necessary processes and systems to
comply with the reporting requirements
in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive
funding under the competition. This
does not apply if you have an exception
under 2 CFR 170.110(b).
(b) At the end of your project period,
you must submit a final performance
report, including financial information,
as directed by the Secretary. If you

fund/grant/apply/appforms/
appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: To evaluate
the overall success of its research
program, NIDRR assesses the quality of
its funded projects through a review of
grantee performance and products. Each
year, NIDRR examines a portion of its
grantees to determine:
• The number of products (e.g., new
or improved tools, methods, discoveries,
standards, interventions, programs, or
devices developed or tested with NIDRR
funding) that have been judged by
expert panels to be of high quality and
to advance the field.
• The average number of publications
per award based on NIDRR-funded
research and development activities in
refereed journals.
• The percentage of new NIDRR
grants that assess the effectiveness of
interventions, programs, and devices
using rigorous methods.
NIDRR uses information submitted by
grantees as part of their Annual
Performance Reports for these reviews.
Department of Education program
performance reports, which include
information on NIDRR programs, are
available on the Department’s Web site:
www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/opepd/
sas/.
5. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award, the Secretary may
consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the
extent to which a grantee has made
‘‘substantial progress toward meeting
the objectives in its approved
application.’’ This consideration
includes the review of a grantee’s
progress in meeting the targets and
projected outcomes in its approved
application, and whether the grantee

has expended funds in a manner that is
consistent with its approved application
and budget. In making a continuation
grant, the Secretary also considers
whether the grantee is operating in
compliance with the assurances in its
approved application, including those
applicable to Federal civil rights laws
that prohibit discrimination in programs
or activities receiving Federal financial
assistance from the Department (34 CFR
100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

SUMMARY:
Part F of
title IV of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA), specifies the
criteria, data elements, calculations, and
tables the Department uses in the
Federal Need Analysis Methodology to
determine the EFC.
Section 478 of part F of title IV of the
HEA requires the Secretary to annually
update four tables for general price
inflation—the Income Protection
Allowance, the Adjusted Net Worth of
a Business or Farm, the Education
Savings and Asset Protection
Allowance, and the Assessment
Schedules and Rates. The changes are
based, in general, upon increases in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI).
For award year 2014–2015, the
Secretary is charged with updating the
income protection allowance for parents
of dependent students, adjusted net
worth of a business or farm, the
Education Savings and Asset Protection
Allowance, and the assessment
schedules and rates to account for
inflation that took place between

29354
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 97 / Monday, May 20, 2013 / Notices
December 2012 and December 2013.
However, because the Secretary must
publish these tables before December
2013, the increases in the tables must be
based on a percentage equal to the
estimated percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI–U) for 2013. The
Secretary must also account for any
misestimation of inflation for the
immediately preceding year.
In developing the table values for the
2013–14 award year, the Secretary
assumed a 2.2 percent increase in the
CPI–U for the period December 2011
through December 2012. Actual
inflation for this time period was 2.1
percent. The Secretary estimates that the
increase in the CPI–U for the period
December 2012 through December 2013
will be 2.5 percent.
Additionally, section 601 of the
College Cost Reduction and Access Act
of 2007 (CCRAA, Pub. L. 110–84)
amended sections 475 through 478 of
the HEA affecting the income protection
allowance (IPA) tables for the 2009–
2010 through 2012–2013 award years
and indexed the annual update by a
percentage of the estimated Consumer
Price Index thereafter. These changes to
the IPA impact dependent students, as
well as independent students with
dependents other than a spouse and
independent students without
dependents other than a spouse. As
amended by the CCRAA, this notice
includes the new 2014–2015 award year
values for the IPA tables. The updated
tables are in sections 1, 2, and 4 of this
notice.
As provided for in section 478(d) of
the HEA, for each award year the
Secretary must also revise the education
savings and asset protection allowances.
The Education Savings and Asset
Protection Allowance table for award
year 2014–2015 has been updated in
section 3 of this notice.
Section 478(h) of the HEA also
requires the Secretary to increase the
amount specified for the Employment
Expense Allowance, adjusted for
inflation. This calculation is based on
increases in the Bureau of Labor
Statistics budget of the marginal costs
for a two-worker family compared to a
one-worker family. The items covered
by this calculation are: food away from
home, apparel, transportation, and
household furnishings, and operations.
The Employment Expense Allowance
table for award year 2014–2015 has been
updated in section 5 of this notice.
The HEA requires the following
annual updates:
1. Income Protection Allowance (IPA).
This allowance is the amount of living
expenses associated with the
maintenance of an individual or family
that may be offset against the family’s
income. The allowance varies by family
size. The IPA for the dependent student
is $6,260. The IPAs for parents of
dependent students for award year
2014–2015 are as follows:

4. Assessment Schedules and Rates.
Two schedules that are subject to
updates—one for parents of dependent
students and one for independent
students with dependents other than a
spouse—are used to determine the EFC
from family financial resources toward
educational expenses. For dependent
students, the EFC is derived from an
assessment of the parents’ adjusted
available income (AAI). For
independent students with dependents
other than a spouse, the EFC is derived
from an assessment of the family’s AAI.

6. Allowance for State and Other
Taxes. The allowance for State and
other taxes protects a portion of parents’
and students’ incomes from being
considered available for postsecondary
educational expenses. There are four
categories for State and other taxes, one
each for parents of dependent students,
independent students with dependents
other than a spouse, dependent
students, and independent students
without dependents other than a
spouse. Section 478(g) of the HEA
directs the Secretary to update the tables
for State and other taxes after reviewing

maintained by the Internal Revenue
Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–604, Cash Management
Agreements.
OMB Control No.: To be determined.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–604 information collection
requirements.
Abstract: Cash management or
‘‘money pool’’ programs typically
concentrate affiliates’ cash assets in
joint accounts for the purpose of
providing financial flexibility and
lowering the cost of borrowing.
In a 2001 investigation, FERC staff
found that balances in cash management
programs affecting FERC-regulated
entities totaled approximately $16
billion. Additionally, other
investigations revealed large transfers of
funds (amounting to more than $1
billion) between regulated pipeline
affiliates and non-regulated parents
whose financial conditions were
precarious. The Commission found that
these and other fund transfers and the
enormous (mostly unregulated) pools of
money in cash management programs
could detrimentally affect regulated
rates.
To protect customers and promote
transparency the Commission issued
Order 634–A (2003) requiring entities to
formalize in writing and file with the
Commission their cash management
agreements. The Commission obtained
OMB clearance for this new reporting
requirement under the FERC–555
information collection (OMB Control
No. 1902–0098). However, in
subsequent extension requests to OMB
for the FERC–555 collection the
Commission failed to include the cash
management agreement reporting
burden as part of the estimates. In this
proceeding the Commission rectifies the
omission by seeking public comment on
the reporting requirement in order to
update the OMB clearance for cash
management agreement filings. The
Commission intends to put the reporting
requirements under the collection
number, ‘‘FERC–604’’ and request a new
OMB Control Number.
The Commission implemented these
requirements in 18 CFR 141.500,
260.400, and 357.5.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities,
natural gas companies, and oil pipeline
companies.

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces the annual updates to the tables used
in the statutory Federal Need Analysis Methodology that determines a
student's expected family contribution (EFC) for award year 2014-2015
for these student financial aid programs. The intent of this notice is
to alert the financial aid community and the broader public, to these
required annual updates used in the determination of student aid
eligibility.

Education, Room 63G2, Union Center Plaza, 830 First Street NE.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Part F of title IV of the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), specifies the criteria, data elements,
calculations, and tables the Department uses in the Federal Need
Analysis Methodology to determine the EFC.
Section 478 of part F of title IV of the HEA requires the Secretary
to annually update four tables for general price inflation--the Income
Protection Allowance, the Adjusted Net Worth of a Business or Farm, the
Education Savings and Asset Protection Allowance, and the Assessment
Schedules and Rates. The changes are based, in general, upon increases
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
For award year 2014-2015, the Secretary is charged with updating
the income protection allowance for parents of dependent students,
adjusted net worth of a business or farm, the Education Savings and
Asset Protection Allowance, and the assessment schedules and rates to
account for inflation that took place between
[[Page 29354]]
December 2012 and December 2013. However, because the Secretary must
publish these tables before December 2013, the increases in the tables
must be based on a percentage equal to the estimated percentage
increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
for 2013. The Secretary must also account for any misestimation of
inflation for the immediately preceding year.
In developing the table values for the 2013-14 award year, the
Secretary assumed a 2.2 percent increase in the CPI-U for the period
December 2011 through December 2012. Actual inflation for this time
period was 2.1 percent. The Secretary estimates that the increase in
the CPI-U for the period December 2012 through December 2013 will be
2.5 percent.
Additionally, section 601 of the College Cost Reduction and Access
Act of 2007 (CCRAA, Pub. L. 110-84) amended sections 475 through 478 of
the HEA affecting the income protection allowance (IPA) tables for the
2009-2010 through 2012-2013 award years and indexed the annual update
by a percentage of the estimated Consumer Price Index thereafter. These
changes to the IPA impact dependent students, as well as independent
students with dependents other than a spouse and independent students
without dependents other than a spouse. As amended by the CCRAA, this
notice includes the new 2014-2015 award year values for the IPA tables.
The updated tables are in sections 1, 2, and 4 of this notice.
As provided for in section 478(d) of the HEA, for each award year
the Secretary must also revise the education savings and asset
protection allowances. The Education Savings and Asset Protection
Allowance table for award year 2014-2015 has been updated in section 3
of this notice.
Section 478(h) of the HEA also requires the Secretary to increase
the amount specified for the Employment Expense Allowance, adjusted for
inflation. This calculation is based on increases in the Bureau of
Labor Statistics budget of the marginal costs for a two-worker family
compared to a one-worker family. The items covered by this calculation
are: food away from home, apparel, transportation, and household
furnishings, and operations. The Employment Expense Allowance table for
award year 2014-2015 has been updated in section 5 of this notice.
The HEA requires the following annual updates:
1. Income Protection Allowance (IPA). This allowance is the amount
of living expenses associated with the maintenance of an individual or
family that may be offset against the family's income. The allowance
varies by family size. The IPA for the dependent student is $6,260. The
IPAs for parents of dependent students for award year 2014-2015 are as
follows:

2. Adjusted Net Worth (NW) of a Business or Farm. A portion of the
full NW (assets less debts) of a business or farm is excluded from the
calculation of an expected contribution because (1) the income produced
from these assets is already assessed in another part of the formula;
and (2) the formula protects a portion of the value of the assets.
The portion of these assets included in the contribution
calculation is computed according to the following schedule. This
schedule is used for parents of dependent students, independent
students without dependents other than a spouse, and independent
students with dependents other than a spouse.

If the NW of a business or farm is Then the adjusted NW is
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $1........................... $0.
$1 To $125,000......................... $0 + 40% of NW.
$125,001 To $375,000................... $50,000 + 50% of NW over
$125,000.
$375,001 To $620,000................... $175,000 + 60% of NW over
$375,000.
$620,001 or more....................... $322,000 + 100% of NW over
$620,000.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Education Savings and Asset Protection Allowance. This allowance
protects a portion of NW (assets less debts) from being considered
available for postsecondary educational expenses. There are three asset
protection allowance tables: One for parents of dependent students, one
for independent students without dependents other than a spouse, and
one for independent students with dependents other than a spouse.

4. Assessment Schedules and Rates. Two schedules that are subject
to updates--one for parents of dependent students and one for
independent students with dependents other than a spouse--are used to
determine the EFC from family financial resources toward educational
expenses. For dependent students, the EFC is derived from an assessment
of the parents' adjusted available income (AAI). For independent
students with dependents other than a spouse, the EFC is derived from
an assessment of the family's AAI. The AAI represents a measure of a
family's financial strength, which considers both income and assets.
The Parents' contribution for a dependent student is computed
according to the following schedule:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If AAI is Then the contribution is
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than -$3,409............................. -$750.
($3,409) To $15,600........................... 22% Of AAI.
$15,601 To $19,600............................ $3,432 + 25% Of AAI over $15,600.
$19,601 To $23,500............................ $4,432 + 29% Of AAI over $19,600.
$23,501 To $27,500............................ $5,563 + 34% Of AAI over $23,500.
$27,501 To $31,500............................ $6,923 + 40% Of AAI over $27,500.
$31,501 or more............................... $8,523 + 47% Of AAI over $31,500.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contribution for an independent student with dependents other
than a spouse is computed according to the following schedule:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If AAI is Then the contribution is
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than -$3,409............................. -$750.
($3,409) To $15,600........................... 22% Of AAI.
$15,601 To $19,600............................ $3,432 + 25% Of AAI over $15,600.
$19,601 To $23,500............................ $4,432 + 29% Of AAI over $19,600.
$23,501 To $27,500............................ $5,563 + 34% Of AAI over $23,500.
$27,501 To $31,500............................ $6,923 + 40% Of AAI over $27,500.
$31,501 or more............................... $8,523 + 47% Of AAI over $31,500.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Employment Expense Allowance. This allowance for employment-
related expenses--which is used for the parents of dependent students
and for married independent students--recognizes additional expenses
incurred by working spouses and single-parent households. The allowance
is based on the marginal differences in costs for a two-worker family
compared to a one-worker family. The items covered by these additional
expenses are: Food away from home, apparel, transportation, and
household furnishings and operations.
The employment expense allowance for parents of dependent students,
married independent students without
[[Page 29358]]
dependents other than a spouse, and independent students with
dependents other than a spouse is the lesser of $4,000 or 35 percent of
earned income.
6. Allowance for State and Other Taxes. The allowance for State and
other taxes protects a portion of parents' and students' incomes from
being considered available for postsecondary educational expenses.
There are four categories for State and other taxes, one each for
parents of dependent students, independent students with dependents
other than a spouse, dependent students, and independent students
without dependents other than a spouse. Section 478(g) of the HEA
directs the Secretary to update the tables for State and other taxes
after reviewing the Statistics of Income file data maintained by the
Internal Revenue Service.
