Using a conservative approach in approving permits for marinas along the FLC, the USACE selected the low end of this range (1,818) as the number of boat slips that will be initially approved. Due to the implementation of mitigation options, specifically the construction of dedicated commercial barge mooring locations, the number of boat slips initially approved increased to 1,943. This number was derived by updating Tables 9.1, 9.3, and 10.2 in the WCS as a result of applying the ‘‘Commercial Vessels’’ updated reduction factor (Appendix R). The option of phasing-in 1,150 additional slips will begin after the first year of construction and occur at a rate of 25 percent (287 slips) every year for four years. An evaluation period will occur each year to evaluate impacts of increased recreational boat traffic on commercial barge navigation and overall waterway safety. During this period, the applicant could implement mitigation management options and provide monitoring reports to include the following: • Additional baseline data to include marina vessel use, peak volumes/flow rates, and peak hour uses. • Impacts of projects on safety on the FLC, including Alabama Marine Police and USCG reports. • Impacts on commercial navigation operations, including impacts on commercial traffic schedules. If during this evaluation period it is determined that increased recreational boat traffic is having adverse impacts on commercial barge navigation or safety, the USACE has the authority to deny permits for additional boat slips on the FLC. 5.

SUMMARY: The Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Regulatory Information Management Services, Office of Management, invites comments on the proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before April 27, 2009. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 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 Director, 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 need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment. The Department of Education is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:23 Feb 23, 2009 Jkt 217001 Type of Review: Revision. Title: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Frequency: Annually. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 58,090. Burden Hours: 189,133. Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is requesting an amendment to its threeyear clearance for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to run for the 2008–09, 2009– 10, and 2010–2011 Web-based data collections. Current authorization for IPEDS expires January 31, 2012 (OMB No. 1850–0582). The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), which became law on August 14, 2008, after OMB had already granted IPEDS a three-year clearance, has several implications for the IPEDS annual Web-based data collection. The law requires the immediate implementation of several new institutional reporting requirements so that the data may be made available on the College Navigator Web site by August 2009. To meet these statutory deadlines, NCES requested two amendments to its clearance package from OMB, in order to meet the August 2009 deadline for several new requirements in the new law. First, a change memo was sent to OMB on August 19, 2008 (known as ‘‘Amendment 1’’). It included a small number of non-substantive changes to the 2008–09 data collection based on the new requirements. OMB provided clearance for those changes in a notice on August 26, 2008. Then, NCES submitted a revised clearance package (known as ‘‘Amendment 2’’). It included a limited number of additional substantive changes to spring cycle of the 2008–09 IPEDS Web-based data collection. OMB provided clearance for those changes in a notice on January 16, 2009. NCES now requests a third set of revisions to the Original Clearance Package to meet additional HEOA requirements for the collection of data related to net price in the 2009–10 and PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8239 2010–11 data collections (known hereafter as ‘‘Amendment 3’’). These changes do not affect the 2008–09 data collection now underway. These changes will allow NCES to make available on the College Navigator Web site data on institutional net prices and a multi-year tuition calculator. In addition, we are including a set of changes to improve the data already collected in IPEDS that are based on suggestions from the postsecondary education data community and IPEDS Technical Review Panel. These changes will improve the reporting of data related to the new HEOA-mandated student-to-faculty ratio, and simplify IPEDS reporting and reduce reporting burden for nondegree-granting institutions. Requests for copies of the proposed information collection request may be accessed from https:// www.edicsweb.ed.gov, by selecting the ‘‘Browse Pending Collections’’ link and by clicking on link number 3947. When you access the information collection, click on ‘‘Download Attachments’’ to view. Written requests for information should be addressed to U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., LBJ, Washington, DC 20202–4537. Requests may also be electronically mailed to ICDocketMgr@ed.gov or faxed to 202–401–0920. Please specify the complete title of the information collection when making your request. Comments regarding burden and/or the collection activity requirements should be electronically mailed to ICDocketMgr@ed.gov. Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1– 800–877–8339. [FR Doc.

and redundancy and will relieve stress on its Furlong distribution 
system. The project is located in the Limeport Formation in the Mill 
Creek Watershed in Buckingham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania and 
is located in the Southeastern Pennsylvania Ground Water Protected 
Area.
    5. United States Steel, LLC D-78-68-2. An application for the 
approval of a 0.163 million gallon per day (mgd) discharge of treated 
sanitary wastewater from Outfall No. 203; a 3.75 mgd discharge of

on September 22, 1987, approving construction of a 0.4 mgd WWTP by the 
Association. The WWTP discharges to an unnamed tributary of Tamarack 
Creek, a tributary of the Lehigh River, which flows to the Delaware 
River. The project is located within the drainage area to the section

of its surface water allocation; however the DRBC staff are 
recommending that the Commission consider a reduction. The purpose of 
the project is to continue to supply water for heating and cooling 
purposes to the Croda, Inc. industrial facility from one Delaware River 
Intake and Wells Nos. 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. The existing groundwater 
allocation of 60.04 mg/30 days is proposed to be renewed for all wells,
