**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

On May 4, 2012, we published an RFI in the Federal Register (77 FR 26531) to collect information about promising practices and policies regarding existing education data systems and models that disaggregate data on subgroups within the Asian and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Island student population. The deadline for written submissions during the initial comment period was July 3, 2012. We are reopening the comment period for written submissions in response to the RFI notice through August 13, 2012. We are reopening the comment period to maximize opportunities for State educational agencies, local educational agencies, schools, and institutions of higher education to respond with their disaggregation practices so as to yield beneficial data for the Department to analyze and report on.

c. Date filed: November 22, 2011. d. Applicant: Mahoning Hydropower, LLC.

e. Name of Project: Lake Milton Hydroelectric Project.

f. Location: The project would be located on the Mahoning River, in Mahoning County, Ohio at an existing dam owned by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The project would not occupy federal lands.

g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act 16 U.S.C. 791(a)–825(r).

h. Applicant Contact: Mahoning Hydropower, LLC, c/o Anthony J. Marra III, General Manager, 11365 Normandy Lane, Chagrin Falls, Ohio 44023, Phone (440) 804–6627.

j. Deadline for filing motions to intervene and protests, comments, terms and conditions, recommendations, and prescriptions: 60 days from the issuance date of this notice; reply comments are due 105 days from the issuance date of this notice.

All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission’s Web site http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 characters, without prior registration, using the eComment system at http:// www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ ecomment.asp. You must include your name and contact information at the end of your comments.

The Commission’s Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each person on the official service list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.

k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready for environmental analysis.

l. Project Description: The project would be located at the existing Lake Milton Dam, currently owned by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Water releases through Lake Milton Dam would continue to be controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Lake Milton Dam is a concrete gravity dam about 54 feet high and 760 feet long, with a 650-foot-long spillway and four, 60-inch-diameter gate valves. The project would also consist of thefollowing new facilities: (1) A tubular SType propeller, 650-kilowatt turbinegenerating unit; (2) a trash rack with a 1-inch clear bar spacing that would be placed over the existing trashrack; and (3) a 25-foot by 35-foot powerhouse that would be built below the crest of the dam and over the existing discharge pipe exiting the dam. No new penstock or tailrace are proposed as the proposed turbine would utilize the existing 70- foot-long by 60-inch diameter cast iron conduit that currently passes through the dam, and the flows exiting the turbine would be discharged directly into an existing concrete stilling basin. The proposed project would alsoinclude a new 12.5-kilovolt, 320-footlong underground transmission line that would interconnect with an existing distribution line located west of the dam.

The two-mile-long reservoir (Lake Milton) has a surface area of 1,685 acres at a normal pool elevation of 948 feet above mean sea level. The project would operate in a run-of-release mode, based on Corp releases upstream, using flows that range between 25 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 250 cfs. When higher flows need to be released from the reservoir, flows above 250 cfs can be discharged through any of the three remaining 60-inch discharge pipes. The estimated annual generation of the Lake Milton Project would be 3,659 megawatt-hours based on a head range at the dam of between 26 and 40 feet.

m. We intend to waive scoping and expedite the review process based on several factors: (1) The dam already exists, (2) there is limited construction proposed at the project site, (3) the applicant coordinated closely with federal and state resource agencies during the preparation of the application, and (4) the studies conducted by the applicant were completed during pre-filing consultation. Based on a review of the application and resource agency consultation letters, Commission staff intends to prepare a single environmental assessment (EA). Commission staff determined that the issues that need to be addressed in its EA have been adequately identified during the pre-filing period, which included a public meeting and site visit, and no new issues are likely to be identified through additional scoping. The EA will assess the potential effects of project construction and operation on geology and soils, aquatic resources, terrestrial resources, threatened and endangered species, recreation and land use, and cultural and historic resources.

n. A copy of the application is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission’s Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.

o. Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, and .214. In determining the appropriate action to take, the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those
