Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. 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

Title of Collection: State of Preschool
Survey 2013–2015.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: New information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 53.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 636.
Abstract: The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of
the U.S. Department of Education (ED),
is seeking approval to conduct in 2013,
2014, and 2015 the annual, web-based
State of Preschool survey, which
centralizes data about publicly provided
early childhood education
opportunities. Data are collected from
state agencies responsible for providing
early childhood education and made
available for secondary analyses. Data
collected as part of the survey focus on
enrollment counts in state-funded early
childhood education programs, funding
provided by the states for these
programs, and program monitoring and
licensing policies. The collected data
are then reported, both separately and in
combination with extant data available
from federal agencies supporting early
childhood education programs such as
Head Start and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau form
the basis for some of the rates developed
for the State of Preschool reports. The
data and annual report resulting from
the State of Preschool data collection
provide a key information resource for
research and for federal and state policy
on publicly funded early childhood
education.

DOE’s Preferred Alternative for Certain
Tanks Evaluated in the Final Tank
Closure and Waste Management
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Hanford Site, Richland,
Washington
AGENCY:
U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE).
Notice of DOE’s preferred
alternative.
ACTION:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is announcing its
preferred alternative for wastes
contained in underground radioactive
waste storage tanks evaluated in the
Final Tank Closure and Waste
Management Environmental Impact
Statement for the Hanford Site,
Richland, Washington (Final TC & WM
EIS, DOE/EIS–0391, December 2012).
With regard to those wastes that, in the
future, may be properly and legally
classified as mixed transuranic waste
(mixed TRU waste) 1 DOE’s preferred
alternative is to retrieve, treat, package,
and characterize and certify the wastes
for disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot
Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico,
a geologic repository for the disposal of
mixed TRU waste generated by atomic
energy defense activities. This Notice
supplements DOE’s expression of its
preferred alternatives identified in the
Final TC & WM EIS in Section S.7 of the
Summary, and in Chapter 2, Section
2.12, of Volume 1. (Also see
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.)
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Final TC &
WM EIS (paper or electronic) may be
obtained by contacting: Ms. Mary Beth
Burandt, NEPA Document Manager,

Richland, Washington 99352, Email:
TC&WMEIS@saic.com.
The Final TC & WM EIS and its DOE
Notice of Availability are available on
SUMMARY:
1 Transuranic (TRU) waste is waste that contains
alpha particle-emitting radionuclides with atomic
numbers greater than that of uranium (92) and halflives greater than 20 years in concentrations greater
than 100 nanocuries per gram of waste. ‘‘Mixed
waste’’ is radioactive waste containing hazardous
constituents regulated under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Hanford Site, located in
southeastern Washington State along the
Columbia River, is approximately 586
square miles in size. Hanford’s mission
from the early 1940s to approximately
1989 included defense-related nuclear
research, development, and weapons
production activities. These activities
created a wide variety of chemical and
radioactive wastes. Hanford’s mission
now is focused on the cleanup of those
wastes and ultimate closure of the Site.
To support its decision making
process, DOE prepared the TC & WM
EIS pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
in accordance with Council on
Environmental Quality and DOE NEPA
implementing regulations (40 CFR Parts
1500–1508; 10 CFR Part 1021); the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and
the Washington State Department of
Ecology are cooperating agencies on this
EIS. The TC & WM EIS addresses
proposed actions in three major areas:
The retrieval and treatment of waste
from 177 underground radioactive waste
storage tanks, including 149 single-shell
tanks (SSTs), and closure of the SSTs;
decommissioning the Fast Flux Test
Facility and its auxiliary facilities; and
continued and expanded management
of low-level radioactive waste and
mixed low-level radioactive waste.
