FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Leah Oberlin, Project Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, 4400 PGA Boulevard, Suite 500, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410, Telephone: 561–472–3506, Fax: 561–626–6971. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USACE is evaluating proposals to fill Waters of the United States in association with limestone mining and related activities in an area of MiamiDade County known as the Lake Belt. The USACE has analyzed both offsite and onsite alternatives for those that could reasonably satisfy the project purpose, and has carried forward eight alternatives for mining for further detailed analysis along with a NoAction Alternative (Alternative 1). Under the No Action Alternative, mining in the Lake Belt area requiring Department of the Army (DA) permits would not be restarted and the USACE would not issue any additional DA permits for mining in the Lake Belt. Under the other alternatives, mining would be permitted in the Lake Belt area in varying degrees for varying lengths of time. The affected environment is primarily the area immediately surrounding the Lake Belt area in northern Miami-Dade County. Analyses indicate that the environmental impacts are closely tied to the number of acres proposed to be mined, with alternatives proposing the largest amount of mining having the largest environmental impacts for most of the areas of concern. The primary discriminators are: Natural cover types and wetlands, habitat units, potential impacts to endangered wood storks, hydrology, water quality, and socioeconomics. A mitigation plan has been evaluated that could offset many of the potential environmental impacts including seepage.

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.

VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:03 May 06, 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; PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 58,090. Burden Hours: 189,136. 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 website 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 Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requirements for the collection of data related to net price in the 2009–10 and 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 website 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 E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 87 / Thursday, May 7, 2009 / Notices 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.
