Jersey Avenue, NW., room 502D, Washington, DC 20208–0001. SAFEGUARDS: NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE: All physical access to the Department’s site, and the site of the Department’s contractor where this system of records is maintained, is controlled and monitored by security personnel. The computer system employed by the Department offers a high degree of resistance to tampering and circumvention. This computer system limits data access to Department and contract staff on a ‘‘need to know’’ basis, and controls individual users’’ ability to access and alter records within the system. The contractor, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR), has established a set of procedures to ensure confidentiality of data. The system ensures that information identifying individuals is in files physically separated from other research data. MPR will maintain security of the complete set of all master data files and documentation. Access to individually identifiable data will be strictly controlled. All data will be kept in locked file cabinets during nonworking hours, and work on hardcopy data will take place in a single room, except for data entry. Physical security of electronic data will also be maintained. Security features that protect project data include: Password-protected accounts that authorize users to use the MPR system but to access only specific network directories and network software; user rights and directory and file attributes that limit those who can use particular directories and files and determine how they can use them; email passwords that authorize the user to access mail services; and additional security features that the network administrator establishes for projects as needed. The contractor employees who maintain (collect, maintain, use or disseminate) data in this system must comply with the requirements of the confidentiality standards in section 183 of the ESRA (20 U.S.C. 9573). If you wish to determine whether a record exists regarding you in the system of records, contact the systems manager. Your request must meet the requirements of regulations in 34 CFR 5b.5, including proof of identity. RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: Records are maintained and disposed of in accordance with the Department’s Records Disposition Schedules (ED/ RDS) in Part 3 (Research Projects and Management Study Records) and Part 14 (Electronic Records). SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS: Associate Commissioner, Evaluation Division, National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, 555 New VerDate jul<14>2003 15:34 Aug 04, 2005 Jkt 205001 RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURE: If you wish to gain access to your record in the system of records, contact the system manager. Your request must meet the requirements of regulations in 34 CFR 5b.5, including proof of identity. CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURE: If you wish to contest the content of a record regarding you in the system of records, contact the system manager. Your request must meet the requirements of regulations in 34 CFR 5b.7, including proof of identity. RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: The system includes information that is taken from teachers directly, such as the teachers’ social security numbers; the teachers’ demographic information—such as race/ethnicity, age, and educational background. It also includes information obtained from two classroom observations of the teachers from trained researchers; the results of the teachers’ standardized test scores (e.g., existing SAT or ACT scores), which are obtained from the College Board or ACT with the teachers’ consent; and the standardized test scores of the teachers’ students, which are obtained directly from the students in the teachers’ classes. EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM: None.

Notice of availability. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Environmental Management (EM) announces the availability of the Remediation of the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Final Environmental Impact Statement, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah (DOE/EIS–0355)(FEIS). PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The FEIS has been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500–1508) for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and DOE’s NEPA Implementing Procedures (10 CFR Part 1021). The FEIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with remediating contaminated soils, tailings, and ground water at the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Site (Moab site), Grand County, Utah, and contaminated soils in adjacent public and private properties (vicinity properties) near the Moab site. The FEIS analyzes one on-site and three off-site alternative disposal locations for remediation of surface contamination; one alternative for remediation of contaminated ground water; and the No Action Alternative. Remediation alternatives for the disposal of surface contamination include on-site disposal of the mill tailings at their current location in Moab, Utah; and three off-site disposal alternatives in Utah: Klondike Flats, Crescent Junction, and the White Mesa Mill. For transportation of the mill tailings to the off-site alternatives, three modes have been considered: Truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The FEIS identifies Crescent Junction as DOE’s preferred alternative for disposal of the Moab mill tailings and other contaminated materials using predominantly rail transportation. Under the preferred alternative, DOE would remove the contaminated mill tailings from adjacent to the Colorado River and relocate them at the Crescent Junction site. The FEIS also identifies active ground water remediation as DOE’s preferred alternative for contaminated ground water to eliminate the potential ongoing impacts to aquatic species in the Colorado River resulting from contaminated ground water discharges. DATES: Copies of the FEIS were distributed to Members of Congress, American Indian Tribal governments, state and local governments, other Federal agencies, and organizations and individuals who are known to have an interest in the FEIS on July 25–26, 2005. DOE plans to issue a Record of Decision for the Moab FEIS no sooner than September 6, 2005.

Impact Statement, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah, Final 
Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of 
Environmental Management (EM) announces the availability of the 
Remediation of the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Final Environmental 
Impact Statement, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah (DOE/EIS-
0355)(FEIS). The FEIS has been prepared in accordance with the 
regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (Title 40 Code of 
Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500-1508) for implementing the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and DOE's NEPA Implementing 
Procedures (10 CFR Part 1021). The FEIS analyzes the potential 
environmental impacts associated with remediating contaminated soils, 
tailings, and ground water at the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Site (Moab 
site), Grand County, Utah, and contaminated soils in adjacent public 
and private properties (vicinity properties) near the Moab site.
    The FEIS analyzes one on-site and three off-site alternative 
disposal locations for remediation of surface contamination; one 
alternative for remediation of contaminated ground water; and the No 
Action Alternative. Remediation alternatives for the disposal of 
surface contamination include on-site disposal of the mill tailings at 
their current location in Moab, Utah; and three off-site disposal 
alternatives in Utah: Klondike Flats, Crescent Junction, and the White 
Mesa Mill. For transportation of the mill tailings to the off-site 
alternatives, three modes have been considered: Truck, rail, and slurry 
pipeline.
    The FEIS identifies Crescent Junction as DOE's preferred 
alternative for disposal of the Moab mill tailings and other 
contaminated materials using predominantly rail transportation. Under 
the preferred alternative, DOE would remove the contaminated mill 
tailings from adjacent to the Colorado River and relocate them at the 
Crescent Junction site. The FEIS also identifies active ground water 
remediation as DOE's preferred alternative for contaminated ground 
water to eliminate the potential ongoing impacts to aquatic species in 
the Colorado River resulting from contaminated ground water discharges.

DATES: Copies of the FEIS were distributed to Members of Congress, 
American Indian Tribal governments, state and local governments, other 
Federal agencies, and organizations and individuals who are known to
