Abstract: Title IX, Part C, Sections
9301–9306, of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as
amended (No Child Left Behind [NCLB]
Pub. L. 107–110), authorizes the
Secretary of Education to provide States
the option of submitting consolidated
applications to obtain funds for covered
programs in which the State
participates. The purpose of
consolidated applications as defined in
NCLB is to improve teaching and
learning by encouraging greater crossprogram coordination, planning, and
service delivery; to enhance program
integration; and to provide greater
flexibility and less burden for State
educational agencies.
The Department will use the
information from the consolidated State
application as the basis for approving
funding under the covered ESEA, as
amended programs (in which the State
participates). The Department also will
use the performance targets, baseline
data, and other related information in
the consolidated application to continue
to assess the degree of progress States
make over time in achieving ESEA
goals. As with previous collections, the
information in this collection will allow
the Department to continue to monitor
effectiveness of the use of program
funds, and provide grantees with
technical assistance

The

requirements of FERC–512,
‘‘Application for Preliminary Permit’’
(OMB No. 1902–0073), is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of Sections 4(f), 5 and 7 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C.
sections 797, 798 & 800. The purpose of
obtaining a preliminary permit is to
maintain priority of the application for
a license for a hydropower facility while
the applicant conducts surveys to
prepare maps, plans, specifications and
estimates; conducts engineering,
economic and environmental feasibility
studies; and making financial
arrangements. The conditions under
which the priority will be maintained
are set forth in each permit. During the

the form of a written application for a
preliminary permit which is used by
Commission staff to determine an
applicant’s qualifications to hold a
preliminary permit, review the
proposed hydro development for
feasibility and to issue a notice of the
application in order to solicit public and
agency comments. The Commission
implements these mandatory filing
requirements in the Code of Federal

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $508,000; [i.e., (7 hours @$200 an
hour (legal) × 200 respondents) + (30
hours @$38 an hour (technical) × 200
respondents)] per year equals
$508,000)]. The average annual cost
burden per respondent is $2,540
($508,000/200 = $2,540).
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information;
(3) adjusting the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; (4)
training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting, or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.
These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization rather
than anyone particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
