Title of Collection: Annual Mandatory
Collection of Elementary and Secondary
Education Data for EDFacts.
OMB Control Number: 1875–0240.
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 55.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 116,325.
Abstract: The collection, use, and
reporting of education data is an integral
component of the mission of the U.S.
Department of Education (ED). EDFacts,
an ED initiative to put performance data
at the center of ED’s policy,
management, and budget decisionmaking processes for all K–12
educational programs, has transformed
the way in which ED collects and uses
data. EDFacts provides an electronic
submission system for state education
agencies (SEAs), and centralizes within
ED the availability of the performance
data supplied by SEAs to enable better
analysis and use in policy development,
planning, and management. ED is
currently in the process of collecting
data for the 2010–11, 2011–12, and
2012–13 school years as approved by
OMB (1875–0240). ED seeks another
three-year approval for this collection.
The proposed collection includes the
2013–14, 2014–15, and 2015–16 school
years. (As part of this approval, it
should be understood that ED is
authorized to collect the data about
these school years over whatever time is
required to secure complete and
accurate data from each state education
agency.) ED seeks OMB approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act to collect
the elementary and secondary education
data from state education agencies as
described in the five sections of
Attachment B that document all of the
data groups. ED encourages the public
to review, at a minimum, Attachment C,
which outlines the changes between
what is currently collected and what is
newly proposed for collection. To the
extent that any of these proposed new
data groups are not available as of the
2013–14 school year, ED seeks to know
from the SEA data providers if those
data will be available in future years. If
information for a data group is not
currently available, please provide
information beyond the fact that it is not
available. Are there specific
impediments to providing this data that
you can describe? Is the definition for
the data group unclear or ambiguous?
Do the requested permitted values align
with the way your state collects the
data? This is very important information
because the collection of these data is
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703

mandatory. ED also seeks to know if the
SEA data definitions are consistent and
compatible with the EDFacts definitions
and accurately reflect the way data is
stored and used for education by state
education agencies. The answers to
these questions by the data providers
will influence the timing and content of
the final EDFacts proposal for the
collection of these data.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Availability for the Draft
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment for the Recycling of Scrap
Metals Originating From Radiological
Areas
Department of Energy.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) announces the availability for
public review and comment of the Draft
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA) for the Recycling of
Scrap Metals Originating from
Radiological Areas. On September 28,
2011, the Secretary of Energy approved
a recommendation, contingent on the
completion of the appropriate National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review, to delegate authority to manage
radiological clearance and release of
scrap metal from radiological areas to
each Under Secretary for sites under his
or her cognizance, in accordance with
the processes contained in DOE Order
458.1 (which replaces the order
previously governing release
procedures). This Draft PEA for the
Recycling of Scrap Metals Originating
from Radiological Areas analyzes the
potential environmental impacts
associated with resuming the clearance
of scrap metal, originating from DOE
radiological areas, for recycling
pursuant to improved procedures
designed to assure that clearance for
release is limited to metals meeting
stringent criteria. This Draft PEA also
analyzes the reasonable alternatives to
this proposal. Metals with volumetric
radiological contamination, and scrap
metals resulting from Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
and Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA), are not included in the
scope of this PEA.
DATES: DOE invites Federal agencies,
state and local governments, Native
American tribes, industry, other
interested organizations, and members
of the public to submit comments on the
Draft PEA during the public comment
period which starts with the publication
of the Notice of Availability in the
Federal Register and extends for 30

days until January 11, 2013. DOE will
consider comments received after this
date to the extent practicable.
ADDRESSES: The Draft PEA for the
Recycle of Scrap Metal Originating from
Radiological Areas is available for
review on the DOE NEPA Web site at:
https://www.energy.gov/nepa and on the
National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) NEPA Web site
at: https://nnsa.energy.gov/nepa.
Comments on the Draft PEA for the
Recycle of Scrap Metal Originating from
Radiological Areas may be submitted
electronically via email to Scrap_PEA
comments@hq.doe.gov. Alternatively,
written comments may be sent by postal
mail to: Dr. Jane Summerson, DOE
NNSA, P.O. Box 5400, Bldg 401, K.AFB
East, Albuquerque, NM 87185.
For general information about the
DOE NEPA process, please contact: Ms.
Carol Borgstrom, Director, Office of
NEPA Policy and Compliance (GC–54),
U.S. Department of Energy, 1000
Independence Avenue SW.,
Washington, DC 20585, telephone (202)
586–4600, or leave a message at 1–800–
472–2756. Additional information
regarding DOE NEPA activities and
access to many of DOE’s NEPA
documents are available on the Internet
through the DOE NEPA Web site at
https://www.energy.gov/nepa.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE has
prepared the Draft PEA for Recycling of
Scrap Metals Originating from
Radiological Areas in accordance with
Council on Environmental Quality
regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500—1508)
that implement NEPA and DOE’s NEPA
Implementing Procedures (10 CFR Part
1021).
Background: On July 13, 2000, the
Secretary of Energy imposed an agencywide suspension on the unrestricted
release of scrap metal originating from
radiological areas at DOE facilities for
the purpose of recycling. The
suspension was imposed in response to
public concerns about the potential
effects of radioactivity in or on metal
recycled from the Department’s
facilities. Other materials continued to
be controlled and cleared for release
under the requirements of DOE Order
5400.5, Radiation Protection of the
Public and the Environment. Initially,
the suspension was to remain in effect
until December 31, 2000, while the
Department developed and
implemented improvements, revised its
directives and associated guidance
documents applicable to scrap metal
releases, and engaged the public in a
dialogue regarding DOE radiological
release practices through the NEPA
process. In 2001, DOE announced its
