SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Health Education 

Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program: 

Lender’s Application for Insurance 

Claim Form and Request for Collection 

Assistance Form. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0127. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 4,613. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 875. 

Abstract: The HEAL Lender’s 

application for Insurance Claim and the 

request for Collection Assistance forms 

are used in the administration of the 

Health Education Assistant Loan 

(HEAL) program. The HEAL program 

provided federally insured loans to 

students in certain health professions 

disciplines, and these forms are used in 

the administration of the HEAL 

program. The Lender’s Application for 

Insurance Claim is used by the lending 

institution to request payment of a claim 

by the Federal Government. The 

Request for Collection Assistance form 

is used by the lender to request 

proclaims assistance from the 

Department. Section 525 of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, 

transferred the collection of the Health 

Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) 

program loans from the U.S. Department 

of Health and Human Services (HHS) to 

the U.S. Department of Education (ED).

Reopening; Applications for New 

Awards; Personnel Development To 

Improve Services and Results for 

Children With Disabilities—Early 

Childhood Personnel Center 

AGENCY: Office of Special Education and 

Rehabilitative Services, Department of 

Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On April 19, 2017, we 

published in the Federal Register (82 

FR 18447) a notice inviting applications 

(NIA) for the Personnel Development to 

Improve Services and Results for 

Children with Disabilities—Early 

Childhood Personnel Center 

competition. The NIA established a 

deadline date of June 5, 2017, for the 

transmittal of applications. This notice 

reopens the competition until 

September 11, 2017. 

DATES: 

Deadline for Transmittal of 

Applications: September 11, 2017. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: No 

applications received in response to the 

NIA were funded because the applicants 

did not adequately address the selection 

criteria for the competition. Therefore, 

we are reopening the competition to 

allow applicants to submit or resubmit 

applications that meet the requirements 

in the NIA, in order to ensure that State 

Part C and Part B, section 619 programs 

receive the technical assistance 

necessary to implement high-quality 

Comprehensive Systems of Personnel 

Development. 

We have eliminated the formatting 

and page-limit requirements specified in 

the NIA. Further, the specification in 

the NIA that the Secretary will not 

consider budgets above the maximum 

award amount is no longer applicable. 

However, we will only fund a successful 

application up to $2,000,000 for any 

single budget period of 12 months. 

Applicants that have already 

submitted applications under the FY 

2017 competition are encouraged to 

review their applications and determine 

whether they have met all eligibility 

requirements and adequately addressed 

the selection criteria in the NIA and the 

application package, which is available 

at www.grants.gov. 

Applications that were previously 

deemed ineligible for review must be 

resubmitted to be considered for review. 

If a new application is not submitted by 

an applicant whose application was 

reviewed, the Department will use the 

application that was submitted before 

4:30:00 p.m., Washington DC time, on 

June 5, 2017, 4:30:00 p.m. 

Finally, this competition is subject to 

intergovernmental review as set forth in 

Executive Order 12372 and the 

regulations in 34 CFR part 79. However, 

under 34 CFR 79.8(a), we waive 

intergovernmental review in order to 

make an award by the end of FY 2017. 

Note: All information in the NIA for this 

competition remains the same, except for the 

deadline for the transmittal of applications, 

the formatting and page limit requirements, 

the mandatory page limit, the eligibility of 

applications that exceed the maximum award 

amount, and the intergovernmental review 

requirements. 

Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1462 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–717, Open Access SameTime information System and Standards 

for Business Practices & Communication 

Protocols. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0173. 

Type of Request: Three-year approval 

of the FERC–717 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission directs all 

public utilities that own, control or 

operate facilities for transmitting energy 

in interstate commerce to provide 

certain types of information regarding 

their transmission operations on an 

Open Access Same-time Information 

System (OASIS). The Commission does 

not believe that open-access 

nondiscriminatory transmission services 

can be completely realized until it 

removes real-world obstacles that 

prevent transmission customers from 

competing effectively with the 

Transmission Provider. One of the 

obstacles is unequal access to 

transmission information. The 

Commission believes that transmission 

customers must have simultaneous 

access to the same information available 

to the Transmission Provider if truly 

nondiscriminatory transmission services 

are to be a reality. 

The Commission also established 

Standards of Conduct requiring that 

personnel engaged in transmission 

system operations function 

independently from personnel engaged 

in marketing functions. The Standards 

of Conduct were designed to prevent 

employees of a public utility (or any of 

its affiliates) engaged in marketing 

functions from preferential access to 

OASIS-related information or from 

engaging in unduly discriminatory 

business practices. Companies were 

required to separate their transmission 

operations/reliability functions from 

their marketing/merchant functions and 

prevent system operators from 

providing merchant employees and 

employees of affiliates with 

transmission-related information not 

available to all customers at the same 

time through public posting on the 

OASIS. 

Type of Respondents: Transmission 

Owners and Transmission Operators. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The 

Commission estimates a reduction in 

the annual public reporting burden for 

the FERC–717. The numbers comport 

two separate entities: Transmission 

Owners and Transmission Operators. 

The respondent estimate provide 

corresponds to 170 Transmission 

Operators. The rational is that many 

Transmission Owners have elected to 

turn over operational control of their 

collective transmission systems to 

Transmission Operators, including 

RTOs/IS0s (as authorized in 18 CFR 

37.5). These Transmission Operators 

offer OASIS access to the collective 

systems facilitating a single OASIS 

transmission request serving multiple 

transmission systems. As a result of 

these efficiency gains, the lower 

respondent count is appropriate. For 

completeness, we ascribe the reduction 

in Transmission Owners to mergers and 

acquisitions occurring during the time 

periods examined. 

Many Transmission Owners have 

turned over operational control of their 

collective transmission systems to 

Transmission Operators, including 

RTOs/ISOs. As a result of the efficiency 

gains, and an overestimate of the 

respondents in our past request, we are 

submitting a more accurate number of 

respondents. The changes in business 

practice standards from version to 

version requires a different number of 

hours each time a respondent submits 

there response. The estimate below 

reflects the work associated with the 

most recent version of the standards:
