ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, Regulatory Branch is notifying interested parties that it has terminated the process to develop a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and has withdrawn the Section 404 Clean Water Act permit application for the proposed ‘Regional Watershed Supply Project’ submitted in 2008 by a private water development entity known as Million Conservation Resource Group (MCRG).

Brenda S. Bowen, Army Federal Register Liaison Officer. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: [FR Doc. 2011–18523 Filed 7–21–11; 8:45 am] Questions regarding the termination of this EIS process should be addressed to Ms. Rena Brand, Project Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Denver Regulatory Office, 9307 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Littleton, CO 80128–6901; (303)– 979–4120; mcrg.eis@usace.army.mil. BILLING CODE 3720–58–P After the initial public scoping process in 2009, the Corps received 7,409 substantive comments related to the applicant’s proposal to construct a 558 mile water pipeline from Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Southwest Wyoming to a terminating storage reservoir near Pueblo, Colorado, designed to supply up to 250,000 acre feet of water annually to various municipal and agricultural entities in Eastern Wyoming and the Front Range of Colorado. A common concern expressed dealt with the need for the water, what entities would be using the water, and for what purposes. On April 1, 2011, MCRG expressed to the Corps that they wished to change the primary purpose of the project to power generation. When the EIS process started in 2009, it was understood that the project purpose was water supply, so all EIS work done to date, to include public scoping was related to that purpose. The project now has an uncertain and variable purpose, which technically makes the applicant’s permit application incomplete. Additionally, Corps’ regulations require that applicants be provided sufficient time to respond to requests from the Corps for information, normally not to exceed 30 days. At the close of a recent 60-day stop work request by MCRG, the Corps decided to withdraw the permit application, as MCRG did not officially respond with a decision about how the EIS was to proceed, as requested by the Corps. The Corps decided that now is the appropriate time to officially terminate the EIS. The Corps’ neutral role in this EIS process was to evaluate the environmental consequences of proposed projects such as these under authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The preparation of the EIS was being conducted by a third-party contractor directed by the Corps, and funded by the permit applicant, which is typical of Corps Regulatory EIS studies. Withdrawal of the permit application and termination of the EIS process will not prevent MCRG from reapplying at a later date, and will not SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Notice of Submission for OMB Review Department of Education.

Abstract: The Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) and the Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS) collect issue-oriented data quickly and with minimum response burden outside of National Center of Education Statistics’ (NCES’) large recurring surveys. Both systems were designed to collect and report data on key education issues at the elementary and secondary levels, and to meet the data needs of Department of Education analysts, planners, and decision-makers when information cannot be collected quickly through NCES’ large recurring surveys. The purpose of the forthcoming two complementary FRSS and PEQIS surveys is to collect data about dual credit and dual enrollment programs offered to high school students. The FRSS 104 survey will provide nationally representative data on prevalence and enrollment of dual credit and exambased courses in public high schools, while the PEQIS 18 will provide nationally representative data on the prevalence of college course-taking by high school students both within and outside of dual enrollment programs offered by postsecondary institutions. This is the second iteration of both surveys, previously conducted in school year 2002–03. This request is for clearance of the FRSS 104 and PEQIS 18 questionnaires and full scale data collection.

What are their transitional experiences as they leave high school and their educational, social, and economic outcomes? The study will compare this group with three other groups: (1) Youth who have no identified disability, (2) youth who do not have an individualized education plan (IEP) but who have a condition that qualifies them for accommodation under Section 504 of E:\FR\FM\22JYN1.SGM 22JYN1
