 23, 2010 / Notices 21285 

Types of Priorities 

When inviting applications for a 

competition using one or more 

priorities, we designate the type of each 

priority as absolute, competitive 

preference, or invitational through a 

notice the Federal Register. The effect 

of each type of priority follows: 

Absolute priority: Under an absolute 

priority, we consider only applications 

that meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(3)). 

Competitive preference priority: 

Under a competitive preference priority, 

we give competitive preference to an 

application by (1) awarding additional 

points, depending on the extent to 

which the application meets the priority 

(34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) selecting 

an application that meets the priority 

over an application of comparable merit 

that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(2)(ii)). 

Invitational priority: Under an 

invitational priority, we are particularly 

interested in applications that meet the 

priority. However, we do not give an 

application that meets the priority a 

preference over other applications (34 

CFR 75.105(c)(1)). 

Final Priority: We will announce the 

final priority in a notice in the Federal 

Register. We will determine the final 

priority after considering responses to 

this notice and other information 

available to the Department. This notice 

does not preclude us from proposing 

additional priorities, requirements, 

definitions, or selection criteria, subject 

to meeting applicable rulemaking 

requirements. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we choose 

to use this priority, we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register. 

Executive Order 12866: This notice 

has been reviewed in accordance with 

Executive Order 12866. Under the terms 

of the order, we have assessed the 

potential costs and benefits of this 

proposed regulatory action. 

The potential costs associated with 

this proposed regulatory action are 

those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering this program effectively 

and efficiently. 

In assessing the potential costs and 

benefits—both quantitative and 

qualitative—of this proposed regulatory 

action, we have determined that the 

benefits of the proposed priority justify 

the costs. 

Discussion of Costs and Benefits 

The benefits of the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Programs have been well 

established over the years in that similar 

projects have been completed 

successfully. This proposed priority will 

generate new knowledge through 

research and development. 

Another benefit of this proposed 

priority is that the establishment of a 

new RRTC will improve the lives of 

individuals with disabilities. The new 

RRTC will disseminate and promote the 

use of new information that will 

improve the options for individuals 

with disabilities to obtain, retain, and 

advance in employment. 

Intergovernmental Review: This 

program is not subject to Executive 

Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 

CFR part 79.

l. Project Description: The existing 

Bowersock dam and powerhouse 

currently operates under an exemption 

(Project No. 2644) as a small 

hydropower project of 5 megawatts 

(MW) or less. The proposed project 

would consist of the existing Bowersock 

dam and two powerhouses; the existing 

powerhouse on the South bank of the 

Kansas River, and a proposed 

powerhouse on the North bank of the 

Kansas River. The proposed project 

would have a total capacity of 6.6 MW 

and generate an estimated 33 gigawatthours annually. The electricity 

produced by the project would be sold 

to a local utility. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: 

(1) The existing 665-foot-long, 17-foothigh timber-crib Bowersock Dam; (2) 

raising the existing flashboards from 4 

feet high to 5.5 feet high; (3) the existing 

4.3-mile-long reservoir, having a normal 

water surface elevation of 813.5 feet 

mean sea level; (4) the existing South 

powerhouse, containing seven turbine/ 

generator units having an installed 

capacity of 2.012 MW; (5) a proposed 

North powerhouse with four turbine/ 

generator units, having an installed 

capacity of 4.6 MW; (6) a proposed 20- 

foot-wide roller gate; (7) a proposed 

intake flume with trashracks; (8) a 

proposed 150-foot-long canoe portage 

and fishing platform located along the 

North bank of the Kansas River; (10) a 

proposed 765-foot-long, 12-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line connecting to an 

existing 535-foot-long 2.3-kV 

transmission line; and (8) appurtenant 

facilities. 

The project would be operated in a 

run-of-river mode, where water levels in 

the reservoir would be maintained near 

the top of the flash boards. To avoid 

potential flooding of upstream lands, 

the project would incorporate a 20-footwide roller gate designed to release 

flows up to 2,600 cfs. In addition, the 

flashboards would be designed to 

collapse during periods of high inflows 

when the water surface elevation rises 6 

inches above the top of the flashboards.
