4. Performance Measures: Under the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department has 

established a set of performance 

measures, including long-term 

measures, that are designed to yield 

information on various aspects of the 

effectiveness and quality of the 

Personnel Development to Improve 

Services and Results for Children with 

Disabilities program. These measures 

include: (1) The percentage of projects 

that incorporate scientifically based 

practices into the curriculum; (2) the 

percentage of scholars who exit training 

programs prior to completion due to 

poor academic performance; (3) the 

percentage of degree or certification 

recipients who are working in the 

area(s) for which they were trained 

upon program completion; (4) the 

percentage of degree or certification 

recipients who are working in the 

area(s) for which they were trained 

upon program completion and are fully 

qualified under the IDEA; (5) the 

percentage of scholars completing the 

IDEA-funded training programs who are 

knowledgeable and skilled in 

scientifically based practices for infants, 

toddlers, and children with disabilities; 

(6) the percentage of low incidence 

positions that are filled by personnel 

who are fully qualified under the IDEA; 

and (7) the percentage of program 

graduates who maintain employment for 

three or more years in the area(s) for 

which they were trained. 

Grantees may be asked to participate 

in assessing and providing information 

on these aspects of program quality.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC–546 

(Certificated Rate Filings: Gas Pipeline 

Rates; OMB Control Number 1902– 

0155) is required to implement sections 

4, 5, 16 and 7(e) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717–717w). NGA 

sections 4, 5 and 16 authorize the 

Commission to inquire into rate 

structures and methodologies and to set 

rates at a just and reasonable level. 

Section 7(e) authorizes the Commission 

to set initial rates that are in keeping 

with the public convenience and 

necessity. 

The Commission uses the FERC–546 

information to examine service and 

tariff provisions for the transportation 

and storage, and/or sale of natural gas in 

interstate commerce filed with the 

Commission. 

When a pipeline company decides to 

construct and operate a jurisdictional 

pipeline, it files an application with the 

Commission and receives a Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity. As 

part of its review, the Commission 

considers and authorizes ‘‘initial rates’’ 

for transportation and/or storage service 

for the pipeline. Initial rates are 

established for new services authorized 

in certificate proceedings and must meet 

a public convenience and necessity 

standard. Initial rates established in the 

certificate proceeding remain in effect 

until such rates are reviewed by the 

Commission in a rate proceeding. The 

information submitted by the pipeline 

company to the Commission in these 

applications for initial rates is the 

subject of FERC–546. 

The Commission’s reporting 

requirements for this information 

collection are provided in 18 CFR 154.4, 

154.7, 154.202, 154.204–.209, and 

154.602–.603. Failure to collect this 

information would prevent the 

Commission from monitoring and 

properly evaluating pipeline proposals 

to add or modify services. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no change to the 

existing reporting requirements in 

FERC–546. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

at: 

FERC data collection—FERC–546 

Number of 

respondents 

annually 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours 

per response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1)×(2)×(3) 

Natural Gas Companies .................................................................................. 77 4 40 12,320 

Storage Operators ........................................................................................... 3 1 350 1,050 

Total .......................................................................................................... ........................ ........................ ........................ 13,370 

The estimated cost burden 1 to 

respondents is $824,678.31 (13,370 

hours divided by 2,080 hours per year 

times $128,297 2 equals $824,678.31). 

The cost per respondent is $10,308.48. 

The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization, rather 

than any one particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Commission, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology,
