3. Key proposed project features to be
evaluated in the DEIS include the
following:
a. Rehabilitation of turbines including
Auto Venting Turbines to improve DO
levels in the tailwaters.
b. Minimum releases to ensure
continuous flows between periods of
generation.
c. The effects of increased tailwater
flows on tailwater parks, downstream
fishing areas, adjacent low lying
farmlands, erosion of riverbanks,
cultural archaeological and historic
sites, and changes to the hydraulics and
hydrology of the rivers.
d. Other alternatives studied will
include: No Action; restoration to the
‘‘original’’ 1948 condition; refurbishing
existing units; oxygenating water in the
dam forebays prior to release; and
spilling water through the sluice gates.
4. This notice serves to solicit scoping
comments from the public; federal, state
and local agencies and officials; Indian
Tribes; and other interested parties in
order to consider and evaluate the
impacts of this proposed activity. Any
comments received during the comment
period will be considered in the NEPA
process. Comments are used to assess
impacts on fish and wildlife,
endangered species, historic properties,
water quality, water supply and
conservation, economics, aesthetics,
wetlands, flood hazards, floodplain
values, land use, navigation, shore
erosion and accretion, recreation, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production,
mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, general
environmental effects, cumulative
effects, and in general, the needs and
welfare of the people. Public meetings
may be held, however, times, dates, or
locations have not been determined.
5. Other federal, state and local
approvals required for the proposed
work include coordination with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
6. Significant issues to be analyzed in
depth in the DEIS include impacts to
tailwater fisheries, recreation,
economics, water quality, historic and
cultural resources, streambank erosion,
future power demands, and cumulative
impacts. The DEIS should be available
in January 2008.

AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), Detroit District, is
issuing this notice to announce the
availability for public review and
feedback of the final bi-national report
for the Great Lakes—St. Lawrence
Seaway (GLSLS) Study. This study was
conducted jointly with Canada and was
overseen by a steering committee that
included representatives from the
United States Department of
Transportation, Transport Canada,
United States Fish and Wildlife Service,
Environment Canada, the St. Lawrence
Seaway Development Corporation, the
United States Army Corps of Engineers,
and the St. Lawrence Seaway
Management Corporation. The study
evaluated the commercial navigation
infrastructure needs of the GLSLS as it
is currently configured, and does not
make any recommendations related to
the implementation of any physical
project modifications. The study
assessed ongoing maintenance and longterm capital requirements to ensure the
continuing viability of the system,
targeting the engineering, economic and
environmental implications of those
needs as they pertain to the marine
transportation infrastructure upon
which commercial navigation depends.
The public is invited to provide
feedback which will be provided to the
above noted partner agencies for their
consideration as each assess the study
findings related to future system’s
operation and maintenance.
DATES: The Final Report will be
available for public review starting
November 26, 2007, and any written
feedback received by January 18, 2008
will be posted to the study Web site
identified below.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Smaller
Learning Communities (SLC) program
awards discretionary grants to local
educational agencies (LEAs) to support
the implementation of SLCs and
activities to improve student academic
achievement in large public high
schools with enrollments of 1,000 or
more students. SLCs include structures
such as freshman academies, multigrade academies organized around
career interests or other themes,
‘‘houses’’ in which small groups of
students remain together throughout
high school, and autonomous schoolswithin-a-school, as well as
personalization strategies, such as
student advisories, family advocate
systems, and mentoring programs.
Priority: This priority is from the
notice of final priority, requirements,
and selection criteria for this program
published in the Federal Register on
May 18, 2007 (72 FR 28426).
Absolute Priority: For new awards
made using FY 2007 funds and any
subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applicants from this competition, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
Preparing All Students to Succeed in
Postsecondary Education and Careers.
This priority supports projects that
create or expand SLCs that are part of
