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

with any agency’s ability to perform its
statutory obligations. The Acting

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
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.

Abstract: Sections 2201–2203 of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act describe information to be included
in the annual performance report
required of the Mathematics and
Science Partnerships Grant program.
Submission of the annual performance
report (APR) via the data collection site

assessments of mathematics or science
measures. The national-level
information includes an average of the
percentage of proficient students in
SEAs administering annual state

Energy Conservation Program for
Consumer Products: Publication of the
Petition for Waiver and Granting the
Application for Interim Waiver of
Hallowell International From the
Department of Energy Residential
Central Air Conditioner and Heat Pump
Test Procedure
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of Petition for Waiver,
Granting an Application for Interim
Waiver, and request for public
comments.
This notice announces receipt
of and publishes the Hallowell
International (Hallowell) Petition for
Waiver (hereafter, ‘‘Petition’’) from the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test
procedure for determining the energy
consumption of residential central air
conditioners and heat pumps for certain
specified equipment. The waiver
request pertains to Hallowell’s Boosted
Compression heat pumps, a product line
that uses three-stage technology to
enable efficient heating at very low
outdoor temperatures. The existing test
procedure accounts for two-capacity
compressors, but not three-capacity
operation. Therefore, Hallowell has
suggested an alternate test procedure to
calculate the heating performance of its
three-stage Boosted Compression
products. DOE is soliciting comments,
data, and information concerning
Hallowell’s Petition and the suggested
alternate test procedure. DOE is also
granting an interim waiver to Hallowell.
