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.

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 the 

following 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 also 

include 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

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
