Title of Collection: Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010–11 (ECLS–K:2011) Spring FifthGrade National Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 1850–0750. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 99,576. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 36,108. Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010–11 (ECLS–K:2011), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), is a survey that focuses on children’s early school experiences beginning with kindergarten and continuing through the fifth grade. It includes the collection of data from parents, teachers, school administrators, and nonparental care providers, as well as direct child assessments. Like its sister study, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998–99 (ECLS– K), the ECLS–K:2011 is exceptionally broad in its scope and coverage of child development, early learning, and school progress, drawing together information from multiple sources to provide rich data about the population of children who were kindergartners in the 2010–11 school year. This submission requests OMB’s clearance for the spring 2016 fifth-grade data collection, which will be the last data collection for the study.

ACTION: Record of Decision (ROD). AGENCY: The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has decided to implement its part of the Proposed Action identified in the Whistling Ridge Energy Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (DOE/EIS–0419, August 2011). Under the Proposed Action, BPA will offer Whistling Ridge Energy LLC (WRE) contract terms for interconnection of WRE’s planned Whistling Ridge Energy Project (Wind Project) with the FCRTS. WRE’s Wind Project will be an up to 75-megawatt (MW) wind energy facility located in Skamania County, Washington. WRE has received approval to construct and operate the Wind Project from the Governor of the State of Washington, based on the recommendation of the Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC), which is the siting authority for the Wind Project. To allow the interconnection of WRE’s Wind Project to the FCRTS, BPA will construct and operate a new 230kilovolt (kV) substation and associated facilities that will connect the Wind Project to BPA’s existing North Bonneville-Midway 230-kV transmission line, which passes through the southern portion of the Wind Project site.1 These interconnection facilities will be located entirely within the boundaries of the Wind Project site. BPA also will execute a Large Generation Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) with WRE to provide interconnection services for the Wind Project. ADDRESSES: This Record of Decision will be available to all interested parties and affected persons and agencies and is being sent to all stakeholders who requested a copy. Copies of the Whistling Ridge Energy Project Draft and Final EISs, the Supplement Analysis that has been prepared, and SUMMARY: 1 This Record of Decision generally uses the term ‘‘Wind Project’’ to refer to all aspects of WRE’s proposal except for the BPA interconnection facilities, and uses the term ‘‘Project’’ in referring to both the Wind Project and the BPA interconnection facilities. In this Record of Decision, ‘‘Interconnection facilities’’ may include any network upgrades or transmission provider interconnection facilities that are necessary to support the interconnection of the Wind Project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background BPA and FCRTS Interconnection Requests BPA is a federal agency that owns and operates the majority of the high-voltage electric transmission system in the Pacific Northwest. This system is known as the FCRTS. BPA has adopted an Open Access Transmission Tariff (tariff) for transmission and interconnection services on the FCRTS, generally consistent with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) pro forma open access tariff.2 BPA’s tariff establishes processes for accepting requests to interconnect to the FCRTS, conducting interconnection studies and environmental reviews for these requests, and offering LGIAs on a first-come, first served basis in response to the requests. For all requests for interconnection of generating facilities that exceed 20 MW, BPA has adopted processes that are generally consistent with FERC’s Order No. 2003, Standardization of Large Generator Interconnection Agreement and Procedures, and Order No. 661, Interconnection for Wind Energy. Orders No. 2003 and 661 provide a uniform process and agreement for studying and offering interconnection to wind generating facilities exceeding 20 MW. In its Order No. 2003 compliance filing, BPA included provisions in its Large Generator Interconnection Procedures (LGIP) that reflect BPA’s obligation to complete environmental 2 Although BPA is not subject to FERC’s jurisdiction, BPA follows the open access tariff as a matter of national policy. This course of action ensures that BPA will receive reciprocal and nondiscriminatory access to the transmission systems of utilities that are subject to FERC’s jurisdiction.
