Notice of availability. AGENCY: ACTION: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces the availability of its Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Disposal of GreaterThan-Class C (GTCC) Low-Level Radioactive Waste and GTCC–Like Waste (EIS–0375D, Draft EIS) for public review and comment. The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act (LLRWPAA) of 1985 makes the Federal Government responsible for the disposal of GTCC low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) that results from Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Agreement State licensed activities. DOE is the Federal agency responsible for the disposal of GTCC LLRW. In addition to GTCC LLRW, this Draft EIS also addresses DOE generated or -owned LLRW and potential non-defensegenerated transuranic radioactive waste having characteristics similar to GTCC LLRW (referred to herein as ‘‘GTCC-like’’ waste) and for which there may be no path to disposal. DOE prepared this Draft EIS in accordance with the regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 1500–1508) for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and DOE’s NEPA Implementing Procedures (10 CFR Part 1021). The Draft EIS evaluates the potential human health and environmental impacts of alternatives for disposing of an estimated 12,000 cubic meters (m3) of waste, containing approximately 160 million curies of radioactivity. This includes GTCC LLRW as defined by the NRC in 10 CFR 72.3, i.e., ‘‘low-level radioactive waste that exceeds the concentration limits of radionuclides established for Class C waste in 10 CFR 61.55,’’ as well as GTCC-like waste. DOE proposes to construct and operate a new facility or facilities, or use an existing facility or facilities, for the disposal of GTCC LLRW and GTCC-like waste. The Draft EIS evaluates alternative methods for disposal of these wastes at the following alternative locations: the Hanford Site in Washington; the Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho; at and near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico; the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico; the Nevada SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\25FEN1.SGM 25FEN1

    Title of Collection: Conversion Magnet Schools Evaluation Revision
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0832.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 20.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 280.
    Abstract: The Conversion Magnet Schools Evaluation is being 
conducted to determine if efforts to turn around low-performing schools 
through converting to a Magnet Schools Assistance Program supported 
magnet school are associated with improved student achievement and the 
reduction in minority group isolation. The Institute of Education 
Sciences, in collaboration with the Office of Innovation and 
Improvement, initiated the study due to the popularity and persistence 
of magnet programs and the inconclusive research on the relationship of 
these programs to important student outcomes. The study will use quasi-
experimental designs to explore the relationship between magnet 
programs and student achievement both for ``resident'' students who 
attend magnet schools as their neighborhood schools and, if possible, 
for non-resident students. Data collection includes student records 
data, principal surveys, and project director interviews. The U.S. 
Department of Education has commissioned American Institutes for 
Research to conduct this study.
    An Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance request that (1) 
described the study design and full data collection activities and (2) 
requested approval for the burden associated with the first three years 
of data collection was approved in 2007 (OMB Number 1850-0832 approval 
7/13/07; expiration 7/31/10). In 2010, we requested clearance for the 
burden associated with the fourth and fifth year of data collection 
necessary for the rigorous comparative interrupted time series design 
including student records data collection for the 2009-2010 school year 
(OMB Number 1850-0832 approval 6/14/10; expiration 6/30/13). We are now 
requesting clearance for the burden associated with one additional 
round of student records data collection (student records data from the 
2010-2011 school year) from participating districts due to the later 
than expected implementation of the magnet programs in the 2007 grantee 
cohort.
    Copies of the proposed information collection request may be 
accessed from https://edicsweb.ed.gov, by selecting the ``Browse Pending 
Collections'' link and by clicking on link number 4516. When you access 
the information collection, click on ``Download Attachments'' to view. 
Written requests for information should be addressed to U.S. Department 
of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., LBJ, Washington, DC 20202-4537. 
Requests may also be electronically mailed to ICDocketMgr@ed.gov or 
faxed to 202-401-0920. Please specify the complete title of the 
information collection and OMB Control Number when making your request.
