Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2011 / Notices Document, and provides information for accessing additional materials that will be useful for this review. This document is intended to notify members of the general public of their opportunity to provide comments and/or make recommendations. Background Under Public Law 107–279, the Governing Board is authorized to formulate policy guidelines for NAEP. The legislation specifies that the Governing Board is to develop appropriate student achievement levels for each subject and grade tested, as provided in section 303(e). Achievement levels are determined by identifying the knowledge that can be measured and verified objectively using widely accepted professional assessment standards. Achievement levels are to be consistent with relevant widely accepted professional assessment standards, and based on the appropriate level of subject matter knowledge for grade levels to be assessed, or on the age of the students In preparation for setting achievement levels for the new assessment of writing at grades 4, 8, and 12, the Governing Board seeks comment on the draft Design Document intended to guide this process. This is the first wholly computer-based NAEP, and the design calls for this to be the first computerized NAEP achievement levels-setting process. Comments are invited, particularly on the computerization of the achievement levels setting process. All responses received will be taken into consideration before finalizing the Design Document. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Materials for Review and Comment Policymakers, teachers, researchers, State and local writing specialists, members of professional writing and teacher organizations, and members of the public are invited to provide feedback. Comments will provide valuable feedback that is designed to improve the first computerized achievement levels setting process. To assist with the review and comment, the following materials are posted at https://www.wested.org/cs/ naep/print/docs/naep/welcome.html. (1) Design Document: The draft Design Document presents a preliminary design approach to guide all aspects of the process. (2) Focus Questions: Focus questions related to certain aspects of the Design Document are provided as potential areas of interest for your feedback. While all comments and recommendations are appreciated, VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:10 Feb 15, 2011 Jkt 223001 specific issues that you might wish to address include the following: 1. The objective of this study is to set achievement levels for the 2011 and 2013 NAEP writing assessments. Does the study design as presented in the Design Document seem reasonable for accomplishing this overall objective? 2. What improvements can be made to the design to more fully accomplish the objectives of this study? 3. The proposed design calls for the computerization of many aspects of the study. Are there aspects of this computerization that will be particularly effective or ineffective in meeting the objective of this study? 4. Is the field trial as described a reasonable method for testing the logistics of the computerized methodology? 5. Is the special study as described a reasonable method for comparing performance relative to the achievement levels on the 2007 writing NAEP assessment with performance relative to the achievement levels for the new writing NAEP assessment? Timeline It is anticipated that the finalized Design Document will be presented for approval to the Governing Board on March 4, 2011.

    o. Due to the small size and remote location of this project, the 
applicant's close coordination with tribal, State, and Federal agencies 
during the preparation of the application, and the lack of any study 
requests submitted during pre-filing consultation, we intend to waive 
scoping and shorten the filing and comment date on final terms and 
conditions, recommendations, and prescriptions. Based on a review of 
the application, resource agency consultation letters, and comments 
filed to date, Commission staff intends to prepare a single 
environmental assessment (EA). Commission staff determined that the 
issues that need to be addressed in its EA have been adequately 
identified during the pre-filing period for the application, which 
included a public meeting and site visit, and no new issues are likely 
to be identified through additional scoping.
    p. Deadline for filing motions to intervene and protests, comments, 
terms and conditions, recommendations, and prescriptions: Due to the 
small size and remote location of this project, as well as the 
applicant's close coordination with the Tribal Fish and Wildlife 
Department, Bureau of Indian Affairs Irrigation, the Shoshone-Bannock 
Tribes Cultural Resources/Heritage Tribal Office, the Army Corps of 
Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Idaho Department of 
Environmental Quality, Idaho Fish and Game, and the Idaho State 
Historic Preservation Office in the preparation of the application, the 
60-day timeframe specified in 18 CFR 4.34(b) for filing motions to 
intervene and protests, comments, terms and conditions, 
recommendations, and prescriptions is shortened to 30 days from the 
issuance date of this notice. All reply comments must be filed with the 
Commission within 45 days from the date of this notice.
    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu 
of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the 
Commission's Web site (https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ferconline.asp) 
under the ``eFiling'' link. For a simpler method of submitting text 
only comments, click on ``eComment.'' For assistance, please contact 
FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov; call toll-free at 
(866) 208-3676; or, for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659. Although the 
Commission strongly encourages electronic filing, documents may also be 
paper-filed. To paper-file, mail an original and eight copies to: 
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing 
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each 
person on the official service list for the project. Further, if an 
intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to 
the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a 
particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document 
on that resource agency.
    q. Any qualified applicant desiring to file a competing application 
must submit to the Commission, on or before the specified intervention 
deadline date, a competing development application, or a notice of 
intent to file such an application. Submission of a timely notice of 
intent allows an interested person to file the competing development 
application no later than 120 days after the specified intervention 
deadline date. Applications for preliminary permits will not be
