this information to maintain property
records and material inspection,
shipping, and receiving reports.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.
Annual Burden Hours: 53,560.
Number of Respondents: 16,075.
Responses per Respondent: 2.97.
Annual Responses: 47,815.

Summary of Information Collection
This requirement provides for the
collection of information related to
providing Government property to
contractors; contractor use and
management of Government property;
and reporting, redistribution, and
disposal of contractor inventory.
a. DFARS 211.274, Item identification
and valuation requirements, and the
associated clause at DFARS 252.211–
7007, require contractors to provide
reliable accountability of property and
asset visibility throughout the property
life cycle by recording the property in
the DoD Item Unique Identification
(IUID) Registry. (This DoD IUID
recording replaced the annual report for
contracts involving Government
property on DD Form 1662 in the 2009
information collection update.)
b. DFARS 245.302(1)(i) requires
contractors to request and obtain
contracting officer approval before using
Government property on work for
foreign governments and international
organizations.
c. DFARS 245.604–3 concerns the sale
of surplus Government property. Under
paragraph (b), a contractor may be
directed by the plant clearance officer to
issue informal invitations for bid. Under
paragraph (d), a contractor may be
authorized by the plant clearance officer
to purchase or retain Government
property at less than cost if the plant
clearance officer determines this
method is essential for expeditious
plant clearance. When using the latter
method, the contractor must submit to
the plant clearance officer the informal
bids received and sufficient information
to ensure that the Government’s
interests will be adequately protected.
d. DFARS subpart 245.70, Plant
Clearance Forms, prescribes the
requirements for the use of the
following forms:
(1) DD Form 1149, Requisition and
Invoice/Shipping Document (JUL 2006):
Prescribed at DFARS 245.7001–2, the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:31 May 23, 2012
Jkt 226001
form is completed by the contractor for
transfer and donation of excess
contractor inventory.
(2) DD Form 1348–1A, DoD Single
Line Item Release/Receipt Document:
Prescribed at DFARS 245.7001–3, the
form is used when authorized by the
plant clearance officer.
(3) DD Form 1640, Request for Plant
Clearance (JUN 2003): Prescribed at
DFARS 245.7001–4, the contractor
completes this form to request plant
clearance assistance or transfer plant
clearance.
(4) DD Form 1641, Disposal
Determination/Approval (APR 2000):
Prescribed at DFARS 245.7001–5, this
form is used to record rationale for the
following disposal determinations:
(i) Downgrade useable property to
scrap.
(ii) Abandonment or destruction.
(iii) Noncompetitive sale of surplus
property.
(iv) Other disposal actions.
(5) DD Form 1822, End Use
Certificate: Addressed at DFARS
245.7001–6, this form is prescribed by
DoDI 5230.18, entitled ‘‘The DoD
Foreign Disclosure and Technical
Information System,’’ and is used when
directed by the plant clearance officer.
e. In addition, the following DD forms
are prescribed in the clause at DFARS
252.245–7004, Reporting, Reutilization,
and Disposal (AUG 2011):
(1) DD Form 1637, Notice of
Acceptance of Inventory Schedules
(JUN 2003): There is no information
collection burden on contractors
associated with this form. Government
plant clearance officers use this form to
indicate acceptance of the contractor’s
inventory schedules.
(2) DD Form 1639, Scrap Warranty:
When scrap is sold by the contractor,
after Government approval, the
purchaser of the scrap material(s) may
be required to certify, by signature on
the DD Form 1639, that (i) the
purchased material will be used only as
scrap and (ii), if sold by the purchaser,
the purchaser will obtain an identical
warranty from the individual buying the
scrap from the initial purchaser. The
warranty contained in the DD Form
1639 expires by its terms five years from
the date of the sale.

SUMMARY:
Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that Federal agencies provide interested
parties an early opportunity to comment
on information collection requests. The
Acting Director, Information Collection
Clearance Division, Privacy, Information
and Records Management Services,
Office of Management, publishes this
notice containing proposed information
collection requests at the beginning of
the Departmental review of the
information collection. The Department
of Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the

Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Case Studies of
Current and Former Grantees under the
Title III National Professional
Development Program (NPDP).
OMB Control Number: Pending.
Type of Review: New.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 438.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 450.
Abstract: Grants are made to
Institutions of Higher Education that
have entered into consortium
arrangements with states or school
districts. Funded projects are designed
to increase the pool of highly-qualified
teachers prepared to serve EL students
and increase the skills of teachers
already serving them.
The purpose of this study is to
examine how a sample of grantees is
implementing their grants with respect
to four areas: (1) The content and
structure of the education they provide
to current and prospective teachers of
English Learners; (2) the nature of
changes they attempt to make to the full
teacher education program at their
institutions; (3) the efforts grantees
make to institutionalize their projects so
that they can be sustained after the grant
ends; and (4) their efforts to track former
program participants. Information
gathered on these four topics will be
used to identify issues that could be
investigated in a larger, more
representative study.
This study will consist of 15
purposively-selected current grantees
and nine purposively-selected former
grantees. The case study sites will be
selected from among the grantees in the
2007 cohort (‘‘current grantees’’) and
those in the 2002 and 2004 cohorts
(‘‘former grantees’’), and will provide
information on some of the pre-service
and in-service teacher training models
and approaches that current grantees are
using, as well as strategies that former
grantees have used to track newlyminted teachers after program
completion and to plan for continuing
program services after the federal grant
period.
The study will collect data from the
current grantees through site visits and

from the former grantees through
telephone interviews.

This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1910–5164; (2)
Information Collection Request Title:
Customer Electricity Data Access and
Control Questionnaire; (3) Type of
Request: Renewal with changes; (4)
Purpose: The U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE) has
developed and launched a new
consumer-focused Web site (https://
openei.org/utilityaccess) with the
capability to map how and what
electricity use data utilities provide to
their customers. An online
questionnaire device captures and
publishes the necessary information as
a series of web-based maps upon
completion by electricity providers.
Each electric utility has the opportunity
to fill out a web-based questionnaire
that will automatically generate the
informational maps. Consumers can
visit the maps and Web site to learn
about data access offered by their utility
and how to use energy more efficiently.
Generation of such maps requires DOE
to collect information from electricity
providers about data access and sharing
services offered to their customers. DOE
is requesting a 3-year approval to
continue to collect and report this
information using an improved
collection instrument; (5) Annual
Estimated Number of Total Responses:
3,261; (6) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 761; (7) Annual
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping
Cost Burden: $0.
