notice is given. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

4 p.m. January 9, 2015, until 9 a.m. 

March 1, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Canadian Pacific Railroad requested a 

temporary deviation for the Sabula 

Railroad Drawbridge, across the Upper 

Mississippi River, mile 535.0, at Sabula, 

Iowa to open on signal if at least 24 

hours advance notice is given for 51 

days from 4 p.m., January 9, 2015, to 9 

a.m., March 1, 2015 for scheduled 

maintenance on the bridge. The Sabula 

Railroad Drawbridge currently operates 

in accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, which 

states the general requirement that 

drawbridge shall open on signal. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessels transiting this section of the 

Upper Mississippi River. 

Winter conditions on the Upper 

Mississippi River coupled with the 

closure of Army Corps of Engineer’s 

Lock No. 12 (Mile 556.7 UMR) and Lock 

No. 13 (Mile 522.5 UMR) from 7:30 a.m. 

December 15, 2015 until 11 a.m., March 

4, 2015 will preclude any significant 

navigation demands for the drawspan 

opening. 

The Sabula Railroad Drawbridge, in 

the closed-to-navigation position, 

provides a vertical clearance of 18.1 feet 

above normal pool. Navigation on the 

waterway consists primarily of 

commercial tows and recreational 

watercraft and will not be significantly 

impacted. This temporary deviation has 

been coordinated with waterway users. 

No objections were received. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: January 9, 2015. 

Eric A. Washburn, 

Bridge Administrator, Western Rivers.

RIN 1855–AA10 

[Docket ID ED–2014–OII–0116] 

Direct Grant Programs and Definitions 

That Apply to Department Regulations 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

ACTION: Final regulations. 

SUMMARY: On August 13, 2013, the 

Department of Education (the 

Department) published final regulations 

in the Federal Register to amend the 

Education Department General 

Administrative Regulations (EDGAR). 

On October 22, 2014, the Department 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking to make additional 

amendments to EDGAR. In this 

document, the Department amends 

EDGAR to add a definition of ‘‘What 

Works Clearinghouse Evidence 

Standards’’ (WWC Evidence Standards) 

in our regulations to standardize 

references to this term. In addition, the 

Department amends the definition of 

‘‘large sample’’ in our regulation. We 

also make technical edits to our 

regulations to improve the consistency 

and clarity of the regulations. Finally, 

we redesignate a section of our 

regulations and include in that 

redesignated section an additional 

provision that allows the Secretary to 

give special consideration to projects 

supported by evidence of promise. 

DATES: These regulations are effective 

February 19, 2015.

Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., 

Room 4W319, Washington, DC 20202.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this 

document, we amend EDGAR to 

standardize a term and improve the 

consistency and clarity of our 

regulations. 

Summary of the Major Provisions of 

This Regulatory Action: The Department 

revises EDGAR to include a definition 

for ‘‘What Works Clearinghouse 

Evidence Standards,’’ provide the 

Secretary the flexibility to establish a 

separate competition for or award 

competitive preference to discretionary 

grant applications supported by 

evidence of promise, and revise certain 

definitions to improve clarity. 

References to the WWC Handbook 

The Department adds a definition of 

‘‘What Works Clearinghouse Evidence 

Standards’’ to 34 CFR part 77. This 

definition incorporates the most recent 

version of the What Works 

Clearinghouse (WWC) Procedures and 

Standards Handbook (WWC Handbook), 

Version 3.0, which was made public in 

March 2014. Instead of continuing to 

separately cite the WWC Handbook in 

various provisions of parts 75 and 77, 

we add, to part 77, a single definition 

of the WWC Evidence Standards that 

incorporates the current version of the 

WWC Handbook, and then include that 

defined term, as applicable, throughout 

parts 75 and 77. 

The WWC Handbook, first published 

in 2008, documents the systematic 

review process and the standards by 

which the WWC reviews studies. 

Version 3.0 of the WWC Handbook 

significantly expands the examples used 

to illustrate how the WWC Evidence 

Standards are applied in various 

contexts. Although previous versions of 

the WWC Handbook focused on only 

one WWC product—the intervention 

report—Version 3.0 includes 

information on several additional WWC 

products, including practice guides, 

single-study reviews, and quick reviews. 

By adding a definition of ‘‘WWC 

Evidence Standards’’ and updating the 

applicable references throughout 34 

CFR parts 75 and 77 to incorporate the 

most recent version of the WWC 

Handbook, the Department will provide 

more effective guidance to applicants 

and grantees as they design and 

implement rigorous evaluations of their 

projects. 

Special Consideration for Discretionary 

Grant Applications Demonstrating 

‘‘Evidence of Promise’’ 

These final regulations amend 

§ 75.266 and redesignate it as § 75.226. 

Previously, this section provided that 

the Secretary may give special 

consideration, through establishing a 

separate competition or awarding 

competitive preference, to discretionary 

grant applications supported by strong 

evidence of effectiveness or moderate 

evidence of effectiveness. In our 

experience using evidence in 

discretionary grant competitions, we 

have learned it is beneficial to also 

include in 34 CFR 75.266 (which we 

have redesignated as 34 CFR 75.226) a 

provision for giving special 

consideration to applications supported 

by evidence of promise, which is a less 

rigorous standard, because evidence of 

effectiveness in the education field 

continues to develop. By including 

evidence of promise in newly 

redesignated 34 CFR 75.226, we allow 

more flexibility to discretionary grant 

programs oriented towards supporting 

evidence-based projects. 

Definition of ‘‘Evidence of Promise’’ 

We amend the definition of ‘‘evidence 

of promise’’ to replace the reference to 

‘‘quasi-experimental study’’ with
