relationships to facilitate better buying
decisions. In order for these business
tools to be useful, and to promote the
procurement efficiencies required for
better buying decisions, DoD requires
the ability to understand the corporate
structure and affiliations of its
suppliers. DoD is seeking industry
insight on ‘‘best practices’’ and how
such a process may affect future
offerors. In particular, DoD invites
discussion at the public meeting and
public comment on the following:
(1) Means of identifying whether or
not a particular DoD contractor is
owned or controlled by another
business entity.
(2) Would it be meaningful, from the
private sector perspective, to
characterize an ‘‘immediate owner,’’ as
the business entity, which has the most
direct and proximate ownership or
control of the offeror? If not, then please
suggest an alternative characterization.
(3) Would it be meaningful, from the
private sector perspective, to
characterize the ‘‘highest-level owner’’
as a business entity, which owns or
controls the one or more business
entities that own or control the offeror?
If not, then please suggest an alternative
characterization.
(4) Would it be meaningful, from the
private sector perspective, to
characterize an ‘‘owner’’ as a business
entity, other than the offeror that owns
or controls the offeror, or that owns or
controls other business entities that own
or control the offeror? An owner could
then be either an immediate owner or a
highest-level owner. If not meaningful,
then please suggest an alternative
characterization.
(5) One potential approach is for the
offeror to provide with its offer the
immediate owner Commercial and
Government Entity (CAGE) code along
with the legal name, and the highestlevel owner CAGE code along with the
legal name (if a higher-level entity
exists). If this process is considered
burdensome, what are the potential
ways to mitigate such burden?
(6) Are there additional factors that
should be considered to accurately
capture such a business environment? If
so, please explain.

Abstract
The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides $4.3
billion for the Race to the Top Fund
(referred to in the statute as the State
Incentive Grant Fund). This is a
competitive grant program. The purpose
of the program is to encourage and
reward States that are creating the
conditions for education innovation and
reform; achieving significant
improvement in student outcomes,
including making substantial gains in
student achievement, closing
achievement gaps, improving high
school graduation rates, and ensuring
student preparation for success in
college and careers; and implementing
ambitious plans in four core education
reform areas: (a) Adopting
internationally-benchmarked standards
and assessments that prepare students
for success in college and the
workplace; (b) building data systems
that measure student success and
inform teachers and principals in how
they can improve their practices; (c)
increasing teacher effectiveness and
achieving equity in teacher distribution;
and (d) turning around our lowestachieving schools.
The U.S. Department of Education
(the Department) will collect this data
from the 12 Race to the Top grantee
states to inform its review of grantee
implementation, outcomes, oversight,
and accountability. The Department will
use these forms to inform on-site visits,
‘‘stocktake’’ meetings with
Implementation and Support Unit
leadership at the Department, and
annual reports for individual grantees
and the grant program as a whole.
In order to allow for a comprehensive
program review of the Race to the Top
grantees, we are requesting a three-year
clearance with this form.

Final Determination Regarding Energy

Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of final determination.
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE or Department) has determined
that the 2010 edition of the Energy
Standard for Buildings, Except Low-Rise
Residential Buildings, American
National Standards Institute (ANSI)/
American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) Illuminating
Engineering Society of North America
(IESNA) Standard 90.1–2010, (Standard
90.1–2010 or the 2010 edition) would
achieve greater energy efficiency in
buildings subject to the code, than the
2007 edition (Standard 90.1–2007 or the
2007 edition). Also, DOE has
determined that the quantitative
analysis of the energy consumption of
buildings built to Standard 90.1–2010,
as compared with buildings built to
Standard 90.1–2007, indicates national
source energy savings of approximately
18.2 percent of commercial building
energy consumption. Additionally, DOE
has determined site energy savings are
estimated to be approximately 18.5
percent. Upon publication of this
affirmative final determination, States
are required to certify that they have
reviewed the provisions of their
commercial building code regarding
energy efficiency, and as necessary,
updated their code to meet or exceed
Standard 90.1–2010. Additionally, this
notice provides guidance to States on
Certifications, and Requests for
Extensions of Deadlines for Certification
Statements.
