Secretary establishes a data collection 

period. 

7. Performance Measures: The 

Department has established the 

following performance measures for 

purposes of Department reporting under 

34 CFR 75.110, which it will use to 

evaluate the overall performance of the 

grantee’s project, as well as NACTEP as 

a whole: 

(a) At the secondary level: An 

increase in— 

(1) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators who graduate high school, 

as measured by— 

(A) The four-year adjusted cohort 

graduation rate (defined in section 8101 

of ESEA); and 

(B) At the grantee’s discretion, the 

extended-year adjusted cohort 

graduation rate (defined in section 8101 

of ESEA); 

(2) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators graduating from high 

school having attained postsecondary 

credits in the relevant CTE program 

earned through a dual or concurrent 

enrollment program or another credit 

transfer agreement; 

(3) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators graduating from high 

school having participated in workbased learning; 

(4) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators graduating from high 

school having attained a recognized 

postsecondary credential; and 

(5) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators who, after exiting from 

secondary education, are in 

postsecondary education or advanced 

training, military service, or a service 

program, or are employed. 

(b) At the postsecondary level: An 

increase in— 

(1) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators who remain enrolled in 

postsecondary education, are in 

advanced training, military service, or a 

service program, or are employed; and 

(2) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators who receive a recognized 

postsecondary credential. 

Project-Specific Performance 

Measures: 

In addition to the performance 

measures noted above, applicants may 

propose project-specific performance 

measures and performance targets 

consistent with the objectives of the 

proposed project. Examples of such 

project-specific performance measures 

could include student recruitment, 

student participation in work-based 

learning at the postsecondary level, and 

teacher and faculty participation in 

professional development. 

Note: All grantees will be expected to 

submit a semi-annual and an annual 

performance report addressing these 

performance measures, to the extent that 

these performance measures apply to 

each grantee’s NACTEP project. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. 

In making a continuation award, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education (ED)’s Institute of Education 

Sciences (IES) requests clearance for 

data collection activities to evaluate 

teacher residency programs’ 

contributions to the teacher workforce. 

Specifically, this request covers the 

collection of data to understand the 

extent to which teacher residency 

programs funded by ED’s Teacher 

Quality Partnership (TQP) grants help 

diversify the teacher pipeline and fill 

hard-to-staff teaching positions in their 

partner districts. The Higher Education 

Act established the TQP program to 

support partnerships between teacher 

preparation programs and high-need 

districts to implement teacher residency 

programs. The study will collect data on 

newly hired teachers from the school 

districts and charter school networks 

(referred to throughout as ‘‘districts’’) 

that partner with TQP grantees. If some 

districts are unable to provide data on 

new hires from TQP-funded residency 

programs, we will collect those data 

from TQP grantees.

Commission 

[Project No. 2391–053] 

PE Hydro Generation, LLC; Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment 

On January 3, 2022, PE Hydro 

Generation, LLC filed a subsequent 

minor license application for the 750- 

kilowatt Warren Hydroelectric Project 

No. 2391 (project). The project is located 

on the Shenandoah River, near the 

Town of Front Royal, in Warren County, 

Virginia. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on October 18, 2024, 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA Notice). Based on the 

information in the record, staff does not 

anticipate that licensing the project 

would constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. Therefore, staff 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) on the application to 

license the project.1

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members, and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

The application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate. 

Milestone Target date 

Commission issues EA ...... December 31, 2025. 

Any questions regarding this notice 

may be directed to Kristine Sillett at
