We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section of
this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The
GAN also incorporates your approved
application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a
grant under this competition, you must
ensure that you have in place the
necessary processes and systems to
comply with the reporting requirements
in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive
funding under the competition. This

under 2 CFR 170.110(b).
(b) At the end of your project period,
you must submit a final performance

as directed by the Secretary. If you
receive a multi-year award, you must
submit an annual performance report
that provides the most current

may also require more frequent
performance reports under 34 CFR
75.720(c). For specific requirements on
reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/
fund/grant/apply/appforms/
appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: The
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal
departments and agencies to improve
the effectiveness of programs by
engaging in strategic planning, setting
outcome-related goals for programs, and
measuring program results against those
goals.
The purpose of this proposed priority
is to fund a cooperative agreement with
the goal of establishing a Job-Driven
Vocational Rehabilitation Technical
Assistance Center (JDVRTAC) to
achieve, at a minimum, the following
outcomes: (a) Improve the ability of
State VR agencies to work with
employers and providers of training to
ensure equal access to and greater
opportunities for individuals with
disabilities to engage in competitive
employment or training; (b) Increase the
number and quality of employment
outcomes in competitive, integrated
settings for VR-eligible individuals with
disabilities, including broadening the
range of occupations for such
individuals in such settings, that result
from job-driven strategies; and (c)
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:30 Aug 18, 2014
Jkt 232001
Increase the number of VR-eligible
individuals with disabilities in
employer-driven job training programs.
The Cooperative Agreement will
specify the short-term and long-term
measures that will be used to assess the
grantee’s performance against the goals
and objectives of the project and the
outcomes listed in the preceding
paragraph.
In its annual and final performance
report to the Department, the grant
recipient will be expected to report the
data outlined in the Cooperative
Agreement that is needed to assess its
performance.
The Cooperative Agreement and
annual report will be reviewed by RSA
and the grant recipient between the
third and fourth quarter of each project
period. Adjustments will be made to the
project accordingly in order to ensure
demonstrated progress towards meeting
the goal and outcomes of the project.
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).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Proposed Agency Information
Collection
U.S. Department of Energy.
Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance, a proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
Department of Energy (DOE), Office of
Science (SC) has chosen to leverage the
use of Government, Off-the-Shelf
(GOTS) software capabilities to
implement a new consolidated system
called Portfolio Analysis and
Management System (PAMS).
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. This notice is being
republished due to the time lapsed from
original publication.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before October 20,
2014. If you anticipate difficulty in
submitting comments within that
period, contact the person listed in
ADDRESSES as soon as possible.

Written comments may be
sent to Portfolio Analysis and

Information Collection Request (ICR) by
email at pams-irccomments@science.doe.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Marina Amoroso by email at
marina.amoroso@science.doe.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: New.
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Information Collection Request
Title: Portfolio Analysis and
Management System (PAMS)
Submissions for Letter of Intent (LOI),
Pre-proposals, Interagency Proposals,
and DOE National Laboratory Proposals;
System Registration by External Users.
(3) Type of Request: New.
(4) Purpose: This new system is based
on the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) Electronic
Handbooks software. Discretionary
financial assistance proposals continue
to be collected using Grants.gov but are
imported into PAMS for use by the
program offices. Under the proposed
information collection, an external
interface will be implemented in PAMS
to allow two other types of proposal
submission: DOE National Laboratories
will be able to submit proposals for
technical work authorizations directly
into PAMS, while other Federal
Agencies will be able to submit
Proposals for interagency awards
directly into PAMS. External users from
all institution types will be able to
submit Solicitation Letters of Intent and
Pre-proposals directly into PAMS. All
applicants, whether they submitted
through Grants.gov or PAMS, will be
able to register with PAMS to view the
proposals that were submitted. They
will also be able to maintain a minimal
amount of information in their personal
profile. The proposed collection will
automate and streamline the
submission, tracking, and
correspondence portions of financial
award pre-review processes. The
information collected will be used by
DOE to select applicants and projects for
financial awards.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: The following numbers
are calculated using the average of the
number of financial assistance proposals
received in fiscal year 2006 through
fiscal year 2010. 9,920 PAMS
registrants, who are to include 8,000
submitters of lab proposals, interagency
proposals, pre-proposals, and Letters Of
