SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Advisory Committee on Student
Financial Assistance is established
under Section 491 of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 as amended by
Public Law 100–50 (20 U.S.C. 1098).
The Advisory Committee serves as an
independent source of advice and
counsel to the Congress and the
Secretary of Education on student
financial aid policy. Since its inception,
the congressional mandate requires the
Advisory Committee to conduct
objective, nonpartisan, and independent
analyses on important aspects of the
student assistance programs under Title
IV of the Higher Education Act, and to
make recommendations that will result
in the maintenance of access to
postsecondary education for low- and
middle-income students. In addition,
Congress expanded the Advisory
Committee’s mission in the Higher
Education Amendments of 1998 to
include several important areas: access,
Title IV modernization, distance
education, and early information and
needs assessment. Specifically, the
Advisory Committee is to review,
monitor and evaluate the Department of
Education’s progress in these areas and

report recommended improvements to
Congress and the Secretary.
The Advisory Committee has
scheduled this one-day hearing to
discuss release of its new report related
to its congressionally requested study to
make textbooks more affordable
(Textbook Study). This one-year study,
was requested by the U.S. House of
Representatives Committee on
Education and Labor (formerly
Education and the Workforce) to
investigate further the problem of rising
textbook prices and determine the
impact of rising textbook prices on
students’ ability to afford a
postsecondary education. In addition,
other discussions will focus on two
components of the Advisory
Committee’s three-year Innovative
Pathways Study: Expected Family
Contribution and early financial aid
information.
The proposed agenda includes expert
testimony and discussions by prominent
higher education community leaders,
Congressional staff, state
representatives, and institutions on (a)
the Advisory Committee’s Textbook
Study recommendations; (b) legislative
efforts to simplify the student aid
application and delivery process; and
(c) the National Advising Corps. The
Advisory Committee will also conduct a
public comment and discussion session.

accommodations for a disability in order

On October 6, 2006, the Commission
staff granted CIG’s request to utilize the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned
Docket No. PF06–36–000 to staff
activities involving the CIG’s expansion
project. Now, as of the filing of CIG’s
application on April 27, 2007, the NEPA
Pre-Filing Process for this project has
ended. From this time forward, CIG’s
proceeding will be conducted in Docket
No. CP07–207–000, as noted in the
caption of this Notice.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the below listed
comment date, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC.
20426, a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
