and Exam-Based Courses in Public High
Schools: 2010–11 & Post Education
Quick Information System (PEQIS) 18:
Dual Enrollment of High School
Students at Postsecondary Institutions:
2010–11.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0733.
Agency Form Number(s): N/A.

households; Not-for-profit institutions;

Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 9,655.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 2,157.
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.

Abstract: To gauge progress in
addressing the needs of youth with
disabilities, the U.S. Department of
Education is sponsoring a five-year
longitudinal study focused on the
educational and transitional experiences
of youth between the ages of 13 and 21
in December 2011. The study focuses on
three sets of research questions: What
are the characteristics of youth with
disabilities? What services and
accommodations do they receive and
what are their courses of study? 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

the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and (3) similar cohorts of youth
with an IEP who were studied in the
past.
Districts and youth will be randomly
selected to ensure that they are
nationally representative. The study
sample will include approximately 500
school districts and 15,000 students.
Phase I data collection will occur in
spring 2012 and spring 2014, when
sample members will be ages 13–21 and
15–23, respectively. The study will
collect data from parents, youth,
principals, teachers, and student school
records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–510,
‘‘Application for Surrender of
Hydropower License’’, (OMB No. 1902–
0068) is used by the Commission to
implement the statutory provisions of
sections 4(e), 6 and 13 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) 16 U.S. Code (U.S.C).
sections 797(e), 799 and 806. Section
4(e) gives the Commission authority to
issue licenses for the purposes of
constructing, operating and maintaining
dams, water conduits, reservoirs,
powerhouses, transmission lines or
other power project works necessary or
convenient for developing and
improving navigation, transmission and
utilization of power over which
Congress has jurisdiction. Section 6
gives the Commission the authority to
prescribe the conditions of licenses
including the revocation or surrender of
the license. Section 13 defines the
Commission’s authority to delegate time
periods for when a license must be
terminated if project construction has
not begun. Surrender of a license may
be desired by a licensee when a licensed
project is retired, not constructed, or
natural catastrophes have damaged or
destroyed the project facilities. The
information collected under the
designation FERC–510 is in the form of
a written application for surrender of a
hydropower license. The information is
used by Commission staff to determine
the broad impact of such surrender. The
Commission will issue a notice
soliciting comments from the public and
other agencies and conduct a careful
review of the prepared application
before issuing an order for surrender of
a license. The order is the result of an
analysis of the information produced,
i.e., economic, environmental concerns,
etc., which are examined to determine
if the application for surrender is
warranted. The order implements the
existing regulations and is inclusive for
surrender of all types of hydropower
licenses issued by FERC and its
predecessor, the Federal Power
Commission. The Commission
implements these mandatory filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 6.1–
6.4.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no changes to the
existing collection of data.
