Abstract: This study seeks to examine the impact on student achievement of a combination of a comprehensive English Language Learner (ELL) student program, On Our Way to English [OWE], and a professional development course, Responsive Instruction for Success in English [RISE]. Schools identified as having a high percentage of Spanishspeaking ELL students will be randomly assigned to either the treatment condition or a control group. All grade 1–5 classrooms at each school will participate in the condition assigned to the school. This study begins in 2007. OWE and RISE will be implemented in treatment schools during the 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 school years. Data on classroom practices, student activities, and student language and literacy will be collected each of these years. Intermediate and cumulative effects of the interventions will be analyzed using year-end data and data collected over the course of the study. Other analyses may explore education mechanisms that contribute to variation in the impact in achievement.

Under cprice-sewell on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: VerDate Aug<31>2005 11:38 Jun 11, 2007 Jkt 211001 OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act) requires States to develop and implement a program for issuing operating permits to all sources that fall under any Act definition of ‘‘major’’ and certain other non-major sources that are subject to Federal air quality regulations. The Act further requires EPA to develop regulations that establish the minimum requirements for those State operating permits programs, to oversee implementation of the State programs, and to operate a Federal operating permits program in areas not subject to an approved State program. The EPA regulations setting forth requirements for the State operating permits programs are at part 70, title 40, chapter I of the Code of Federal Regulations. These are referred to as the ‘‘Part 70 Operating Permit Regulations,’’ which are the subject of the ICR addressed in this notice. In implementing title V of the Act and EPA’s part 70 operating permits regulations, State and local permitting agencies must develop programs and submit them to EPA for approval (section 502(d)), and sources subject to the program must develop operating permit applications and submit them to the permitting authority within 1 year after program approval (section 503). Permitting authorities will then issue permits (section 503(c)) and thereafter enforce, revise, and renew those permits at no more than 5-year intervals (section 502(d)). Permit applications and proposed permits will be provided to, and are subject to review by, EPA (section 505(a)). All information submitted by a source and the issued permit shall also be available for public review except for confidential information which will be protected from disclosure (section 503(e)). Sources will semi-annually submit compliance monitoring reports to the permitting authorities (section 504(a)). The EPA PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 has the responsibility to oversee implementation of the program and to administer a Federal operating permits program in the event a program is not approved for a State (section 502(d)(3)) or if EPA determines the permitting authority is not adequately administering its approved program (section 502(i)(4)). The activities to carry out these tasks are considered mandatory and necessary for implementation of title V and the proper operation of the operating permits program. This notice provides updated burden estimates from a previously approved ICR. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for the part 70 collection of information is estimated to average 248 hours per permitted source, and the annual burden for permitting authorities to administer a part 70 program is estimated to average 12,050 hours (about 80 hours per permitted source). Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: Respondents to this information collection come from two groups: (1) Sources required to obtain an operating permit and (2) permitting authorities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 16,818 sources and 112 permitting authorities. Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, and every five years. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,525,639 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $220,996,244, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 416,091 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart R, were promulgated on December 14, 1994 (59 FR 64318). The standards were revised on June 26, 1995 (60 FR 32913), to correct errors in the printing of the emission screening equation in the final standards, and amended on February 29, 1996 (61 FR 7723), to extend the initial compliance date for the equipment leak standard. The standards were amended again June 12, 1996 (61 FR 29875), to clarify the coverage of gasoline loading racks at refineries with through-puts greater than 75,700 liters/ day. Updated direct final standards were promulgated on February 28, 1997 (62 FR 9092), to implement a proposed settlement with the American Petroleum Institute. These regulations apply to facilities that are new or existing pipeline breakout stations or bulk gasoline terminals with through-puts greater than 75,700 liters/day, commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP. Specifically, data is being collected on performance of the continuous monitoring systems for gasoline vapor and related hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), any excess emissions, and any operating parameter exceedances. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated State or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. E:\FR\FM\12JNN1.SGM 12JNN1

    Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act) requires States to 
develop and implement a program for issuing operating permits to all 
sources that fall under any Act definition of ``major'' and certain 
other non-major sources that are subject to Federal air quality 
regulations. The Act further requires EPA to develop regulations that 
establish the minimum requirements for those State operating permits 
programs, to oversee implementation of the State programs, and to 
operate a Federal operating permits program in areas not subject to an 
approved State program.
    The EPA regulations setting forth requirements for the State 
operating permits programs are at part 70, title 40, chapter I of the 
Code of Federal Regulations. These are referred to as the ``Part 70 
Operating Permit Regulations,'' which are the subject of the ICR 
addressed in this notice.
    In implementing title V of the Act and EPA's part 70 operating 
permits regulations, State and local permitting agencies must develop 
programs and submit them to EPA for approval (section 502(d)), and 
sources subject to the program must develop operating permit 
applications and submit them to the permitting authority within 1 year 
after program approval (section 503). Permitting authorities will then 
issue permits (section 503(c)) and thereafter enforce, revise, and 
renew those permits at no more than 5-year intervals (section 502(d)). 
Permit applications and proposed permits will be provided to, and are 
subject to review by, EPA (section 505(a)). All information submitted 
by a source and the issued permit shall also be available for public 
review except for confidential information which will be protected from 
disclosure (section 503(e)). Sources will semi-annually submit 
compliance monitoring reports to the permitting authorities (section 
504(a)). The EPA has the responsibility to oversee implementation of 
the program and to administer a Federal operating permits program in 
the event a program is not approved for a State (section 502(d)(3)) or 
if EPA determines the permitting authority is not adequately 
administering its approved program (section 502(i)(4)). The activities 
to carry out these tasks are considered mandatory and necessary for 
implementation of title V and the proper operation of the operating 
permits program. This notice provides updated burden estimates from a 
previously approved ICR.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for the part 70 collection of information is estimated to 
average 248 hours per permitted source, and the annual burden for 
permitting authorities to administer a part 70 program is estimated to 
average 12,050 hours (about 80 hours per permitted source). Burden 
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 
information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed 
to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize 
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and 
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and 
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to 
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements 
which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond 
to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and 
review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Respondents to this information 
collection come from two groups: (1) Sources required to obtain an 
operating permit and (2) permitting authorities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 16,818 sources and 112 permitting 
authorities.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, and every five years.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,525,639 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $220,996,244, includes $0 annualized 
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 416,091 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase in burden for sources and 
permitting authorities is due to expected changes in the existing 
information collection activities to be
