Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices
ACTION:
Notice of Intent.
The Albuquerque District,
Corps of Engineers (Corps) is preparing
a draft Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS) on the findings
of an ongoing flood risk management
study along the Rio Grande from San
Acacia downstream to San Marcial in
Socorro County, New Mexico. The
purpose of the study is to reevaluate the
plan of flood protection authorized by
the Flood Control Act of 1948 (Pub. L.
80–858) in light of recent changes in
levee design parameters and
environmental resources in the study
area. The tentatively proposed plan is to
replace the existing embankment
between the Low Flow Conveyance
Channel and the Rio Grande with a
structurally competent levee capable of
containing high-volume, long-duration
flows. This engineered levee would
substantially reduce the risk of damage
from floods emanating from the Rio
Grande. The local cost-sharing sponsors
of the proposed project are the Middle
Rio Grande Conservancy District and
the New Mexico Interstate Stream
Commission.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions or comments regarding the
draft SEIS can be answered by: William
DeRagon, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
4101 Jefferson Plaza NE., Albuquerque,
New Mexico 87109; telephone: (505)
342–3358; email:
william.r.deragon@usace.army.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Previously, an environmental impact
statement and two supplements have
been published regarding this project. A
final environmental impact statement
addressing a recommendation to
construct flood and sediment control
dams on the Rio Puerco and Rio Salado
was filed with the Council on
Environmental Quality in 1977. An SEIS
evaluating the effects of the alternative
to rehabilitate the existing spoil-bank
levee system was filed with the Council
on Environmental Quality in 1992. In
May 1997, a draft SEIS evaluating the
revised design of the proposed levee to
withstand long-duration floods and
evaluating effects to recently listed
endangered species was filed with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
however, a final SEIS was not prepared.
Currently, a new draft SEIS is being
developed to evaluate effects of revised
levee design and additional alternatives.
The draft SEIS will be integrated with
a draft General Reevaluation Report, and
the integrated document is hereafter
referred to as the draft GRR/SEIS–II.
Alternatives Considered: Alternatives
developed and evaluated during the
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

current effort and previous studies
consist of levee reconstruction; flood
and sediment control dams; local levees;
intermittent levee replacement;
watershed land treatment; floodproofing
of buildings; levee-alignment setbacks;
and no action.
Public Involvement: Coordination is
ongoing with both public and private
entities having jurisdiction or an
interest in land and resources in the
middle Rio Grande valley of New
Mexico. These entities include the
general public, local governments, the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, the New
Mexico Department of Game and Fish,
and the New Mexico State Historic
Preservation Officer. Coordination will
continue throughout the development of
the draft GRR/SEIS–II.
Significant Issues To Be Analyzed:
Issues to be analyzed in the
development of the draft GRR/SEIS–II
include the effect of alternatives on
flood risk, floodplain development,
water quality, ecological resources,
endangered species, wildlife refuge
objectives, social welfare, human safety,
cultural resources, and aesthetic
qualities. Development and
implementation of mitigation measures
will be undertaken for unavoidable
effects.
Public Review: It is estimated that the
draft GRR/SEIS–II will be circulated for
public review in April 2012. All
interested parties including Federal,
state, and public entities will be invited
to submit comments on the draft GRR/
SEIS–II when it is circulated for review.
A public meeting will be held during
the public review period in Socorro,
New Mexico. An announcement of the
exact date and location of the public
meeting will be published in the
Federal Register, and in Socorro and
Albuquerque newspapers.

The Department of Education
is reopening the Upward Bound (UB)
program FY 2012 competition and
accepting amended applications for new
awards for the UB program FY 2012
competition from a limited number of
applicants that may have been affected
by incorrect information provided by
the Department regarding Competitive
Preference Priority 1—Persistently
Lowest-Achieving Schools.
DATES:
Applications Available: March 2,
2012.
Deadline for Transmittal of
Applications: March 16, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 19, 2011, we published a
notice in the Federal Register (76 FR
78621) inviting applications for new
awards for FY 2012 for the UB Program
(NIA). On January 25, 2012, we
published a second notice in the
Federal Register (77 FR 3751) extending
the deadline date for the transmittal of
applications to February 1, 2012, and
extending the deadline date for
Intergovernmental Review to April 2,
2012.
Shortly before the revised application
deadline date, it came to the
Department’s attention that some
informational materials made available
on a Department Web site contained an
error that may have led some applicants
to incorrectly respond to one of the
competitive preference priorities.
Following a review of the nature and
extent of the error and concerns about
its potential effects on applicants’
scores, the Department is reopening the
competition for two weeks to provide
time for applicants that submitted
timely applications under the February
1, 2012, deadline and that may have
been affected by this error to submit
amended applications.
This opportunity will be limited to a
specific subset of applicants that meet
certain demonstrated criteria. The
Department will compare amended
applications submitted in accordance
with this notice with the original
submissions to ensure the applicant
satisfies the criteria for a resubmission.
The Department will not accept any
amended application that fails to meet
the criteria set forth in this notice.

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
12820
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices
In the NIA, the Department
announced three competitive preference
priorities to which potential applicants
could respond. This notice reopens the
competition for applicants that
addressed Competitive Preference
Priority 1—Turning Around Persistently
Lowest-Achieving Schools. The priority
provided additional points for
applicants proposing to serve
persistently lowest-achieving schools.
This priority was from the notice of
final supplemental priorities and
definitions for discretionary grant
programs, published in the Federal
Register on December 15, 2010 (75 FR
78486), and corrected on May 12, 2011
(76 FR 27637) and includes a regulatory
definition for the term ‘‘persistently
lowest-achieving schools.’’
A frequently asked questions
document (FAQ) posted on the
Department’s Web site provided a link
to the Department’s Web page for the
School Improvement Grants program
where applicants could go to obtain a
list of persistently lowest-achieving
schools. This list, however, was
outdated, and the FAQ incorrectly
stated that schools listed as ‘‘Tier III’’ on
the list would be considered
persistently lowest-achieving schools.
So that applicants that submitted an
application on or before the February 1,
2012, application deadline date and
addressed Competitive Preference
Priority 1 are not disadvantaged by the
Department’s error, we are reopening
the application period for this group of
applicants.
To assist these applicants in correctly
responding to Competitive Preference
Priority 1, we are publishing a revised
and up-to-date list of those schools that
the Department considers persistently
lowest-achieving schools for purposes of
this Competitive Preference Priority.
This list does not include Tier III
schools, which are not persistently
lowest-achieving schools. Only schools
identified on this list as Tier I or Tier
II schools are considered by the
Department to be persistently lowestachieving schools for the purposes of
scoring responses to Competitive
Preference Priority 1. This list can be
found at https://www2.ed.gov/programs/
sif/.
Applicants that successfully
submitted an application on or before
the February 1, 2012, application
deadline date and addressed
Competitive Preference Priority 1 will
have until March 16, 2012 to submit an
amended application. However, because
the Department is offering this
opportunity solely to correct a specific
error, we will only accept applications
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:01 Mar 01, 2012
Jkt 226001
from applicants that meet the following
criteria. An applicant must:
• Have submitted a timely
application on or before the application
deadline date of February 1, 2012.
• Have addressed Competitive
Preference Priority 1—Turning Around
Persistently Lowest-Achieving Schools
in that application.
• Submit an amended application
that, as compared to its original
application, proposes to serve a
different set of target schools or a
different distribution of students within
the target schools identified in its
original application.
Because the Department is reopening
the competition to a limited number of
applicants who may have been
disadvantaged by the Department’s error
in responding to Competitive Preference
Priority 1, applicants that submit an
amended application should limit their
amendments to making changes that are
needed as a result of adjusting the
schools they are proposing to serve or
the distribution of the students they are
proposing to serve within their target
schools. Applicants should not make
changes to their applications that are
not related to adjusting their target
schools or their distribution of students
within target schools in response to the
information provided in this notice on
how to correctly respond to Competitive
Preference Priority 1.
In addition, we note that there is no
requirement that an applicant that
addressed Competitive Preference
Priority 1 amend its application. If an
applicant chooses not to amend its
application, or does not meet the third
criterion for submitting an amended
application, the application it originally
submitted will be reviewed and scored.
We are not reopening the application
period for any other applicants. Thus,
applications that were not timely
submitted may not be submitted as part
of this reopening. In addition,
applications that were timely submitted
but did not address Competitive
Preference Priority 1 are not affected by
this error and may not be amended.
All information in the December 19,
2011, notice, as amended by the January
25, 2012, notice, remains the same for
any amendments to applications that are
submitted in response to this reopening
notice, except for the updates to the
DATES section, the specific criteria
provided in this notice, and the
following instructions for submitting
amended applications.

state that EIA intends to treat all
information reported on fuel ethanol
production capacity, (both nameplate
and maximum sustainable capacity) on
Form EIA–819 as public information.
II. Current Actions
Beginning with the collection of July
2012 data, EIA proposes to treat all
information reported on fuel ethanol
production capacity, (both nameplate
and maximum sustainable capacity) on

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Upward Bound Program; Reopening the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012
Competition for Certain Applicants To Submit Amended Applications;
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number 84.047A
AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Education is reopening the Upward Bound (UB)
program FY 2012 competition and accepting amended applications for new
awards for the UB program FY 2012 competition from a limited number of
applicants that may have been affected by incorrect information
provided by the Department regarding Competitive Preference Priority
1--Persistently Lowest-Achieving Schools.
DATES:
Applications Available: March 2, 2012.
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: March 16, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken Waters, Upward Bound Program, U.S.
Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW., Room 7000, Washington, DC
20006-8510. Telephone: (202) 502-7586, or by email: Ken.Waters@ed.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 2011, we published a notice
in the Federal Register (76 FR 78621) inviting applications for new
awards for FY 2012 for the UB Program (NIA). On January 25, 2012, we
published a second notice in the Federal Register (77 FR 3751)
extending the deadline date for the transmittal of applications to
February 1, 2012, and extending the deadline date for Intergovernmental
Review to April 2, 2012.
Shortly before the revised application deadline date, it came to
the Department's attention that some informational materials made
available on a Department Web site contained an error that may have led
some applicants to incorrectly respond to one of the competitive
preference priorities. Following a review of the nature and extent of
the error and concerns about its potential effects on applicants'
scores, the Department is reopening the competition for two weeks to
provide time for applicants that submitted timely applications under
the February 1, 2012, deadline and that may have been affected by this
error to submit amended applications.
This opportunity will be limited to a specific subset of applicants
that meet certain demonstrated criteria. The Department will compare
amended applications submitted in accordance with this notice with the
original submissions to ensure the applicant satisfies the criteria for
a resubmission. The Department will not accept any amended application
that fails to meet the criteria set forth in this notice.
[[Page 12820]]
In the NIA, the Department announced three competitive preference
priorities to which potential applicants could respond. This notice
reopens the competition for applicants that addressed Competitive
Preference Priority 1--Turning Around Persistently Lowest-Achieving
Schools. The priority provided additional points for applicants
proposing to serve persistently lowest-achieving schools. This priority
was from the notice of final supplemental priorities and definitions
for discretionary grant programs, published in the Federal Register on
December 15, 2010 (75 FR 78486), and corrected on May 12, 2011 (76 FR
27637) and includes a regulatory definition for the term ``persistently
lowest-achieving schools.''
A frequently asked questions document (FAQ) posted on the
Department's Web site provided a link to the Department's Web page for
the School Improvement Grants program where applicants could go to
obtain a list of persistently lowest-achieving schools. This list,
however, was outdated, and the FAQ incorrectly stated that schools
listed as ``Tier III'' on the list would be considered persistently
lowest-achieving schools.
So that applicants that submitted an application on or before the
February 1, 2012, application deadline date and addressed Competitive
Preference Priority 1 are not disadvantaged by the Department's error,
we are reopening the application period for this group of applicants.
To assist these applicants in correctly responding to Competitive
Preference Priority 1, we are publishing a revised and up-to-date list
of those schools that the Department considers persistently lowest-
achieving schools for purposes of this Competitive Preference Priority.
This list does not include Tier III schools, which are not persistently
lowest-achieving schools. Only schools identified on this list as Tier
I or Tier II schools are considered by the Department to be
persistently lowest-achieving schools for the purposes of scoring
responses to Competitive Preference Priority 1. This list can be found
at https://www2.ed.gov/programs/sif/.
Applicants that successfully submitted an application on or before
the February 1, 2012, application deadline date and addressed
Competitive Preference Priority 1 will have until March 16, 2012 to
submit an amended application. However, because the Department is
offering this opportunity solely to correct a specific error, we will
only accept applications from applicants that meet the following
criteria. An applicant must:
Have submitted a timely application on or before the
application deadline date of February 1, 2012.
Have addressed Competitive Preference Priority 1--Turning
Around Persistently Lowest-Achieving Schools in that application.
Submit an amended application that, as compared to its
original application, proposes to serve a different set of target
schools or a different distribution of students within the target
schools identified in its original application.
Because the Department is reopening the competition to a limited
number of applicants who may have been disadvantaged by the
Department's error in responding to Competitive Preference Priority 1,
applicants that submit an amended application should limit their
amendments to making changes that are needed as a result of adjusting
the schools they are proposing to serve or the distribution of the
students they are proposing to serve within their target schools.
Applicants should not make changes to their applications that are not
related to adjusting their target schools or their distribution of
students within target schools in response to the information provided
in this notice on how to correctly respond to Competitive Preference
Priority 1.
In addition, we note that there is no requirement that an applicant
that addressed Competitive Preference Priority 1 amend its application.
If an applicant chooses not to amend its application, or does not meet
the third criterion for submitting an amended application, the
application it originally submitted will be reviewed and scored.
We are not reopening the application period for any other
applicants. Thus, applications that were not timely submitted may not
be submitted as part of this reopening. In addition, applications that
were timely submitted but did not address Competitive Preference
Priority 1 are not affected by this error and may not be amended.
All information in the December 19, 2011, notice, as amended by the
January 25, 2012, notice, remains the same for any amendments to
applications that are submitted in response to this reopening notice,
except for the updates to the DATES section, the specific criteria
provided in this notice, and the following instructions for submitting
amended applications.
1. Address to Request the Application Package: You can obtain an
application package via the Internet by downloading the package from
the program Web site at: https://www2.ed.gov/programs/trioupbound/.
If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), call the
Federal Relay Service (FRS), toll free, at 1-800-877-8339.
Individuals with disabilities can obtain a copy of the original
application package in an accessible format (e.g., braille, large
print, audiotape, or compact disc) by contacting the program contact
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
2. Content and Form of Application Submission: Requirements
concerning the content of an amended application, together with the
forms you must submit, are in the application package for this program.
Page Limit: The application narrative is where you, the applicant,
address the selection criteria that reviewers use to evaluate your
amended application. You must limit the amended application narrative
(Part III) to no more than 60 pages. However, any amended application
addressing the competitive preference priorities may include up to four
additional pages for each priority addressed (a total of 12 pages if
all three priorities are addressed) in a separate section of the
amended application submission to discuss how the amended application
meets the competitive preference priority or priorities. These
additional pages cannot be used for or transferred to the project
narrative. Partial pages will count as a full page toward the page
limit. For purpose of determining compliance with the page limit, each
page on which there are words will be counted as one full page.
Applicants must use the following standards:
A ``page'' is 8.5'' x 11'', on one side only, with 1''
margins at the top, bottom, and both sides.
Double space (no more than three lines per vertical inch)
all text in the amended application narrative, except titles, headings,
footnotes, quotations, references, and captions, as well as all text in
charts, tables, figures, and graphs.
Use a font that is either 12 point or larger.
Use one of the following fonts: Times New Roman, Courier,
Courier New, or Arial. An amended application submitted in any other
font (including Times Roman and Arial Narrow) will not be accepted.
The page limits do not apply to Part I, the Application for Federal
Assistance (SF 424); Part II, the budget information summary form (ED
Form 524); the assurances and certifications; the UB Program Profile;
or the one-page Project Abstract narrative. If you include any
[[Page 12821]]
attachments or appendices, these items will be counted as part of Part
III, the amended application narrative, for purposes of the page-limit
requirement. You must include your complete response to the selection
criteria, which also includes the budget narrative, in Part III, the
amended application narrative.
We will reject your amended application if you exceed the page
limit.
3. Submission Dates and Times:
Applications Available: March 2, 2012.
Deadline for Transmittal of Amended Applications: March 16, 2012.
Amended applications for grants under this program must be
submitted electronically using the Grants.gov Apply site (Grants.gov).
For information (including dates and times) about how to submit your
amended application electronically, or in paper format by mail or hand
delivery if you qualify for an exception to the electronic submission
requirement, please refer to the Other Submission Requirements section
of this notice.
We do not consider an amended application that does not comply with
the deadline requirements.
Individuals with disabilities who need an accommodation or
auxiliary aid in connection with the application process should contact
the person listed under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this notice. If the Department provides an accommodation or auxiliary
aid to an individual with a disability in connection with the
application process, the individual's application remains subject to
all other requirements and limitations in this notice.
4. Data Universal Numbering System Number, Taxpayer Identification
Number, and Central Contractor Registry: To do business with the
Department of Education, you must--
a. Have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and a
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN);
b. Register both your DUNS number and TIN with the Central
Contractor Registry (CCR), the Government's primary registrant
database;
c. Provide your DUNS number and TIN on your application; and
d. Maintain an active CCR registration with current information
while your amended application is under review by the Department and,
if you are awarded a grant, during the project period.
5. Other Submission Requirements: Amended applications for grants
under this program must be submitted electronically unless you qualify
for an exception to this requirement in accordance with the
instructions in this section.
a. Electronic Submission of Amended Applications.
Amended applications for grants under the Upward Bound Grant
Competition, CFDA number 84.047A, must be submitted electronically
using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at www.Grants.gov.
Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the original
application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit
your amended application. You may not email an electronic copy of a
grant application to us.
We will reject your amended application if you submit it in paper
format unless, as described elsewhere in this section, you qualify for
one of the exceptions to the electronic submission requirement and
submit, no later than one week before the amended application deadline
date, a written statement to the Department that you qualify for one of
these exceptions. Further information regarding calculation of the date
that is one week before the amended application deadline date is
provided later in this section under Exception to Electronic Submission
Requirement.
You may access the original electronic grant application for the
Upward Bound Grant competition at www.Grants.gov. You must search for
the downloadable application package for this competition by the CFDA
number. Do not include the CFDA number's alpha suffix in your search
(e.g., search for 84.047, not 84.047A).
Please note the following:
When you enter the Grants.gov site, you will find
information about submitting an application electronically through the
site, as well as the hours of operation.
Applications received by Grants.gov are date and time
stamped. Your amended application must be fully uploaded and submitted
and must be date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system no later
than 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the amended application
deadline date. Except as otherwise noted in this section, we will not
accept your amended application if it is received--that is, date and
time stamped by the Grants.gov system--after 4:30:00 p.m., Washington,
DC time, on the amended application deadline date. We do not consider
an amended application that does not comply with the deadline
requirements. When we retrieve your amended application from
Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are rejecting your amended
application because it was date and time stamped by the Grants.gov
system after 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the amended
application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the
application and the speed of your Internet connection. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you do not wait until the amended application
deadline date to begin the submission process through Grants.gov.
You should review and follow the Education Submission
Procedures for submitting an application through Grants.gov that are
included in the application package for this competition to ensure that
you submit your amended application in a timely manner to the
Grants.gov system. You can also find the Education Submission
Procedures pertaining to Grants.gov under News and Events on the
Department's G5 system home page at https://www.G5.gov.
You will not receive additional point value because you
submit your amended application in electronic format, nor will we
penalize you if you qualify for an exception to the electronic
submission requirement, as described elsewhere in this section, and
submit your amended application in paper format.
You must submit all documents electronically, including
all information you typically provide on the following forms: The
Application for Federal Assistance (SF 424), the Department of
Education Supplemental Information for SF 424, Budget Information--Non-
Construction Programs (ED 524), and all necessary assurances and
certifications.
You must upload any narrative sections and all other
attachments to your amended application as files in a .PDF (Portable
Document) read-only, non-modifiable format. Do not upload an
interactive or fillable .PDF file. If you upload a file type other than
a read-only, non-modifiable .PDF or submit a password-protected file,
we will not review that material.
Your electronic amended application must comply with any
page-limit requirements described in this notice.
After you electronically submit your amended application,
you will receive from Grants.gov an automatic notification of receipt
that contains a Grants.gov tracking number. (This notification
indicates receipt by Grants.gov only, not receipt by the Department.)
The Department then will retrieve your amended application from
Grants.gov and send a second notification to you by email. This second
notification indicates that the Department has received your amended
[[Page 12822]]
application and has assigned your amended application a PR/Award number
(an ED-specified identifying number unique to your amended
application).
We may request that you provide us original signatures on
forms at a later date.
Amended Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical
Issues with the Grants.gov System: If you are experiencing problems
submitting your amended application through Grants.gov, please contact
the Grants.gov Support Desk, toll free, at 1-800-518-4726. You must
obtain a Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number and must keep a record of
it.
If you are prevented from electronically submitting your amended
application on the amended application deadline date because of
technical problems with the Grants.gov system, we will grant you an
extension until 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, the following
business day to enable you to transmit your amended application
electronically or by hand delivery. You also may mail your amended
application by following the mailing instructions described elsewhere
in this notice.
If you submit an amended application after 4:30:00 p.m.,
Washington, DC time, on the amended application deadline date, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this notice and provide an explanation of the technical
problem you experienced with Grants.gov, along with the Grants.gov
Support Desk Case Number. We will accept your amended application if we
can confirm that a technical problem occurred with the Grants.gov
system and that that problem affected your ability to submit your
amended application by 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the
amended application deadline date. The Department will contact you
after a determination is made on whether your amended application will
be accepted.
Note: The extensions to which we refer in this section apply
only to the unavailability of, or technical problems with, the
Grants.gov system. We will not grant you an extension if you failed
to fully register to submit your application to Grants.gov before
the application deadline date and time or if the technical problem
you experienced is unrelated to the Grants.gov system.
Exception to Electronic Submission Requirement: You qualify for an
exception to the electronic submission requirement, and may submit your
amended application in paper format, if you are unable to submit an
amended application through the Grants.gov system because--
You do not have access to the Internet; or
You do not have the capacity to upload large documents to
the Grants.gov system;
and
No later than one week before the amended application
deadline date (seven calendar days or, if the seventh calendar day
before the amended application deadline date falls on a Federal
holiday, the next business day following the Federal holiday), you mail
or fax a written statement to the Department, explaining which of the
two grounds for an exception prevent you from using the Internet to
submit your amended application.
If you mail your written statement to the Department, it must be
postmarked no later than one week before the revised application
deadline date. If you fax your written statement to the Department, we
must receive the faxed statement no later than two weeks before the
amended application deadline date.
