Abstract: To assist schools in 

attracting, retaining and motivating 

effective teachers and principals, in 

2006 the U.S. Department of Education 

launched the Teacher Incentive Fund, 

which supports comprehensive 

compensation reform activities 

including bonus pay-for-performance 

(PFP), career advancement and 

professional development. The purpose 

of this evaluation is to describe the 

implementation of the program and its 

relationship to any increases in 

recruitment and retention of effective 

teachers and principals. If feasible, this 

evaluation will also seek to analyze 

TIF’s relationship to increasing student 

achievement.

statutory obligations. The Director, 

Information Collection Clearance 

Division, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission

the collection; (4) Description of the

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

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,

Abstract: The Federal Perkins Loan 

Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a 

promissory note under which a 

borrower may receive loans for a single 

academic year or multiple academic 

years. The adoption of the MPN in the 

Perkins Loan Program has simplified the 

loan process by eliminating the need for 

institutions to prepare, and students to 

sign, a promissory note each award year.

dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
16192 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 67 / Thursday, April 9, 2009 / Notices 

publishes or revises a list of facilities 

covered under the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act of 2000, as amended

Some designated atomic weapons 

employers (AWE) should not have been 

so designated; (2) one listed facility’s 

name has changed; and (3) one 

university was incorrectly designated as 

a covered facility rather than the 

laboratory operated by the university. 

Previous lists or revisions were 

published on June 28, 2007, November

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose 

The Act establishes a program to 

provide compensation to certain 

employees who develop illnesses as a 

result of their employment with DOE, 

its predecessor Agencies, certain of its 

contractors and subcontractors and 

listed beryllium vendors. Section 3621 

of the Act (codified at 42 U.S.C. 7384l) 

defines an AWE as ‘‘an entity, other 

than the United States, that—(A) 

processed or produced, for use by the 

United States, material that emitted 

radiation and was used in the 

production of an atomic weapon, 

excluding uranium mining and milling; 

and (B) is designated by the Secretary of 

Energy as an [AWE] for the purposes of 

the compensation program.’’ Section 

3621 defines an AWE facility as ‘‘a 

facility, owned by an [AWE], that is or 

was used to process or produce, for use 

by the United States, material that 

emitted radiation and was used in the 

production of an atomic weapon, 

excluding uranium mining or milling.’’ 

The Act defines a DOE facility, in 

pertinent part, as ‘‘any building, 

structure, or premise, including the 

grounds upon which such building, 

structure, or premise is located—(A) in 

which operations are, or have been, 

conducted by, or on behalf of, the 

Department of Energy * * *; and (B) 

with regard to which the Department of 

Energy has or had—(i) a proprietary 

interest; or (ii) entered into a contract 

with an entity to provide management 

and operation, management and 

integration, environmental remediation 

services, construction, or maintenance 

services.’’ 

It has recently come to the attention 

of the Department that (1) Certain 

entities were previously mistakenly 

designated as AWEs because the 

designated entities were Agencies of the 

U.S. Government and the statutory 

definition of an AWE excludes the 

United States; (2) one listed facility has 

changed its name; and (3) one university 

was incorrectly designated as a covered 

facility rather than the laboratory 

operated by the university. 

This notice formally makes the 

following changes to the list: 

• Albany Research Center in Albany, 

Oregon, is no longer designated as an 

AWE, but will keep its designation as a 

DOE facility; 

• General Electric in Cincinnati/ 

Evandale, Ohio, is no longer designated 

as an AWE, but will keep its designation 

as a DOE and beryllium (Be) facility; 

• Granite City Steel in Granite City, 

Illinois, will now be listed as General 

Steel Industries (also known as Granite 

City Steel) because the facility was 

named General City Steel for the 

majority of the covered period; 

• The University of California in 

Berkeley, California, is no longer 

designated as a covered facility (AWE 

nor DOE). The University of California 

is the management and operating 

contractor for Lawrence Berkeley 

National Laboratory (LBNL) and any 

University of California facilities that 

may have been used for weapons 

development are now covered under the 

LBNL facility.

2009.
