Download as PDF 16660 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 61 / Friday, March 28, 2008 / Notices Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department has established five performance measures for the PWI program. The measures are: Percentage of individuals served who were placed in competitive employment; cost per placement; average increase in weekly earnings experienced by individuals placed in competitive employment; percentage of participants exiting the program who are placed into competitive employment; and cost per participant. Each grantee must submit an annual performance report documenting its success in addressing these performance measures, as well as the compliance indicators required by the program regulations in 34 CFR part 379, subpart F. In addition, the PWI program is part of the Administration’s job training and employment common measures initiative. The common measures for job training and employment programs targeting adults are—entered employment (percentage of individuals employed in the first quarter after program exit); retention in employment (percentage of individuals employed in the first quarter after exit that were still employed in the second and third quarters after program exit); earnings increase (percentage change in earnings pre-registration to post-program and first quarter after exit to third quarter after exit); and efficiency (annual cost per participant). The Department is currently working toward implementation of these common measures. Each grantee will be required to collect and report data for the common measures when implemented. VII.

Now, as of the filing of Williston Basin’s application on March 12, 2008, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended.

The filing of the EA in the Commission’s public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and State agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff’s FEIS or EA.
