3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,

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: Evaluation of the
Pell Grant Experiments Under the
Experimental Sites Initiative.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0892.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 4,904.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,416.
Abstract: The Pell Grant Experiments
evaluation is a two-part, seven-year
demonstration study sponsored by the
U.S. Department of Education that
focuses on the effects of expanded
access to Pell grants on students’
educational outcomes, employment and
earnings. The primary outcome of
interest is (1) educational enrollment
and completion, and (2) measures of
student debt and financial aid while
secondary outcomes include (3) the
employment status and earnings of
students who participate in the study.
This study consists of two
experiments, each of which will
examine the impact of a single change
to the Pell grant eligibility criteria. The
first experiment will relax the
prohibition on receipt of Pell grants by
students with a bachelors’ degree.
Individuals eligible for the first
experiment must have a bachelor’s
degree, be unemployed or
underemployed, and pursue a
vocational training program up to one
year in duration. The second
experiment will reduce the minimum
duration and intensity levels of
programs that Pell grant recipients must
participate in from 15 weeks with 600
minimum clock hours to 8 weeks with
150 minimum clock hours. Each
experiment will operate through a set of
PGE schools that provide education and
training services that qualify as PGE
programs.
Participants in both experiments will
be randomly assigned to either (1) a
treatment group, which will have
expanded access to Pell grants; or (2) a
control group, which will not have
access. Within both experiments, the
treatment group will be very similar to
the control at the time of random
assignment except for access to Pell
grants. Subsequent differences in the
employment and earnings outcomes
between treatment and control group
members can then be attributed to Pell
grant access. The first experiment will
involve roughly 27 PGE schools with an
average of 25 students participating per
school. The second experiment will
involve roughly 27 PGE schools with an
average of 100 participating students per
school. The expected sample of both
experiments combined is approximately
3,375 students. Data for this evaluation
will come from participants’ FAFSA
applications, PGE school administrative
records, and SSA earnings statements.
The study participant enrollment period

is expected to last from November 2012

PGE schools will occur between January
and March during years 2015–2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725G (Mandatory
Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power
System: PRC Standards).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0252.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725G information
collection requirements as modified in
Docket No. RD15–2.
Abstract: The Commission is
submitting Reliability Standard PRC–
006–2 to OMB under FERC–725G 1 for
review of the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
The Commission requires the
information collected by the FERC–
725G to implement the statutory
provisions of section 215 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA).2 On August 8, 2005,
Congress enacted into law the
Electricity Modernization Act of 2005,
which is Title XII, Subtitle A, of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct
2005).3 EPAct 2005 added a new section
215 to the FPA, which required a
Commission-certified Electric
Reliability Organization (ERO) to
develop mandatory and enforceable
Reliability Standards, which are subject
to Commission review and approval.
Once approved, the Reliability
Standards may be enforced by the ERO
subject to Commission oversight, or the
Commission can independently enforce
Reliability Standards.4
On February 3, 2006, the Commission
issued Order No. 672, implementing
section 215 of the FPA.5 Pursuant to
Order No. 672, the Commission certified
one organization, North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC),

FERC ¶ 61,164 (2012). The Commission included
Reliability Standard PRC–006–1 under FERC–725A
(OMB Control No. 1902–0244). The entire burden
associated with Reliability Standard PRC–006–2
(for new requirements as well as those unchanged
from PRC–006–1) will be added to FERC–725G. In
the future, the burden (an estimated 12,672 hours)
associated with Reliability Standard PRC–006–1
will be removed from FERC–725A, to remove the
temporary double counting of those hours.
