SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: National 

Evaluation of the 2019 Comprehensive 

Centers Program Grantees. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 259. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 106. 

Abstract: The 2015 update to the 

federal law governing K–12 schooling 

gave state (SEAs) and local education 

agencies (LEAs) increased 

responsibilities, and, therefore, extra 

demands on their time and capabilities. 

The Comprehensive Centers program, 

funded by the U.S. Department of 

Education at over $50 million per year, 

provides training, tools, and other 

supports to help these agencies carry 

out their education plans and take steps 

to close achievement gaps. The Centers’ 

services aim to build individual and 

organizational capacity to help identify 

and solve key problems. This evaluation 

will examine the delivery and 

usefulness of the Centers’ technical 

assistance, given potential new 

stakeholder needs and changes in the 

Center program that took effect with the 

20 new grants awarded in in 2019. 

Congress requires a periodic evaluation 

of the Comprehensive Centers program, 

with the results intended to inform 

ongoing program improvements.

l. The existing Watson Dam Project 

(Figure 2) consists of: (1) A 292.5-footlong, 12-foot-high concrete gravity dam 

that includes the following sections: (a) 

A 54-foot-long right abutment; (b) a 111- 

foot-long right spillway section with 24- 

inch-high flashboards and a crest 

elevation of 110.1 North American 

Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) at 

the top of the flashboards; (c) a 12-footlong, 11. 5-foot-wide concrete spillway 

center pier; (d) an 80-foot-long left 

spillway section with 24-inch-high 

flashboards and a crest elevation of 

110.2 feet NAVD 88 at the top of the 

flashboards; and (e) a 24-foot-long left 

abutment; (2) an impoundment with a 

surface area of 54 acres and a storage 

capacity of 300 acre-feet at an elevation 

of 110.1 feet NAVD 88; (3) a 26-footlong, 24-foot-wide intake structure in 

the left abutment that is equipped with 

an 8.5-foot-diameter headgate and 

trashrack with 2-inch clear bar spacing; 

(4) a 26.5-foot-long, 34-foot-wide wood 

and steel powerhouse containing one 

265-kilowatt vertical Flygt submersible 

turbine-generator unit; (5) a 250-footlong, 20-foot-wide tailrace that 

discharges into the Cocheco River; (6) a 

0.48/12.47-kilovolt (kV) step-up 

transformer and an 80-foot-long, 12.47 

kV transmission line that connect the 

project to the local utility distribution 

system; and (7) appurtenant facilities. 

The project creates an approximately 

250-foot-long and a 400-foot-long 

bifurcated bypassed reaches of the 

Cocheco River. 

Watson Associates voluntarily 

operates the project in a run-of-river 

mode using an automatic pond level 

control system to regulate turbine 

operation, such that outflow from the 

project approximates inflow. 

Downstream fish passage is provided by 

a bypass facility located next to the 

project’s intake on the left side of the 

dam. There is no upstream fish passage 

facility at the project. 

Article 26 of the current license 

requires a minimum flow of 83 cfs or 

inflow to the impoundment, whichever 

is less, from the project, to protect and 

enhance aquatic resources in the 

Cocheco River. Watson Associates is 

required to operate the downstream fish 

passage facility from October 1 through 

November 15 of each year. 

The average annual energy production 

of the project is approximately 1,100. 

MWh. 

Watson Associates proposes to: (1) 

Continue to operate the project in a runof-river mode; (2) continue to provide 

downstream fish passage through the 

bypass facility; and (3) consult with the 

New Hampshire State Historic 

Preservation Officer before beginning 

any land-disturbing activities or 

alterations to known historic structures 

within the project boundary.

o. Scoping Process. 

Commission staff will prepare either 

an environmental assessment (EA) or an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

that describes and evaluates the 

probable effects, if any, of the licensee’s 

proposed action and alternatives. The 

EA or EIS will consider environmental 

impacts and reasonable alternatives to 

the proposed action. The Commission’s 

scoping process will help determine the 

required level of analysis and satisfy the 

NEPA scoping requirements, 

irrespective of whether the Commission 

prepares an EA or an EIS. At this time, 

we do not anticipate holding on-site 

scoping meetings. Instead, we are 

soliciting written comments and 

suggestions on the preliminary list of 

issues and alternatives to be addressed 

in the NEPA document, as described in 

scoping document 1 (SD1), issued 

January 31, 2022. 

Copies of the SD1 outlining the 

subject areas to be addressed in the 

NEPA document were distributed to the 

parties on the Commission’s mailing list 

and the applicant’s distribution list. 

Copies of SD1 may be viewed on the 

web at http://www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in
