SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

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 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

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 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or

Abstract: The Higher Education 

Opportunity Act of 2008 calls for annual 

reports from states and institutions of 

higher education (IHEs) on the quality 

of teacher preparation and state teacher 

certification and licensure (Pub. L. 110– 

315, sections 205–208). The purpose of 

the reports is to provide greater 

accountability in the preparation of the 

nation’s teaching forces and to provide 

information and incentives for its 

improvement. IHEs that have teacher 

preparation programs must report 

annually to their states on the 

performance of their program 

completers on teacher certification or 

licensure tests. States, in turn, must 

report test performance information, 

institution by institution, to the 

Secretary of Education. They must also 

report on their requirements for teacher 

certification and licensure, state 

standards, alternative routes to 

certification, low performing teacher 

preparation programs and related items.

k. Project Description: The existing 

project consists of the following: (1) 

Spada Lake, with a surface area of 1,802 

acres at a normal maximum water 

surface elevation of 1,445 feet msl; (2) 

Culmback dam, a 640-foot-long, 262- 

foot-high earth and rockfill dam with a 

crest elevation of 1,470 feet msl located 

at River Mile (RM) 16.5 on the Sultan 

River; (3) a concrete morning glory 

spillway with a crest elevation of 1,450 

feet msl located approximately 250 feet 

from the right bank; (4) a system of 

conduits and valves under the dam 

which provide the minimum flow 

downstream of Culmback dam; (5) a 

110-foot-tall concrete powerhouse 

intake structure located approximately 

250 feet upstream of the dam with three 

20-foot movable panels to allow 

withdrawal from different depths; (6) a 

penstock consisting of a 3.8-mile-long, 

14-foot-diameter unlined tunnel leading 

to a 3.7-mile-long, 10-foot-diameter 

underground pipeline; (7) a two-story 

reinforced-concrete powerhouse located 

at RM 4.3; (8) four generating units with 

a total installed capacity of 111.8 MW; 

Units 1 and 2 are 47.5 MW Pelton 

turbines, which discharge water directly 

into a 40-foot-long discharge canal to 

the Sultan River; Units 3 and 4 are 8.4 

MW Francis turbines, which discharge 

water through the Lake Chaplain water 

supply pipeline; (9) the approximately 

3.5-mile-long, 72-inch-diameter Lake 

Chaplain water supply pipeline, which 

routes water from the Francis turbines 

to the Portal 2 structure at Lake 

Chaplain; (10) the Portal 2 structure,

a 1.5-mile-long, concrete-lined tunnel 

and a 2,000-foot-long, 72-inch-diameter 

concrete pipeline connecting Lake 

Chaplain and the Sultan River 

immediately upstream of the diversion 

dam; (12) a 120-foot-long, 20-foot-high, 

concrete gravity diversion dam which 

was originally constructed to divert 

water from the Sultan River to Lake 

Chaplain; and (13) other appurtenant 

equipment. Project operations are 

guided by reservoir rule curves which 

are designed to minimize spill at Spada 

Lake while providing minimum flow 

releases to the Sultan River downstream 

of the diversion dam. The District 

proposes the following changes to the 

project: (1) Modifications to the project 

boundary that include additional land 

and exclude certain land included in 

the existing project boundary; (2) a new 

Operations Plan based on revised Spada
