North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive 

Study 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Report Availability. 

SUMMARY: The Congressional response 

to the devastation in the wake of 

Hurricane Sandy included a mandate to 

collaborate with federal, state, tribal and 

local government agencies to regionally 

address the vulnerability of coastal 

populations at risk within the 

boundaries of the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE) North Atlantic 

Division. The goals of the North Atlantic 

Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS), 

authorized under the Disaster Relief 

Appropriations Act, Public Law 113–2, 

were to: (1) Provide a risk management 

framework, consistent with National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration/USACE Infrastructure 

Systems Rebuilding Principles; and (2) 

support resilient coastal communities 

and robust, sustainable coastal 

landscape systems, considering future 

sea level and climate change scenarios, 

to manage risk to vulnerable 

populations, property, ecosystems, and 

infrastructure. In addition, the NACCS 

evaluated institutional and other 

barriers to providing comprehensive 

coastal storm risk management, along 

with other activities warranting 

additional analysis. NACCS draft 

analyses were made available to 

stakeholders for review and validation 

in March 2014. Throughout the study 

process several additional opportunities 

for stakeholder input were made 

available, including a webinar 

collaboration series, agency and public 

engagements, and a feedback link on the 

NACCS Web page. Full NEPA and other 

environmental compliance would be 

required as part of future detailed 

evaluations and/or feasibility studies 

before any actions could be 

implemented. The final report was 

submitted to Congress and all associated 

documents and tools are now accessible 

on the NACCS Web page at: https://

www.nad.usace.army.mil/compstudy. 

ADDRESSES: For media contacts please 

contact Mr. Justin Ward, U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, Public Affairs, 302 

General Lee Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 

11252, at justin.m.ward@usace.army.mil 

or at (347) 370–4550. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Justin Ward, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Public Affairs. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NACCS recommends the use of a ninestep Coastal Storm Risk Management 

Framework, which is customizable for 

any coastal watershed and is informed 

by several planning tools and models 

that are included in the report, among 

other resources. To further manage 

coastal flood risk, the report also 

recommends better institutional 

alignment and financing, better use of 

pre-storm planning and post-storm 

monitoring tools, and better education 

on flood risk and the availability of 

flood risk management solutions. The 

report recognizes the long-term 

challenges facing the area, which makes 

it clear that integrated solutions that 

promote sustainable communities and 

ecosystems will be needed. The report 

also identifies nine high-risk areas that 

warrant additional analysis. They are: 

Rhode Island Coastline; Connecticut 

Coastline; New York-New Jersey Harbor 

and Tributaries; Nassau County Back 

Bays, NY; New Jersey Back Bays, NJ; 

Delaware Inland Bays and Delaware Bay 

Coast, DE; City of Baltimore, MD; 

Washington, DC; and City of Norfolk, 

VA. The NACCS report represents a 

start in the direction of the new 

paradigm that accounts for new and 

changing conditions—this will need the 

attention and commitment of public, 

private and commercial interests in 

order to succeed.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records—Study of Teacher 

Preparation Experiences and Early 

Teacher Effectiveness 

AGENCY: Institute of Education Sciences, 

Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice of an altered system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(Privacy Act), the Department of 

Education (Department) publishes this 

notice of an altered system of records 

entitled ‘‘Study of Teacher Preparation 

Experiences and Early Teacher 

Effectiveness’’ (18–13–29) (formerly, 

‘‘Study of Promising Features of Teacher 

Preparation Programs’’). The National 

Center for Education Evaluation and 

Regional Assistance at the Department’s 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES) 

awarded a contract in September 2011 

to Abt Associates to conduct a rigorous 

study of the effect on student learning 

of teachers who have various 

experiences in their teacher preparation 

programs (e.g., intensive clinical 

practice). The original system of records 

notice for this study was published in 

the Federal Register on June 28, 2012 

(77 FR 38611). This altered system of 

records notice reflects changes to the 

study’s design based on the infeasibility 

of efficiently identifying a sufficient 

number of teachers eligible for an 

impact study design. 

DATES: Submit your comments on this 

notice of an altered system of records or 

before March 4, 2015. 

The Department filed a report 

describing the altered system of records 

covered by this notice with the Chair of 

the Senate Committee on Homeland 

Security and Governmental Affairs, the 

Chair of the House Committee on 

Oversight and Government Reform, and 

the Administrator of the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) on January 20, 2015. This altered 

system of records will become effective 

at the later date of: (1) The expiration of 

the 40-day period for OMB review on 

March 2, 2015, unless OMB waives 10 

days of the 40-day review period for 

compelling reasons shown by the 

Department, or (2) March 4, 2015, 

unless the system of records needs to be 

changed as a result of public comment 

or OMB review. The Department will 

publish any changes to the system of 

records or routine uses that result from 

public comment or OMB review.

this notice of an altered system of 

records to Dr. Audrey Pendleton,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) 

and (e)(11)) requires the Department to 

publish in the Federal Register this 

notice of an altered system of records 

maintained by the Department. The 

Department’s regulations implementing 

the Privacy Act are contained in part 5b 

of title 34 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR). 

The Privacy Act applies to records 

about individuals that contain 

individually identifying information 

and that are retrieved by a unique 

identifier associated with each 

individual, such as a name or Social 

Security number (SSN). The information 

about each individual is called a 

‘‘record,’’ and the system, whether 

manual or computer-based, is called a 

‘‘system of records.’’ 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish a notice of a system of 

records in the Federal Register and to 

prepare and send a report to OMB 

whenever the agency publishes a new 

system of records or makes a significant 

change to an established system of 

records. Each agency is also required to 

send copies of the report to the Chair of 

the Senate Committee on Homeland 

Security and Governmental Affairs and 

the Chair of the House Committee on 

Oversight and Government Reform. 

These reports are inc1uded to permit an 

evaluation of the probable effect of the 

proposal on the privacy rights of 

individuals. 

In response to expert feedback, this 

study will examine the relationship 

between student learning outcomes and 

teaching preparation experiences that 

vary in terms of type (e.g., coursework, 

fieldwork, and intensive feedback in the 

field) and content (e.g., classroom 

management and instructional 

strategies). District, teacher, and student 

sample sizes and teacher data elements 

have been revised to allow for this 

analysis. 

Accordingly, the Department has 

retitled the system of records (now 

‘‘Study of Teacher Preparation 

Experiences and Early Teacher 

Effectiveness,’’ instead of ‘‘Study of 

Promising Features of Teacher 

Preparation Programs’’) and updated the 

section of the system of records notice 

entitled ‘‘CATEGORIES OF 

INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE 

SYSTEM’’ to reflect that the system of 

records will contain records on 

approximately 1,518,950 students and 

8,000 novice teachers from up to 50 

school districts. The system of records 

will include personally identifying 

information on novice teachers of fourth 

through sixth grade students in study
