SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Nine Federal agencies
have been cooperating under a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
on the research and development of
multimedia environmental models. The
MOU, which was revised in 2012,
continues an effort that began in 2001.
It establishes a framework for
facilitating cooperation and
coordination among the following
agencies (the specific research
organization within the agency is in
parentheses): National Science
Foundation; U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Engineer Research and
Development Center); U.S. Department
of Agriculture (Natural Resources
Conservation Service); U.S. Department
of Energy (Office of Biological and
Environmental Research); U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency; U.S.
Geological Survey; U.S. National
Oceanographic and Atmosphere

cooperating and coordinating in the
research and development (R&D) of
multimedia environmental models,
software and related databases,
including development, enhancements,
applications and assessments of site
specific, generic, and process-oriented
multimedia environmental models as
they pertain to human and
environmental health risk assessment.
Multimedia model development and
simulation supports interagency
interests in risk assessment, uncertainty
analyses, water supply issues and
contaminant transport.
Purpose of the Public Meeting: The
annual public meeting and workshop
provides an opportunity for the
scientific community, other Federal and
State agencies, and the public to be
briefed on ISCMEM activities and their
initiatives for the upcoming year, and to
discuss technological advancements in
multimedia environmental modeling.
Proposed Agenda: The ISCMEM Chair
will open the meeting with a brief
overview of the goals of the MOU and
an update on current activities of
ISCMEM. This introduction will be
followed by a series of invited
presentations starting on Tuesday
morning, Oct. 21, and ending on
Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 22.
Meeting Access: The meeting will be
available through Web Meeting
Services. To obtain web access to the

collection.

Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Department of
Education, in consultation with SEDL,
is planning a clustered randomized
evaluation in New Mexico to test the
effectiveness of materials intended to
improve the feedback that principals
provide in one-on-one conferences to
their teachers about their classroom
instruction. New Mexico Public
Education Department (NM PED) staff
has identified the topic of principal
feedback to teachers as an area where
New Mexico needs assistance. It has
limited resources and time to focus on
the post-observation conference step in
the teacher evaluation cycle. This
impact study will examine whether an
enhanced feedback guide relative to
business-as-usual guidance to principals
and teachers improves the structure and
content of the principal-teacher
feedback conversation, improves quality
of teacher instruction as measured by
subsequent formal observation ratings,
and increases student achievement and
state standardized tests.

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 4,818.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,422.
Abstract: The National Postsecondary
Student Aid Study (NPSAS), a
nationally representative study of how
students and their families finance
postsecondary education, was first
implemented by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) in 1987 and
has been fielded every 3 to 4 years
since. The next major data collection
will occur in 2016, with a field test
collection in 2015. This submission is
for the ninth cycle in the series,
NPSAS:16, which will also serve as the
base year study for the 2016
Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal
Study (B&B) which provides data on the
various paths of recent college graduates
into employment and additional
education. The NPSAS:16 field test
sample will include about 300
institutions (full-scale sample about
1,680) and about 4,500 students
(126,000 full-scale). Institution
contacting for the field test began in
September 2014 and student data
collection (interviews and institution
record data) will be conducted from
March through June 2015 (full-scale
institution contacting will begin in
October 2015 and student data will be
collected January through October
2016). Packages to request clearance for
the full-scale data collection effort
(institution list collection, cognitive
testing, student interview, and
institution record collection) will be
submitted beginning in 2015. This
submission for the 2015 field test
includes facsimiles of the student
interview and student records
abstraction instruments as well as
student and institution contacting
materials.
