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

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.

**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
