Washington County, PA. The overall
purpose of the project is to provide

and to support economic development
plans in southwestern Pennsylvania.
The DEIS assesses the environmental
effects of the various alternatives
developed to address the project needs.
DATES: Comments concerning this DEIS
should be submitted by February 8,
2008.

primary Federal concern is the

the United States, and potential impacts
on the human environment from such
activities. The Corps’ decision will be to
either issue or deny a Department of the

past several years, including a series of
three meetings in August 2005 to
present the alternatives developed in
detail in the DEIS. The U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) published a Notice
of Intent (NOI) in the Federal Register
on October 23, 2007 (FR Doc. E7–

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) provide interested
Federal agencies and the public an early
opportunity to comment on information
collection requests. OMB may amend or
waive the requirement for public
consultation to the extent that public
participation in the approval process
would defeat the purpose of the
information collection, violate State or
Federal law, or substantially interfere
with any agency’s ability to perform its
statutory obligations. The IC Clearance
Official, Regulatory Information
Management Services, Office of
Management, publishes that notice
containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. Each
proposed information collection,
grouped by office, contains the
following: (1) Type of review requested,
e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or
reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of
the collection; (4) Description of the

Abstract: The DC School Choice
Incentive Program, authorized by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2004, awarded a grant to the
Washington Scholarship Fund that will
administer scholarships to students who
reside in the District of Columbia and
come from households whose incomes
do not exceed 185% of the poverty line.
Priority is given to students who are
currently attending schools in need of
improvement, as defined by Title I. To
assist in the student selection and
assignment process, the information to
be collected will be used to determine
the eligibility of those students who are
interested in the available scholarships.
Also, since the authorizing statute
requires an evaluation we are proposing
to collect certain family demographic
information because they are important
predictors of school success. Finally, we
are asking to collect information about
parental participation and satisfaction
because these are key topics that the
statute requires the evaluation to
address.
This information collection is being
submitted under the Streamlined
Clearance Process for Discretionary
Grant Information Collections (1890–
0001). Therefore, the 30-day public
comment period notice will be the only
public comment notice published for
this information collection.
Requests for copies of the information
collection submission for OMB review
may be accessed from https://
edicsweb.ed.gov, by selecting the
‘‘Browse Pending Collections’’ link and
by clicking on link number 3526. When
you access the information collection,
