outcome-related goals for programs, and 

measuring program results against those 

goals. The purpose of the Rehabilitation 

Capacity Building for Traditionally 

Underserved Populations program is to 

enhance the capacity and increase the 

participation of minority institutions in 

programs that are funded under the Act, 

as well as to improve the delivery of VR 

services to people with disabilities, 

especially people with disabilities from 

minority backgrounds. 

In order to measure the success of 

capacity building grantees in meeting 

this goal, each grantee is required to 

evaluate its activities based upon clear, 

specific performance and outcome 

measures and report the results of the 

evaluation in its annual performance 

report. At a minimum, the annual 

performance reports must include the 

following: 

For priority 1, grantees must report 

on—(1) The number and type of new 

degree-granting programs established as 

a result of participation in this program 

and the number of students enrolled; (2) 

the number of undergraduate and 

graduate students who graduate from 

programs participating in this program 

and the number who go to work for the 

public VR program or related 

rehabilitation agencies; and (3) the 

number of institutions receiving Council 

on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) 

accreditation as a result of participation 

in this program. 

For priority 2, grantees must report 

on—(1) The number of minority entities 

and Indian Tribes that have received 

training and technical assistance; (2) the 

number of applications submitted by 

first-time and repeat applicants to RSA 

and NIDRR for funding; (3) the number 

of applications by first-time and repeat 

applicants recommended for funding by 

RSA and NIDRR; (4) the number of 

applications by first-time and repeat 

applicants funded by RSA and NIDRR; 

and (5) the number of funded programs 

by first-time and repeat applicants that 

have been implemented and are 

operational.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Assessment Governing Board 

is established under section 412 of the 

National Education Statistics Act of 

1994, as amended. 

The Board is established to formulate 

policy guidelines for the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

(NAEP). The Board’s responsibilities 

include selecting subject areas to be 

assessed, developing assessment 

specifications and frameworks, 

developing appropriate student 

achievement levels for each grade and 

subject tested, developing standards and 

procedures for interstate and national 

comparisons, developing guidelines for 

reporting and disseminating results, and 

releasing initial NAEP results to the 

public. 

On May 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the 

Assessment Development Committee 

will meet in closed session to review 

NAEP mathematics items for grades 4 

and 8 for the 2011 operational 

assessment and the 2013 pilot. The 

Board will be provided with embargoed 

test items that cannot be discussed in an 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
21622 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 79 / Monday, April 26, 2010 / Notices 

open meeting. Premature disclosure of 

data would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP 

assessments, and is therefore protected 

by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of 

Title 5 U.S.C. 

On May 13, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 

p.m., the Executive Committee will 

meet in open session and thereafter in 

closed session from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. 

During the closed session on May 13, 

the Executive Committee will receive a 

briefing from the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) on options 

for NAEP contracts covering assessment 

years beyond 2010–2011. The 

discussion of contract options and costs 

will address the Congressionally 

mandated goals and Board policies on 

NAEP assessments. This part of the 

meeting must be conducted in closed 

session because public discussion of 

this information would disclose 

independent government cost estimates 

and contracting options, adversely 

impacting the confidentiality of the 

contracting process. Public disclosure of 

information discussed would 

significantly impede implementation of 

the NAEP contracts, and is therefore 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. 

On May 14, the full Board will meet 

in open session from 8:15 a.m. to 9:45 

a.m. The Board will review and approve 

the meeting agenda and meeting 

minutes from the March 2010 Board 

meeting. This session will be followed 

by welcome remarks from Milwaukee 

speakers. The Executive Director of the 

Governing Board will then provide a 

report to the Board, followed by updates 

to the Board from the Director of the 

Institute of Education Sciences and the 

Deputy Commissioner of the National 

Center for Education Statistics. These 

sessions will be followed by an update 

on Common Core Standards by the 

Executive Director of the Council of 

Chief State School Officers. 

The Board will recess for Committee 

meetings on May 14 from 10 a.m. to 

12:30 p.m. The Reporting and 

Dissemination Committee will meet in 

open session from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 

The Assessment Development 

Committee will meet in open session 

from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and thereafter 

in closed session from 11:30 a.m. to 

12:30 p.m. During the closed session, 

the Committee will receive a briefing 

with embargoed data regarding student 

response rates and performance results 

for 12th grade NAEP mathematics items 

administered in 2009. The Committee 

will also get an update on scoring the 

2010 pilot of the NAEP writing 

computer-based assessment. The Board 

will be provided with embargoed data 

that cannot be discussed in an open 

meeting prior to their official release. 

Premature disclosure of data would 

significantly impede implementation of 

the NAEP assessments, and is therefore 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. 

The Committee on Standards, Design 

and Methodology (COSDAM) will meet 

in open session from 10 a.m. to 11:30 

a.m., followed by a closed session from 

11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. During the 

closed session, Board members will 

review and discuss data on science 

achievement levels and external validity 

data collected for evaluating the 

achievement levels. COSDAM is 

scheduled to take action for setting the 

2009 Science NAEP achievement levels 

for grades 4, 8, and 12 at the May 2010 

meeting. The data provided for 

evaluation of the cut scores at the May 

2010 COSDAM meeting must be 

discussed in closed session because the 

cut scores and performance relative to 

the cut scores are embargoed until the 

release of the Nation’s Report Card. The 

secure data on achievement levels 

cannot be discussed in an open meeting 

prior to their official release. Premature 

disclosure of data would significantly 

impede implementation of the NAEP 

assessment, and is therefore protected 

by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of 

Title 5 U.S.C. 

Following the Committee meetings, 

on May 14, from 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. 

the full Board will meet in closed 

session to receive a briefing on the 2009 

National Assessment of Educational 

Progress (NAEP) Trial Urban District 

Assessments Reading Report Card. The 

Board will be provided with embargoed 

results that cannot be discussed in an 

open meeting prior to their official 

release. Premature disclosure of data 

would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP 

assessment, and is therefore protected 

by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of 

Title 5 U.S.C. 

Following this session, the full Board 

will continue to meet in closed session 

from 1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. to discuss 

the science achievement levels. The 

Governing Board is scheduled to take 

action for setting the 2009 Science 

NAEP achievement levels for grades 4, 

8, and 12 at the May 2010 meeting. The 

data provided for evaluation of the cut 

scores at the May 2010 COSDAM 

meeting must be discussed in closed 

session because the cut scores and 

performance relative to the cut scores 

are embargoed until the release of the 

Nation’s Report Card. The secure 

achievement levels results cannot be 

discussed in an open meeting prior to 

their official release. Premature 

disclosure of data would significantly 

impede implementation of the NAEP 

assessments, and is therefore protected 

by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of 

Title 5 U.S.C. 

From 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. the Board will 

meet in open session to discuss the 

Mathematics Achievement Levels 

Descriptions for Grade 12 and the 

Technology and Engineering Literacy 

Specifications. From 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., 

the Board will receive a briefing in open 

session on TUDA research from the 

Executive Director of the Council of the 

Great City Schools. The May 14, 2010 

Board meeting is scheduled to conclude 

at 5 p.m. 

On May 15, the Nominations 

Committee will meet in closed session 

from 7:45 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. to discuss 

the status of final candidates being 

proposed for appointment terms 

beginning October 1, 2010. These 

discussions pertain solely to internal 

personnel rules and practices of an 

agency and will disclose information of 

a personal nature where disclosure 

would constitute an unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. As such, 

the discussions are protected by 

exemptions 2 and 6 of section 552b(c) 

of Title 5 U.S.C. 

The full Board will meet in open 

session on May 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 

9:30 a.m. for an open discussion on 

topics of interest. From 9:30 a.m. to 

10:30 a.m. the Board will receive 

Committee reports and take action on 

Committee recommendations. The May 

15, 2010 session of the Board meeting is 

scheduled to adjourn at 10:30 a.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the 

purpose of publishing this notice and 

seeking public comment, FERC requests 

comments on the following information 

collections: 

• FERC Form No. 6 (‘‘FERC–6’’), 

‘‘Annual Report of Oil Pipeline 

Companies,’’ implemented in 18 CFR 

Sections 357.1, 357.2, and 385.2011; 

OMB Control No. 1902–0022, and 

• FERC Form No. 6–Q (‘‘FERC–6Q’’ or 

‘‘FERC–6–Q’’), ‘‘Quarterly Financial 

Report of Oil Pipeline Companies,’’ 

implemented in 18 CFR Section 357.4; 

OMB Control No. 1902–0206. 

The associated regulations, 

information collections, burdens, and 

OMB clearance numbers will continue 

to remain separate and distinct. 

Under the Interstate Commerce Act 

(ICA) (49 U.S.C. 1, 20, 54 Stat. 916), the 

Commission is authorized and 

empowered to make investigations and 

to collect and record data to the extent 

FERC may consider to be necessary or 

useful for the purpose of carrying out 

the provisions of the ICA. FERC must 

ensure just and reasonable rates for 

transportation of crude oil and 

petroleum products by pipelines in 

interstate commerce. 

The information collected by FERC 

Form Nos. 6 and 6–Q are used by the 

Commission to carry out its 

responsibilities in implementing the 

statutory provisions of the ICA, 

including the authority to prescribe 

rules and regulations concerning 

accounts, records and memoranda, as 

necessary or appropriate. Financial 

accounting and reporting provides 

needed information concerning a 

company’s past performance and its 

future prospects. Without reliable 

financial statements prepared in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

Uniform System of Accounts and 

related regulations, the Commission 

would be unable to accurately 

determine the costs that relate to a 

particular time period, service or line of 

business. 

FERC uses data from the FERC Form 

Nos. 6 and 6–Q to assist in: (1) 

Implementation of its financial audits 

and programs, (2) continuous review of 

the financial condition of regulated 

companies, (3) assessment of energy 

markets, (4) rate proceedings and 

economic analyses, and (5) research for 

use in litigation. 

Financial information reported on the 

annual FERC Form 6 and quarterly 

FERC Form 6–Q provides FERC, as well 

as customers, investors and others, an 

important tool to help identify emerging 

trends and issues affecting jurisdictional 

entities within the energy industry. It 

also provides timely disclosures of the 

impacts that new accounting standards, 

or changes in existing standards, have 

on jurisdictional entities, as well as the
