SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

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 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Acting 

Director, 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 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment.

Abstract: To assist schools in 

attracting, retaining and motivating 

effective teachers and principals, in 

2006 the U.S. Department of Education 

launched the Teacher Incentive Fund, 

which supports comprehensive 

compensation reform activities 

including bonus pay-for-performance 

(PFP), career advancement and 

professional development. The purpose 

of this evaluation is to describe the 

implementation of the program and its 

relationship to any increases in 

recruitment and retention of effective 

teachers and principals. If feasible, this 

evaluation will also seek to analyze 

TIF’s relationship to increasing student 

achievement.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 13498–000] 

SARA, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary 

Permit Application Accepted for Filing 

and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

June 17, 2009. 

On June 2, 2009, SARA, Inc. filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the SWAVE Catalina Green 

Wave Energy Project, located in the 

Pacific Ocean approximately 0.75 mile 

off the west coast of Santa Catalina 

Island, on submerged lands of the State 

of California. 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 project would consist of an array 

of 10–40 SWAVE buoys, mounted in a 

staggered array in about 225 to 300 feet 

of water. The project zone is a rectangle 

about 0.5 nautical mile wide by 1.75 

nautical miles long. The exact layout of 

the buoy array would be determined 

once a oceanographic site survey has 

been completed. The units would be 

designed with a peak capacity of 150 

kilowatts each, for a total peak capacity 

of the 1.5–6 megawatts. The buoys 

would be secured in place with a 

mooring system. The buoys themselves 

would be easy to disconnect from their 

mooring to allow easy removal in the 

case they are found to cause 

environmental damage. The buoy array 

would be connected to an underwater 

junction box and that conditions the 

power and transmits it to shore in the 

vicinity of the city of Avalon through a 

high-voltage power transmission cable.
