Department; (2) will this information be

(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

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

ACTION: Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) invites public comment on a
proposed collection of information that
DOE is developing for submission to the

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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
