structures when done in accordance 

with applicable regulations, including 

those regulations applying to removal of 

asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls 

(PCBs), and other hazardous materials. 

Application of the CE will be limited 

to the following NBRC activities, which 

would not involve the demolition of 

structures that are listed on or eligible 

for listing on the National Register of 

Historic Properties, or improvement 

activities outside the footprint of the 

existing structure: 

• Grants to support demolition or

improvement of buildings or structures 

to support economic development 

activities as specified in 40 U.S.C. 

15501(a). 

III. Documentation of CE and Public

Notice

The NBRC will document the use of 

the above CEs for each project to which 

they are applied and will maintain this 

documentation in the project’s records 

in the NBRC’s online file storage system. 

The CEs will be documented in a 

‘‘Memorandum for Record’’ format to 

stay consistent across projects. NBRC 

annually provides required NEPA 

dedicated training to our State, regional 

and local partners, as well as our 

grantees. NBRC’s NEPA process, 

including all templates, guidance 

documents, procedures, etc., are made 

available to the public on NBRC’s 

NEPA-dedicated web page. 

IV. Consideration of Extraordinary

Circumstances

If an agency determines that a CE 

covers a proposed action, the agency 

must evaluate the proposed action for 

extraordinary circumstances in which a 

normally excluded action may have a 

significant effect. 40 CFR 1501.4(b). 

NBRC does not currently have its own 

NEPA implementing procedures to 

guide its application of extraordinary 

circumstances. Until NBRC establishes 

NEPA implementing procedures, for 

purposes of considering extraordinary 

circumstances in connection with the 

Denali Commission CEs discussed in 

this notice, NBRC will consider whether 

the proposed action has the potential to 

result in significant effects by 

considering the factors listed in the 

Denali Commission’s definition of 

extraordinary circumstances, including, 

but not limited to, a reasonable 

likelihood of significant impacts on 

environmentally sensitive resources; 

threatening a violation of a Federal, 

Tribal, State, or local law or requirement 

imposed for the protection of the 

environment; or disproportionate and 

adverse effects on communities with 

environmental justice concerns. NBRC 

would analyze proposed actions for the 

extraordinary circumstances in the 

Denali Commission’s NEPA 

implementing procedures and 

consistent with the CEQ NEPA 

regulations. 45 CFR 900.204 (c). NBRC 

will then assess whether an 

extraordinary circumstance is present 

and if so, whether the CE may 

nonetheless be applied, consistent with 

40 CFR 1501.4(b) or any successor 

regulation. If NBRC cannot apply a CE 

to a particular proposed action due to 

extraordinary circumstances, NBRC will 

prepare an EA or EIS, consistent with 40 

CFR 1501.4(b)(2), or determine if the 

action is covered under an existing 

NEPA document. NBRC will document 

its consideration of extraordinary 

circumstances as part of the 

Memorandum for Record discussed in 

Part III above. 

V. Consultation With the Denali

Commission and Determination of

Appropriateness

NBRC worked with the Denali 

Commission to identify Denali 

Commission CEs that could apply to 

NBRC proposed actions and began 

consultation in September 2023. During 

this consultation, the agencies discussed 

whether the categories of NBRC 

proposed actions would be 

appropriately covered by the Denali 

Commission CEs; each Agency’s process 

for review of projects with respect to 

CEs; and the extraordinary 

circumstances that NBRC should 

consider before applying these CEs to 

NBRC’s proposed actions. The 

consultation continued through early 

November 2023, and consisted of 

detailed email exchanges and virtual 

meetings with the Denali Commission’s 

lead reviewer of NEPA-related items. 

At the conclusion of that process, the 

agencies determined that NBRC’s 

proposed use of the CEs as described in 

this notice would be appropriate 

because the categories of actions for 

which NBRC plans to use the CEs are 

covered by the Denali Commission CEs. 

VI. Conclusion

This notice documents adoption of

the Denali Commission CEs listed above 

in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 4336c(3), 

and they are available for use by NBRC 

effective immediately.

Follow-Up Survey (TFS) and 2024–25 

Principal Follow-Up. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0617. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 26,049. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 4,337. 

Abstract: This request is to conduct 

data collection for the two follow-up 

surveys to the 2023–24 National 

Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS)— 

the 2024–25 Teacher Follow-up Survey 

(TFS) and the 2024–25 Principal 

Follow-up Survey (PFS). The 2024–25 

TFS is a one year follow-up of a 

subsample of teachers who responded to 

the 2023–24 NTPS, and the 2024–25 

PFS is a one year follow-up of 

principals who responded to the 2023– 

24 NTPS. The TFS and PFS are 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES), of the 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES), 

within the U.S. Department of 

Education (ED). 

The 2024–25 TFS and 2024–25 PFS, 

like earlier TFS and PFS collections, 

will measure the one year attrition rates 

of teachers and principals, respectively, 

who leave the profession and will 

permit comparisons of stayers, movers, 

and leavers to fulfill the legislative 

mandate for NCES to report on the 

‘‘condition of education in the United 

States.’’ ‘‘Stayers’’ are teachers or 

principals who remain in the same 

school between the NTPS year of data 

collection and the follow-up year.
