necessary processes and systems to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive 

funding under the competition. This 

does not apply if you have an exception 

under 2 CFR 170.110(b). 

(b) At the end of your project period, 

you must submit a final performance 

report, including financial information, 

as directed by the Secretary. If you 

receive a multiyear award, you must 

submit an annual performance report 

that provides the most current 

performance and financial expenditure 

information as directed by the Secretary 

under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary 

may also require more frequent 

performance reports under 34 CFR 

75.720(c). For specific requirements on 

reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/ 

fund/grant/apply/appforms/ 

appforms.html. 

(c) Under 34 CFR 75.250(b), the 

Secretary may provide a grantee with 

additional funding for data collection 

analysis and reporting. In this case the 

Secretary establishes a data collection 

period. 

Note: In addition, under 34 CFR 

75.591, all TSL grantees must cooperate 

in any evaluation of the program 

conducted by the Department. 

5. Performance Measures: The goal of 

TSL is to support educators, particularly 

those in High-Need Schools, to raise 

student academic achievement and 

close the achievement gap between 

high- and low-performing students. We 

have established performance measures 

for this program: (a) The percentage of 

teachers and School Leaders within the 

TSL-assisted schools rated effective or 

higher by their districts’ evaluation and 

support systems; (b) the percentage of 

teachers and School Leaders across the 

participating district(s) that show 

improvements, over the previous year, 

on the student growth component of 

their evaluation rating; (c) the 

percentage of teachers and School 

Leaders within the TSL-assisted schools 

that show improvements, over the 

previous year, on the student growth 

component of their evaluation rating; (d) 

the percentage of teachers and School 

Leaders in TSL-assisted schools for 

whom evaluation ratings were used to 

inform decisions regarding recruitment, 

hiring, placement, retention, dismissal, 

professional development, tenure, 

promotion, or all of the above; (e) the 

percentage of teachers and School 

Leaders within the participating 

district(s) who earned performancebased compensation based on their 

individual evaluation ratings; (f) the 

percentage of teachers and School 

Leaders in TSL-funded schools who 

earned performance-based 

compensation based on their individual 

evaluation ratings; (g) the number of 

teachers receiving performance 

compensation disaggregated by race, 

gender, and where available, disability 

status; (h) the number of School Leaders 

receiving performance compensation 

disaggregated by race, gender, and 

where available, disability status; and (i) 

the number of teachers receiving 

performance compensation for 

leadership responsibilities disaggregated 

by race, gender, and where available, 

disability status. 

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).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[EERE–2021–BT–BC–0013] 

Future of Energy Codes Workshop; 

Reopening of the Public Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Reopening of the public 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) is reopening the public 

comment period for the request for 

public comments on its public 

stakeholder workshop on the Future of 

Energy Codes held June 22 and 24, 

2021. DOE published notice of the 

workshop on June 14, 2021 and 

requested comments by July 8, 2021. On 

June 30, 2021, DOE received a request 

from the American Gas Association, 

American Public Gas Association, 

National Association of Home Builders, 

and National Propane Gas Association 

to extend the public comment period by 

45 days. DOE is reopening the public 

comment period until July 31, 2021. 

DATES: The comment period associated 

with the Future of Energy Codes 

Workshop, held on June 22 and 24, 2021 

(86 FR 31491) is reopened. DOE will 

accept stakeholder comments and 

feedback from the Workshop on or 

before July 31, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

encouraged to submit comments using 

the Federal eRulemaking Portal at 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Alternatively, interested persons may

BC–0013 in the subject line of the 

message. 

No telefacsimilies (‘‘faxes’’) will be 

accepted. 

Although DOE has routinely accepted 

public comment submissions through a 

variety of mechanisms, including postal 

mail and hand delivery/courier, the 

Department has found it necessary to 

make temporary modifications to the 

comment submission process in light of 

the ongoing COVID–19 pandemic. DOE 

is currently suspending receipt of public 

comments via postal mail and hand 

delivery/courier. If a commenter finds 

that this change poses an undue 

hardship, please contact the parties 

listed below to discuss the need for 

alternative arrangements. Once the 

COVID–19 pandemic health emergency 

is resolved, DOE anticipates resuming 

all of its regular options for public 

comment submission, including postal 

mail and hand delivery/courier. 

Docket: The docket for this activity, 

which includes Federal Register 

notices, comments, and other 

supporting documents/materials, is 

available for review at 

www.regulations.gov. All documents in 

the docket are listed in the 

www.regulations.gov index. However, 

not all documents listed in the index 

may be publicly available, such as 

information that is exempt from public 

disclosure. The docket web page can be 

found at: www.regulations.gov/docket/ 

EERE-2021-BT-BC-0013. The docket 

web page contains instructions on how 

to access all documents, including 

public comments, in the docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

14, 2021, DOE published notice of a 

stakeholder workshop on the Future of 

Energy Codes (86 FR 31491), which was 

subsequently held on June 22 and 24, 

2021. The workshop highlighted leading 

advancements in energy codes, bringing 

together key stakeholders from across 

the design and construction industry to 

discuss recent code updates, upcoming 

trends, as well as opportunities and 

challenges facing code implementation. 

In parallel with the workshop, a public 

docket was made available to provide 

interested stakeholders the option of 

submitting written comments, in 

addition to participating directly in the 

workshop, with comments requested by 

July 8, 2021. (86 FR 31491) On June 30, 

2021, DOE received a request from the 

American Gas Association, American 

Public Gas Association, National 

Association of Home Builders, and 

National Propane Gas Association to 

extend the public comment period by 45 

days. These interested parties asked for 

additional time to review the workshop 

materials, consider the questions 

presented, and in recognition that the 

original comment period included a 

federal holiday. 

After considering the request, DOE 

finds that a 45-day extension of the 

initial comment period would 

unnecessarily delay DOE’s ability to 

utilize information provided in the 

workshop and in comments. Such delay 

would also hinder its ability to 

effectively participate in and support 

the processes for updating building 

energy codes. However, DOE recognizes 

the concerns presented in the request, 

and DOE believes that a brief reopening 

of the comment period will enable the 

public to better review and comment on 

the information presented at the 

workshop. Accordingly, DOE finds it 

appropriate to reopen the comment 

period and will accept comments until 

July 31, 2021. DOE will consider any 

comments received by this date to be 

timely submitted.
