at-risk group of transition-age youth
with disabilities. In evaluating the
promising practice or practices, the
DRRP must use scientifically based
research, as defined in section 9101(37)
of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended (20
U.S.C. 7801(37)). Applicants must
identify the specific at-risk group or
groups of transition-age youth with
disabilities they propose to study,
provide evidence that the selected
population or populations are, in fact, at
risk for poor employment outcomes, and
explain how the proposed practices are
expected to address the needs of the
population or populations.
(c) Enhancement of the knowledge
base of policy makers, State VR
personnel, and personnel of other
programs serving transition-age youth
with disabilities. The DRRP must
contribute to this outcome by
conducting targeted dissemination of
results from research conducted under
paragraphs (a) and (b).
• In addition, through coordination
with the NIDRR Project Officer, the
DRRP must contribute to this outcome
by:
(1) Collaborating with relevant
technical assistance grantees from the
Rehabilitation Services Administration,
such as the Technical Assistance and
Continuing Education (TACE) Centers;
and
(2) Collaborating with relevant
technical assistance grantees from the
Office of Special Education Programs,
such as the National Secondary
Transition Technical Assistance Center.
Types of Priorities:
When inviting applications for a
competition using one or more
priorities, we designate the type of each
priority as absolute, competitive
preference, or invitational through a
notice in the Federal Register. The
effect of each type of priority follows:
Absolute priority: Under an absolute
priority, we consider only applications
that meet the priority (34 CFR
75.105(c)(3)).
Competitive preference priority:
Under a competitive preference priority,
we give competitive preference to an
application by (1) awarding additional
points, depending on the extent to
which the application meets the priority
(34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) selecting
an application that meets the priority
over an application of comparable merit
that does not meet the priority (34 CFR
75.105(c)(2)(ii)).
Invitational priority: Under an
invitational priority, we are particularly
interested in applications that meet the
priority. However, we do not give an
application that meets the priority a

preference over other applications (34
CFR 75.105(c)(1)).
Note: This notice does not solicit
applications. In any year in which we choose
to use this priority, we invite applications
through a notice in the Federal Register.
Executive Order 12866: This notice
has been reviewed in accordance with
Executive Order 12866. Under the terms
of the order, we have assessed the
potential costs and benefits of this
regulatory action.
The potential costs associated with
this final regulatory action are those
resulting from statutory requirements
and those we have determined as
necessary for administering this
program effectively and efficiently.
In assessing the potential costs and
benefits—both quantitative and
qualitative—of this final regulatory
action, we have determined that the
benefits of the final priority justify the
costs.
Discussion of costs and benefits:
The benefits of the Disability and
Rehabilitation Research Projects and
Centers Programs have been well
established over the years in that similar
projects have been completed
successfully. This final priority will
generate new knowledge about
transition to employment for youth with
disabilities, through research,
development, dissemination, utilization,
or technical assistance projects.
Another benefit of this final priority is
that the establishment of a new DRRP
will improve the lives of individuals
with disabilities. The new DRRP will
generate, disseminate, and promote the
use of new information about transition
to employment for youth with
disabilities. This information will
improve the options for youth with
disabilities as they transition into
adulthood and employment activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1221(a) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005
(EPAct) directed the Secretary of Energy
to conduct periodic nationwide studies
of electric transmission congestion. The
initial study was to be completed within
one year of enactment of the EPAct with
subsequent studies every three years
thereafter. The American Reinvestment
and Recovery Act of 2009 (Recovery
Act) further directed the Secretary to
include in the 2009 Congestion Study
an analysis of significant potential
sources of renewable energy that are
constrained by lack of adequate
transmission capacity. Based on the
Congestion Study, and comments
concerning it from states and other
stakeholders, the Secretary of Energy
may designate any geographic area
experiencing electric transmission
capacity constraints or congestion as a
national interest electric transmission
corridor (National Corridor).
In August 2006, the Department
published its first National Electric
Transmission Congestion Study.1 In
2007, based in part on the findings of
that study and after considering the
comments of stakeholders, the Secretary
designated two National Corridors, one
in the Mid-Atlantic area and one
covering portions of southern California
and western Arizona, reflecting the high
impacts of transmission congestion in
each area.2
The 2009 Congestion Study has been
completed and issued by the
Department. The study is available for
review at the website listed above.
Based on the study, the Department
found three classes of congestion areas
that merit further federal attention:
Critical Congestion Areas, Congestion
Areas of Concern, and a Conditional
Constrained Area.
The Department stated when it
announced the beginning of its work on
the 2009 Congestion Study that the
study would focus on the identification
of existing electric transmission-level
congestion based on publicly available

historic information and data related to
transmission congestion. The
information and data used by DOE in
conducting the analysis in the 2009
Congestion Study was that which was
available through May 2009. As a result
the study does not address the possible
impacts of the recent recession on
congestion, or any other recent events,
reports, or other developments affecting
congestion.
The Department is seeking comments
from interested persons on the 2009
Congestion Study, and on future steps
for identifying and addressing electric
transmission congestion, including the
possible designation of National
Corridors. Commenters may address any
aspect of this study they consider
appropriate. The Department intends to
update, or issue an addendum to, this
study in which it may consider the
effect of the recession on congestion
identified in the study, comments
received on this version of the study,
and the implications of additional data
or information that has become
available since May 2009. The
Department invites commenters to
direct it to data, publications, or other
information that they believe relevant to
this additional analysis.
