Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 131 / Friday, July 10, 2009 / Notices
U.S. Department of Education,
Application Control Center, Attention:
(CFDA Number 84.326R), 550 12th
Street, SW., Room 7041, Potomac Center
Plaza, Washington, DC 20202–4260.
The Application Control Center
accepts hand deliveries daily between
8:00 a.m. and 4:30:00 p.m., Washington,
DC time, except Saturdays, Sundays,
and Federal holidays.

Paper Applications: If you mail or hand
deliver your application to the
Department—
(1) You must indicate on the envelope
and—if not provided by the
Department—in Item 11 of the SF 424
the CFDA number, including suffix
letter, if any, of the competition under
which you are submitting your
application; and
(2) The Application Control Center
will mail to you a notification of receipt
of your grant application. If you do not
receive this grant notification within 15
business days from the application
deadline date, you should call the U.S.
Department of Education Application
Control Center at (202) 245–6288.

V. Application Review Information
1. Selection Criteria: The selection
criteria for this competition are from 34
CFR 75.210 and are listed in the
application package.
2. Peer Review: In the past, the
Department has had difficulty finding
peer reviewers for certain competitions
because so many individuals who are
eligible to serve as peer reviewers have
conflicts of interest. The Standing Panel
requirements under IDEA also have
placed additional constraints on the
availability of reviewers. Therefore, the
Department has determined that, for
some discretionary grant competitions,
applications may be separated into two
or more groups and ranked and selected
for funding within the specific groups.
This procedure will make it easier for
the Department to find peer reviewers
by ensuring that greater numbers of
individuals who are eligible to serve as
reviewers for any particular group of
applicants will not have conflicts of
interest. It also will increase the quality,
independence, and fairness of the
review process while permitting panel
members to review applications under
discretionary grant competitions for
which they also have submitted
applications. However, if the
Department decides to select an equal
number of applications in each group
for funding, this may result in different
cut-off points for fundable applications
in each group.

VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: If your application
is successful, we notify your U.S.
Representative and U.S. Senators and
send you a Grant Award Notification
(GAN). We may notify you informally,
also.
If your application is not evaluated or
not selected for funding, we notify you.
2. Administrative and National Policy
Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy
requirements in the application package
and reference these and other
requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section of
this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The
GAN also incorporates your approved
application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: At the end of your
project period, you must submit a final
performance report, including financial
information, as directed by the
Secretary. If you receive a multi-year
award, you must submit an annual
performance report that provides the
most current performance and financial
expenditure information as directed by
the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.118. The
Secretary may also require more
frequent performance reports under 34
CFR 75.720(c). For specific
requirements on reporting, please go to
https://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/
appforms/appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: Under the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department has
established a set of performance
measures, including long-term
measures, that are designed to yield
information on various aspects of the
effectiveness and quality of the
Technical Assistance and Dissemination
to Improve Services and Results for
Children With Disabilities program.
These measures focus on the extent to
which projects provide high-quality
products and services, the relevance of
project products and services to
educational and early intervention
policy and practice, and the use of
products and services to improve
educational and early intervention
policy and practice.
Grantees will be required to report
information on their project’s
performance in annual reports to the
Department (34 CFR 75.590).

AGENCY: National Nuclear Security
Administration, U.S. Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Record of decision.
SUMMARY: The National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA), a
separately organized agency within the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is
issuing this Record of Decision (ROD)
for the continued operation of the Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in
Los Alamos, New Mexico, pursuant to
the Final Site-Wide Environmental
Impact Statement for the Continued
Operation of Los Alamos National
Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico,
DOE/EIS–0380 (SWEIS) (73 FR 28453,
May 16, 2008). This ROD is the second
ROD based on the information and
analyses contained in the SWEIS and
other factors, including comments
received on the SWEIS, costs, technical
and security considerations, and the
missions of NNSA. These decision
factors also include results from the
analyses in the October 24, 2008, Final
Complex Transformation Supplemental
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement (DOE/EIS–0236–S4, 73 FR
63460) (Complex Transformation SPEIS)
and its two RODs (73 FR 77644, 73 FR
77656, December 19, 2008). NNSA
issued the first ROD for the continued
operation of LANL based on the SWEIS
(73 FR 55833) on September 26, 2008.
In the LANL SWEIS, NNSA analyzed
three alternatives for the continued
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
operation of LANL: (1) No Action, (2)
Reduced Operations, and (3) Expanded
Operations. NNSA identified the
Expanded Operations Alternative as its
Preferred Alternative.
For this second ROD, NNSA
continues to select the No Action
Alternative, announced in the 2008
ROD as its decision for continuing the
operation of LANL, and has decided to
implement additional elements of the
Expanded Operations Alternative.
Specific projects that will be
implemented under this ROD are: (1)
Complete the environmental
remediation and closure of Technical
Area 18 (TA–18) Pajarito Site; (2)
complete the environmental
remediation and closure of TA–21 (also
referred to as the Delta Prime or DP
Site); (3) refurbish the Plutonium
Facility Complex at TA–55; (4)
construct and operate a new Radioactive
Liquid Waste Treatment Facility in TA–
50 and operate a zero liquid discharge
facility in TA–52 as an auxiliary action;
(5) install additional processors and
equipment to further expand the
capabilities and operation level of the
Nicholas C. Metropolis Center for
Modeling and Simulation in TA–3; and
(6) construct and operate a new Science
and Engineering Complex at TA–62.
These projects and the changes in
operations associated with them are
needed to support DOE and NNSA
missions; to maintain and improve the
safety and security of existing
capabilities at LANL; and to further
LANL intra-site facility consolidation.
Decisions that NNSA is announcing in
this ROD will not change the plutonium
pit production throughput capability at
LANL (20 plutonium pits per year), nor
will they influence or be impacted by
future decisions that may be made based
on the upcoming Nuclear Posture
Review.1

1 The Nuclear Posture Review is a congressionally
mandated comprehensive review of U.S. nuclear
deterrence policy and strategy that the Secretary of
Defense will conduct in consultation with the
Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of State. The
