Strategies to Optimize Army
Operating and Generating Forces for
2025 & Beyond. This study contains
classified and unclassified material and
will be presented in the open and closed
portions of the meeting. The purpose of
the study is to develop strategies for

beyond (2030–2040). This study will
identify opportunities to improve the
efficiency of operating force combat
service support and generating force
capabilities to help provide the means
to invest in core operational
capabilities.
Human Interaction and Behavioral
Enhancement. This study is not
classified and will be presented in the
open portion of the meeting. The
purpose of this study is to identify and
asses methods and techniques to
understand, interact and influence
human behavior in support of Army
missions.
Force 2025 and Beyond. This study is
not classified and will be presented in
the open portion of the meeting. This
study will provide findings and
recommendations for operational
concepts and advanced technologies
along with the associated force designs
for improving and maintaining
readiness, designing and conducting
training, and aligning the required
logistics investments.

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
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Student Messaging
in GEAR UP Demonstration.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 5,360.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,386.
Abstract: The Student Messaging in
GEAR UP Demonstration, sponsored by
the Institute of Education Sciences
(IES), U.S. Department of Education
(ED), is being conducted to test the
effectiveness of a promising strategy to
improve college-related outcomes in the
federal college access program Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP).
The demonstration will use a
randomized controlled trial (RCT)
design to test the effectiveness of
sending customized messaging to
students, first during the summer after
high school graduation, and then in the
fall and spring of their expected first
year of college. Students within high
schools that volunteer for the
demonstration will be randomly
assigned to either receive the messages
or not. This ICR requests clearance for
the collection of GEAR UP student
rosters and administration of a baseline
survey. In addition to the baseline
survey data that will be collected from
students, college-related outcome data
will be extracted from national datasets
(National Student Clearinghouse Data
(NSC) and the Federal Student Aid
(FSA) database). Impact and descriptive
analyses will be conducted to answer
the study research questions. The
evaluation plans call for two reports.
The first, published in summer 2018,
will be based on data collected through
2017 that will look at college advising
received in high school and early

The second report will be available in
early 2020, and will investigate college
persistence.

Electric Grid Resilience SelfAssessment Tool for Distribution
System
Office of Electricity Delivery
and Energy Reliability, U.S. Department
of Energy.
ACTION: Request for Information.
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) Office of Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability (OE) is seeking
comments and information from
interested parties to inform the
development of a pilot project
concerning an interactive selfassessment tool to understand the
relative resilience level of national
electric grid distribution systems to
extreme weather events. An interactive
tool could be used by distribution
utilities to identify opportunities for
enhancing resilience with new
technologies and/or procedures to
support investment planning and
related tariff filings. The focus of this
Request for Information (RFI) is on the
design and implementation of the
interactive self-assessment resilience
tool.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received on
or before August 17, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Comments can be submitted
by any of the following methods and
must be identified by ‘‘EGRtool’’. By
email: EGRtool@hq.doe.gov . Include
‘‘EGRtool’’ in the subject line of the
message. By mail: Dan Ton, Office of
Electricity Delivery and Energy
Reliability, U.S. Department of Energy,
Forrestal Building, Room 6E–092, 1000
Independence Avenue SW.,
Washington, DC 20585. Note: Delivery
of the U.S. Postal Service mail to DOE
may be delayed by several weeks due to
security screening. DOE, therefore,
encourages those wishing to comment to
submit comments electronically by
email.

With the release of Presidential Policy
Directive 21 (PPD–21), the nation has
started to focus in earnest on the
resilience of our critical infrastructure.
In the face of the increasing extreme
weather events and other stresses or
disturbances, the resilience of critical
infrastructure, especially the energy
infrastructure, has become paramount.
Building upon the insights that have
been gained through the development of
the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity
Model, the Electricity Subsector
Cybersecurity Capability Maturity
Model, and the Smart Grid Maturity
Model, DOE–OE would like to build a
complementary capability regarding the
resilience of electric distribution
infrastructure.
For the purposes of this RFI, the
definition of resilience is ‘‘the ability of
an entity—e.g., asset, organization,
community, region—to anticipate,
resist, absorb, respond to, adapt to, and
recover from a disturbance.’’ 1
This definition provides the
framework for four domains that can be
used to understand the current level of
resilience of distribution system
infrastructure. Through these domains,
distribution utilities will be able to
make informed decisions on
strengthening resiliency, based on
identifiable areas where future
investments in new technologies and
operating procedures could be made.
The four domains are:
Preparedness: Activities undertaken
by an entity in anticipation of the
threats/hazards, and the possible
consequences, to which it is subject.
Mitigation Measures: Characterize the
facility’s capabilities to resist a threat/
hazard or to absorb the consequences
from the threat/hazard.
Response Capabilities: Immediate and
ongoing activities, tasks, programs, and
systems that have been undertaken or
developed to respond and adapt to the
adverse effects of an event.
Recovery Mechanisms: Activities and
programs designed to be effective and
efficient in returning operating
conditions to a level that is acceptable
to the entity.
