Download as PDF 2230 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 9 / Monday, January 14, 2008 / Notices rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES Priority Proposed Priority Under this proposed priority, grantees must ‘‘scale up’’ and evaluate models designed to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who, through gifted and talented education programs, perform at high levels of academic achievement. For this priority, ‘‘scaling up’’ means to expand a program with demonstrated effectiveness at one level (such as a school or other educational setting, student population, grade level, or academic subject area) for use in broader settings or with different populations. With regard to this priority, underrepresented groups refer to the following three groups of students: Economically disadvantaged individuals, individuals with limited English proficiency, and individuals with disabilities. To meet this priority, applicants must include all of the following in their applications: (1) Evidence from one or more scientifically based research and evaluation studies indicating that the proposed intervention has raised the achievement of students from one or more underrepresented groups in one or more core subject areas. (2) Evidence from one or more scientifically based research and evaluation studies that the proposed intervention has resulted in increased numbers of students from underrepresented groups who are prepared to participate in gifted and talented education programs. (3) Evidence that the applicant has significant expertise on its leadership team in each of the following areas: Research and program evaluation, content knowledge in one or more core academic subject areas, working with underrepresented groups, and gifted and talented education. (4) A sound plan for implementing the model in multiple settings or with multiple populations. (5) A research and evaluation plan that employs an experimental or quasiexperimental design to measure the impact of the intervention on the achievement of students who are economically disadvantaged or limited English proficient, or who have disabilities, and on the number of these students who are prepared to participate in gifted and talented education programs. Note: Evaluation methods using an experimental design are best for determining the effectiveness of interventions. Thus, when feasible, the project must use an experimental design under which VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:22 Jan 11, 2008 Jkt 214001 participants (e.g., students, teachers, classrooms, or schools) are randomly assigned to participate in the project activities being evaluated or to a control group that does not participate in the project activities being evaluated. If random assignment is not feasible, the project may use a quasi-experimental design with carefully matched comparison conditions. This alternative design attempts to approximate a randomly assigned control group by matching participants with nonparticipants having similar pre-intervention characteristics. Executive Order 12866 This notice of proposed priority has been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 12866. Under the terms of the order, we have assessed the potential costs and benefits of this regulatory action. The potential costs associated with the notice of proposed priority are those resulting from statutory requirements and those we have determined as necessary for administering this program effectively and efficiently. In assessing the potential costs and benefits—both quantitative and qualitative—of this notice of proposed priority, we have determined that the benefits of the proposed priority justify the costs. We have also determined that this regulatory action does not unduly interfere with State, local, and tribal governments in the exercise of their governmental functions. Intergovernmental Review This program is subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the Executive order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism. The Executive order relies on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance. This document provides early notification of our specific plans and actions for this program.

Congress gave the Commission jurisdiction over oil pipeline rates, charges and valuations in Pub.

There are no changes to the information that is collected on Form 73. This is a mandatory information collection requirement. 1 To Revise, Codify and Enact Without Substantive Change Certain General and Permanent Laws, Related to Transportation, as Subtitles II, III, and V-X of Title 49, U.S.C., ‘‘Transportation’’, and to Make Other Technical Improvements in the Code, 49 U.S.C. 60502 (July 5, 1994).
