and reference these and other
requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section of
this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The
GAN also incorporates your approved
application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: At the end of your
project period, you must submit a final
performance report, including financial
information, as directed by the
Secretary. If you receive a multi-year
award, you must submit an annual
performance report that provides the
most current performance and financial
expenditure information as specified by
the Secretary in 34 CFR 75.118. In
addition, to satisfy the requirements of
the priority in this notice, you must
submit annual data on each scholar who
receives grant support through this
program.
4. Performance Measures: Under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA), the Department has
established a set of performance
measures that are designed to yield
information on the effectiveness of the
Personnel Preparation program. These
measures include the extent to which
scholars are successfully completing
their program and the extent to which
they are employed in the area(s) trained
upon program completion.
If funded, applicants will be required
to collect and report data on grantsupported scholars through the PPD
Web site at https://www.oespppd.org (see
paragraph (b) under the Absolute
Priority section of this notice).
Beyond the performance measures
specifically described in this notice, the
Department is also currently developing
measures that will be designed to yield
information on various aspects of
program quality (e.g., the extent to
which the curricula of training programs
funded under this competition reflect
the current knowledge base on effective
practices; and the extent to which
program graduates maintain
employment for three or more years in
the area(s) for which they were trained).
Grantees will be asked to participate in
assessing and providing information on
program quality.
We will notify grantees of the
performance measures once they are
developed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–521 ‘‘Payments
for Benefits from Headwater Benefits’’
(OMB No. 1902–0087) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of section 10(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 803). The
FPA authorizes the Commission to
determine headwater benefits received
by downstream hydropower project
owners. Headwater benefits are the
additional energy production possible at
a downstream hydropower project
resulting from the regulation of river
flows by an upstream storage reservoir.
E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 57 / Friday, March 25, 2005 / Notices
When the Commission completes a
study of a river basin, it determines
headwater benefits charges that will be
apportioned among the various
downstream beneficiaries. A headwater
benefits charge, and the cost incurred by
the Commission to complete an
evaluation are paid by downstream
hydropower project owners. In essence,
the owners of non-federal hydropower
projects that directly benefit from a
headwater(s) improvement must pay an
equitable portion of the annual charges
for interest, maintenance, and
depreciation of the headwater project to
the U.S. Treasury. The regulations
provide for apportionment of these costs
between the headwater project and
downstream projects based on
downstream energy gains and propose
equitable apportionment methodology
that can be applied to all rivers basins
in which headwater improvements are
built. The data the Commission requires
owners of non-federal hydropower
projects to file for determining annual
charges is specified in 18 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 11.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no changes to the
existing collection of data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
as:
Number of respondents annually
(1)
Number of responses
per respondent
(2)
Average burden hours
per response
(3)
Total annual burden hours
(1) × (2) × (3)
3 .....................................................................

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $6,262.00. (120 hours/2080 hours per
year times $108,558 per year average per
employee = $ 6,263). The cost per
respondent is $191.00.
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 estimate 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
VerDate jul<14>2003

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,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.; Notice of
Issuance of Order
March 18, 2005.
JPMorgan Chase, N.A. (JPMorgan)
filed an application for market-based
rate authority, with an accompanying
rate schedule. The proposed rate
schedule provides for wholesale sales of
energy, capacity and ancillary services
at market-based rates. JPMorgan also
requested waiver of various Commission
regulations. In particular, JPMorgan
requested that the Commission grant
blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34
of all future issuances of securities and
assumptions of liability by JPMorgan.
On March 17, 2005, the Commission
granted the request for blanket approval
under part 34, subject to the following:
Any person desiring to be heard or to
protest the blanket approval of
issuances of securities or assumptions of
liability by JPMorgan should file a
motion to intervene or protest with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

and 214 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211,

Notice is hereby given that the
deadline for filing motions to intervene
or protest, is April 18, 2005.
Absent a request to be heard in
opposition by the deadline above,
JPMorgan is authorized to issue
securities and assume obligations or
liabilities as a guarantor, indorser,
surety, or otherwise in respect of any
security of another person; provided
that such issuance or assumption is for
some lawful object within the corporate
purposes of JPMorgan, compatible with
the public interest, and is reasonably
necessary or appropriate for such
purposes.
The Commission reserves the right to
require a further showing that neither
public nor private interests will be
adversely affected by continued
approval of JPMorgan’s issuances of
securities or assumptions of liability.

Commission’s Order are available from
