For specific requirements on reporting, please go to https://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/ appforms/appforms.html. 4. Performance Measures: The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 directs Federal departments and agencies to improve VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:29 Sep 12, 2007 Jkt 211001 the effectiveness of programs by engaging in strategic planning, setting outcome-related goals for programs, and measuring program results against those goals. The goal of the Rehabilitation Services Administration’s (RSA) Rehabilitation Training: Rehabilitation Long-Term Training program is to increase the number of qualified VR personnel working in State VR agencies or related agencies. A grantee must use at least 75 percent of all grant funds for direct payment of student scholarships. Each grantee is required to track students receiving scholarships and must maintain information on the cumulative support granted to RSA scholars; program completion data for each scholar; dates each scholar’s work begins and is completed with regard to the scholar’s payback agreement, specifically the remaining number of years of work the scholar is obligated to complete; current home address; and the place of employment of individual scholars. Grantees are required to report annually to RSA on these data using the RSA Grantee Reporting Form, OMB# 1820–0617, an electronic reporting system. The RSA Grantee Reporting Form collects specific data including the number of RSA scholars entering the rehabilitation workforce, the rehabilitation field each scholar enters, and the type of employment setting each scholar chooses (e.g., State agency, nonprofit service provider, or practice group). This form allows RSA to measure results against the goal of increasing the number of qualified VR personnel working in State VR agencies or related agencies. VII.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ebenthall on PRODPC61 with NOTICES I. Information About the Project Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to identify certain pollutants, emissions of which ‘‘may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare’’ and whose presence ‘‘in the ambient air results from numerous or diverse mobile or stationary sources,’’ and to issue air quality criteria for them. These air quality criteria are to ‘‘accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the presence of such pollutant in the ambient air * * *.’’ Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. Section 109 (d) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health and welfare. EPA is also to revise the NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the revised air quality criteria. Carbon monoxide is one of six principal (or ‘‘criteria’’) pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD). The ISA and supplementary annexes are the scientific basis for the additional technical and policy assessments that form the basis for EPA decisions on the adequacy of a current NAAQS and the appropriateness of new or revised standards. Early steps in this process include announcing the beginning of this periodic NAAQS review and the development of the ISA, and NCEA requesting that the public submit scientific literature that they want to bring to the attention of the Agency as it begins this process. The Clean Air VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:29 Sep 12, 2007 Jkt 211001 Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee mandated by the Clean Air Act and part of the EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB), is charged with independent expert scientific review of EPA’s draft ISAs. As the process proceeds, the public will have opportunities to review and comment on draft CO ISAs. These opportunities will also be announced in the Federal Register. The Agency is interested in obtaining additional new information, particularly concerning toxicological studies of effects of controlled exposure to CO on laboratory animals, humans and in vitro systems as well as epidemiologic (observational) studies of health effects associated with ambient exposures of human populations to CO. EPA also seeks recent information in other areas of CO research such as chemistry and physics, sources and emissions, analytical methodology, transport and transformation in the environment, ambient concentrations and effects on public welfare or the environment. This and other selected literature relevant to a review of the NAAQS for CO will be assessed in the forthcoming CO ISA. As part of this review of the CO NAAQS, EPA intends to sponsor a workshop in January 2008 to highlight significant new and emerging CO research, and to make recommendations to the Agency regarding the design and scope of the review for the primary (health-based) CO standards to ensure that it addresses key policy-relevant issues and considers the new science that is relevant to informing our understanding of these issues. In addition, other opportunities for submission of new peer-reviewed, published (or in-press) papers will be possible as part of public comment on the additional draft documents that will be reviewed by CASAC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Project

    Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to 
identify certain pollutants, emissions of which ``may reasonably be 
anticipated to endanger public health and welfare'' and whose presence 
``in the ambient air results from numerous or diverse mobile or 
stationary sources,'' and to issue air quality criteria for them. These 
air quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the latest scientific 
knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable 
effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the 
presence of such pollutant in the ambient air * * *.'' Under section 
109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. 
Section 109 (d) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, 
if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect 
advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on 
public health and welfare. EPA is also to revise the NAAQS, if 
appropriate, based on the revised air quality criteria.
    Carbon monoxide is one of six principal (or ``criteria'') 
pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA 
reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an 
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), formerly called an Air Quality 
Criteria Document (AQCD). The ISA and supplementary annexes are the 
scientific basis for the additional technical and policy assessments 
that form the basis for EPA decisions on the adequacy of a current 
NAAQS and the appropriateness of new or revised standards. Early steps 
in this process include announcing the beginning of this periodic NAAQS 
review and the development of the ISA, and NCEA requesting that the 
public submit scientific literature that they want to bring to the 
attention of the Agency as it begins this process. The Clean Air 
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory 
committee mandated by the Clean Air Act and part of the EPA's Science 
Advisory Board (SAB), is charged with independent expert scientific 
review of EPA's draft ISAs. As the process proceeds, the public will 
have opportunities to review and comment on draft CO ISAs. These 
opportunities will also be announced in the Federal Register.
    The Agency is interested in obtaining additional new information, 
particularly concerning toxicological studies of effects of controlled 
exposure to CO on laboratory animals, humans and in vitro systems as 
well as epidemiologic (observational) studies of health effects 
associated with ambient exposures of human populations to CO. EPA also 
seeks recent information in other areas of CO research such as 
chemistry and physics, sources and emissions, analytical methodology, 
transport and transformation in the environment, ambient concentrations 
and effects on public welfare or the environment. This and other 
selected literature relevant to a review of the NAAQS for CO will be 
assessed in the forthcoming CO ISA. As part of this review of the CO 
NAAQS, EPA intends to sponsor a workshop in January 2008 to highlight 
significant new and emerging CO research, and to make recommendations 
to the Agency regarding the design and scope of the review for the 
primary (health-based) CO standards to ensure that it addresses key 
policy-relevant issues and considers the new science that is relevant 
to informing our understanding of these issues. In addition, other 
opportunities for submission of new peer-reviewed, published (or in-
press) papers will be possible as part of public comment on the 
additional draft documents that will be reviewed by CASAC.
