Title of Collection: Study of the

Reclassification Policies. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0974. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1,080. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,477. 

Abstract: The data collection 

described in this submission will assist 

policymakers in understanding the 

impact of classification and 

reclassification policies that govern 

students’ English learner (EL) status. 

Specifically, the study examines (1) 

whether classification and 

reclassification was implemented more 

consistently across districts within 

states after the start of the Every Student 

Succeeds Act (ESSA) and (2) whether 

classification and reclassification at 

current thresholds helps, harms, or is 

neutral for ELs’ and former ELs’ 

instructional opportunities, experiences, 

achievement, and attainment. This 

revision request adds district and school 

surveys to the approved data collection. 

The surveys will assess how districtlevel policies, practices, and procedures 

influence the impacts of reclassification 

on ELs as well as provide valuable 

descriptive information from districts 

and schools on local implementation of 

policies and practices that may affect 

outcomes for ELs. It will complement an 

existing data collection (#1850–0974) of 

student information from state 

longitudinal data systems (SLDSs).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

(DOE) regulates electricity exports from 

the United States to foreign countries in 

accordance with section 202(e) of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 

CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) 

and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) 

transferred this regulatory authority, 

previously exercised by the nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to 

DOE. 

Section 202(e) of the FPA provides 

that an entity which seeks to export 

electricity must obtain an order from 

DOE authorizing that export (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the 

authority to issue such orders was 

delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment 

Office (GDO) under Redelegation Order 

No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. 

On October 15, 2024, Altop Energy 

Investments LP filed an application for 

authorization to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada for a 

term of five years. App. at 1. 

According to the Application, ‘‘Altop 

Energy Investments LP is a Delaware 

Limited Partnership with its principal 

place of business in Houston, TX.’’ Id. 

The Applicant states that it is ‘‘engaged 

in the trading and marketing of both 

financial and physical electricity in the 

wholesale power markets in North 

America.’’ Id. Further, the Applicant 

states that through its subsidiary Altop 

Energy Trading LLC, it has market-based 

rate authority from the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission. Id. Altop 

Energy Investments LP states it ‘‘has no 

obligation to serve native load, does not 

own or operate any electric distribution 

or transmission facilities, does not own 

or operate any natural gas distribution 

or transmission facilities, and does not 

own or operate any generation assets’’. 

Id. Additionally, the Applicant 

represents that the energy to be exported 

will be purchased with voluntarily 

agreements and thus be surplus to the 

requirements of the selling entities and 

the overall electrical system and ‘‘will 

not impair the reliability of the grid.’’ Id. 

at 2.
