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

include: (1) The percentage of projects
that incorporate scientifically based
practices into the curriculum; (2) the
percentage of scholars who exit training
programs prior to completion due to
poor academic performance; (3) the
percentage of degree or certification
recipients who are working in the
area(s) for which they were trained
upon program completion; (4) the
percentage of degree or certification
recipients who are working in the
area(s) for which they were trained
upon program completion and are fully
qualified under the IDEA; (5) the
percentage of scholars completing the
IDEA-funded training programs who are
knowledgeable and skilled in
scientifically based practices for infants,
toddlers, and children with disabilities;
(6) the percentage of low incidence
positions that are filled by personnel
who are fully qualified under the IDEA;
and (7) the percentage of program
graduates who maintain employment for
three or more years in the area(s) for
which they were trained.
Grantees may be asked to participate

FERC–546
(Certificated Rate Filings: Gas Pipeline
Rates; OMB Control Number 1902–
0155) is required to implement sections
4, 5, 16 and 7(e) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717–717w). NGA
sections 4, 5 and 16 authorize the
Commission to inquire into rate
structures and methodologies and to set
rates at a just and reasonable level.
Section 7(e) authorizes the Commission
to set initial rates that are in keeping
with the public convenience and
necessity.
The Commission uses the FERC–546
information to examine service and
tariff provisions for the transportation
and storage, and/or sale of natural gas in
interstate commerce filed with the
Commission.
When a pipeline company decides to
construct and operate a jurisdictional
pipeline, it files an application with the
Commission and receives a Certificate of
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Convenience and Necessity. As
part of its review, the Commission
considers and authorizes ‘‘initial rates’’
for transportation and/or storage service
for the pipeline. Initial rates are
established for new services authorized
in certificate proceedings and must meet
a public convenience and necessity
standard. Initial rates established in the
certificate proceeding remain in effect
until such rates are reviewed by the
Commission in a rate proceeding. The
information submitted by the pipeline
company to the Commission in these
applications for initial rates is the
subject of FERC–546.
The Commission’s reporting
requirements for this information
collection are provided in 18 CFR 154.4,
154.7, 154.202, 154.204–.209, and
154.602–.603. Failure to collect this
information would prevent the
Commission from monitoring and
properly evaluating pipeline proposals
to add or modify services.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no change to the
existing reporting requirements in
FERC–546.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
at:

respondents

The cost per respondent is $10,308.48.
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,

instructions and requirements; (4)
training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting, or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.
These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization, rather
than any one particular function or
activity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC-546 (Certificated Rate Filings: Gas
Pipeline Rates; OMB Control Number 1902-0155) is required to implement
sections 4, 5, 16 and 7(e) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717-
717w). NGA sections 4, 5 and 16 authorize the Commission to inquire
into rate structures and methodologies and to set rates at a just and
reasonable level. Section 7(e) authorizes the Commission to set initial
rates that are in keeping with the public convenience and necessity.
The Commission uses the FERC-546 information to examine service and
tariff provisions for the transportation and storage, and/or sale of
natural gas in interstate commerce filed with the Commission.
When a pipeline company decides to construct and operate a
jurisdictional pipeline, it files an application with the Commission
and receives a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. As part
of its review, the Commission considers and authorizes ``initial
rates'' for transportation and/or storage service for the pipeline.
Initial rates are established for new services authorized in
certificate proceedings and must meet a public convenience and
necessity standard. Initial rates established in the certificate
proceeding remain in effect until such rates are reviewed by the
Commission in a rate proceeding. The information submitted by the
pipeline company to the Commission in these applications for initial
rates is the subject of FERC-546.
The Commission's reporting requirements for this information
collection are provided in 18 CFR 154.4, 154.7, 154.202, 154.204-.209,
and 154.602-.603. Failure to collect this information would prevent the
Commission from monitoring and properly evaluating pipeline proposals
to add or modify services.
Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current expiration date, with no change to the existing reporting
requirements in FERC-546.

The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways
to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)
searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of
information; and (7) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the
information.
The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization, rather than
any one particular function or activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology,
