3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each

Type of Review: New. 

Title: Understanding Effective K–3 

Reading Programs Based on Scientific 

Reading Research.

Abstract: The National Institute for 

Literacy (NIFL) is authorized under the 

No Child Left Behind Act, Public Law 

107–110, Part B, Subpart 1, Section 

1207 to ‘‘* * * identify and disseminate 

information about schools, local 

educational agencies, and State 

educational agencies that have 

effectively developed and implemented 

classroom reading programs that meet 

the requirements of this subpart 

(Reading First) * * *’’ To carry out this 

authorized activity, the NIFL is first 

conducting a set of case studies, 

identifying Schools with Effective 

Reading Programs, to be implemented 

by a research team from Education 

Development Center, Inc. (EDC). The 

NIFL then will publish findings from 

the case studies as a report and print 

and distribute it widely among 

educators and administrators working 

with children in kindergarten through 

third grades as well as reading 

researchers. The NIFL needs to collect 

the information proposed in this 

package to be able to describe in 

reasonable detail the school- and 

classroom-based reading strategies 

employed by schools with highperforming students. The NIFL 

understands its statutory charge to mean 

providing information that explains 

what the schools did and how they did 

it rather than general information from 

sources such as school Web sites. While 

the findings from case studies should 

not be construed as guidance to schools 

seeking to improve their K–3 students’ 

reading outcomes, the information from 

this study may bring to light detail that 

contributes to deeper understanding of 

effective reading instruction and 

informs future research on K–3 reading 

instruction.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC., 

20426, a motion to intervene in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

Motions to intervene, protests and 

comments may be filed electronically 

via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 

CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 

instructions on the Commission’s Web 

site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link. The 

Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings.

Commission 

[Project No. 13562–000] 

Montana Department of Natural 

Resources and Conservation; Notice 

of Competing Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments and Motions To 

Intervene 

October 19, 2009. 

On July 31, 2009, the Montana 

Department of Natural Resources and 

Conservation (MDNRC) filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Ruby River Power 

Project, which would be located at the 

existing Ruby River Dam on the Ruby 

River, in Madison County, Montana. 

The sole purpose of a preliminary 

permit, if issued, is to grant the permit 

holder priority to file a license 

application during the permit term. A 

preliminary permit does not authorize 

the permit holder to perform any land 

disturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project would use the 

existing 111-foot-high, 846-foot-long 

earthen dam with spillway, and the 

existing 635-foot-long, 90-inch 

horseshoe-shaped tunnel conduit. 

MDNRC proposes to construct and 

install: (1) A new 60-inch-diameter, 635- 

foot-long steel liner in the existing dam 

outlet conduit; (2) a new 60-inchdiameter, 100-foot-long steel penstock 

extending to a bifurcation; (3) a new 60- 

inch-diameter, 50-foot-long steel 

penstock extending from the bifurcation 

to the powerhouse; (4) a new 60-inchdiameter, 50-foot-long steel conduit 

extending from the bifurcation to an 

energy dissipation structure for excess 

flows and bypass during turbine 

outages; (5) a new powerhouse 

containing two generating units with a 

combined installed capacity of 1,800 

kilowatts, discharging flows into the 

Ruby River; (6) a new substation next to 

the powerhouse; (7) a new 25-kilovolt, 

6,000-foot-long transmission line; (8) a 

new switchyard at the interconnection 

point with the local grid; (9) a new 

approximately 650-foot-long access road 

and bridge across the river channel; (10) 

a new 50-foot by 60-foot parking area; 

and (11) appurtenant facilities. The 

proposed project would have an average 

annual generation of 7.6 gigawatt-hours.
