project in the aggregate rather than at 

the individual performance measure set 

level and offered an opinion that data 

reported in disaggregated fashion would 

be burdensome for respondents to 

provide and would not result in 

meaningful information for CNCS. 

CNCS acknowledges that the level of 

burden may be higher for some 

respondents to report on individual 

performance measure sets and has 

increased the burden estimate. CNCS 

notes that the increased burden stems 

from additional data entry into the 

CNCS eGrants reporting system and is 

not a burden caused by additional data 

collection or other reporting steps 

peculiar to reporting to CNCS on 

individual performance measure sets. 

Further, given the unique and 

complex nature of capacity building 

activities, CNCS believes that the 

information reported at an individual 

performance measure set level will 

provide meaningful and valuable 

information about how respondents are 

using VISTA resources in a way that an 

aggregate cannot. 

The intent of VISTA resources is to 

build capacity of individual 

organizations and programs to address 

poverty. Even sites that have similar 

capacity goals and performance 

measures—as expressed in individual 

performance measure sets—may achieve 

results at different rates, need different 

levels of VISTA resources to make 

progress, or require different types of 

service activities from VISTA members. 

Reporting data on individual 

performance sets is necessary for 

respondents, CNCS, and other 

stakeholders to monitor this variability 

in resources, aspirations and 

accomplishments, both to assist in the 

accomplishment of the individual 

project as well as to support the 

continuous improvement of the VISTA 

program as a whole.

hours. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

None.

Department of the Navy 

Meeting of the U.S. Naval Academy 

Board of Visitors 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of partially closed 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Naval Academy 

Board of Visitors will meet to make such 

inquiry, as the Board shall deem 

necessary, into the state of morale and 

discipline, the curriculum, instruction, 

physical equipment, fiscal affairs, and 

academic methods of the Naval 

Academy. The executive session of this 

meeting from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on 

September 8, 2014, will include new 

and pending administrative/minor 

disciplinary infractions and non-judicial 

punishments involving the Midshipmen 

attending the U.S. Naval Academy to 

include but not limited to individual 

honor/conduct violations within the 

Brigade, the disclosure of which would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. For this 

reason, the executive session of this 

meeting will be closed to the public. 

DATES: The open session of the meeting 

will be held on September 8, 2014, from 

8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. The closed session 

of this meeting will be the executive 

session held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in 

the Library of Congress in Washington, 

DC. The meeting will be handicap 

accessible. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Commander Eric Madonia, 

USN, Executive Secretary to the Board 

of Visitors, Office of the Superintendent, 

U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD 

21402–5000, 410–293–1503. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice of meeting is provided per the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. App.). The executive 

session of the meeting from 11 a.m. to 

12 p.m. on September 8, 2014, will 

include new and pending 

administrative/minor disciplinary 

infractions and non-judicial 

punishments involving the Midshipmen 

attending the U.S. Naval Academy to 

include but not limited to individual 

honor/conduct violations within the 

Brigade. The discussion of such 

information cannot be adequately 

segregated from other topics, which 

precludes opening the executive session 

of this meeting to the public. 

Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy 

has determined in writing that the 

meeting shall be partially closed to the 

public because the discussions during 

the executive session from 11 a.m. to 12 

p.m. will be concerned with matters 

coming under sections 552b(c) (5), (6), 

and (7) of title 5, United States Code.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

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: State Educational 

Agency and Local Educational

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,080. 

Abstract: Although the U.S. 

Department of Education (ED) 

determines Title I, Part A allocations for 

Local Educational Agencies (LEAs), 

State Educational Agencies (SEAs) must 

adjust ED-determined Title I, Part A 

LEA allocations to account for newly 

created LEAs and LEA boundary 

changes, to redistribute Title I, Part A 

funds to small LEAs (under 20,000 total 

population) using alternative poverty 

data, and to reserve funds for school 

improvement, State administration, and 

the State academic achievement awards 

program. This control number covers 

only the burden associated with the 

actual procedures an SEA must follow 

when adjusting ED-determined LEA 

allocations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Janet Chen, Director of Programs, 

Advisory Committee on Student 

Financial Assistance, Capitol Place, 80 F 

Street NW., Suite 413, Washington, DC 

20202–7582, (202) 219–2099. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Advisory Committee on Student 

Financial Assistance is established 

under Section 491 of the Higher 

Education Act of 1965 as amended by 

Public Law 100–50 (20 U.S.C. 1098). 

The Advisory Committee serves as an 

independent source of advice and 

counsel to the Congress and the 

Secretary of Education on student 

financial aid policy. Since its inception, 

the congressional mandate requires the 

Advisory Committee to conduct 

objective, nonpartisan, and independent 

analyses on important aspects of the 

student assistance programs under Title 

IV of the Higher Education Act. 

The one-day meeting/hearing will 

provide an opportunity for members of 

the public to suggest strategies and 

techniques to address the technical 

challenges involved in creating the 

Postsecondary Institution Ratings 

System (PIRS). In particular, the 

Committee seeks constructive, 

analytical input on how PIRS can 

successfully address challenges in one 

or more of the following ten areas: (1) 

Account for the diversity of American 

higher education; (2) Work within the 

financing structure of higher education; 

(3) Foster improvement in student and 

institutional outcomes; (4) Distinguish 

between consumer needs and 

accountability; (5) Overcome 

inadequacies and deficiencies in 

existing data; (6) Minimize unintended 

effects that undermine the objectives; (7) 

Contend with the subjective nature of 

ratings and rankings; (8) Ensure links to 

student aid improve access and 

completion; (9) Integrate with existing 

public data and information systems; 

(10) Provide for adequate pilot testing 

before full implementation. 

Given its legislative charge, the 

Advisory Committee is especially 

interested in how PIRS might be 

designed to minimize unintended 

effects on Title IV recipients, in 

particular low-income students.
