The Elizabeth River and Southern Branch Channels are federally-improved channels extending from the Norfolk Harbor Channels extent near Lambert’s Point to the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River. The Elizabeth River is a tributary of the James River, and is located near the confluence of the James River along its southern bank and the Chesapeake Bay mainstem. The land area surrounding the Elizabeth River and Southern Branch Channels includes the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth. The study is anticipated to include an evaluation of a range of dimensions for the Elizabeth River and Southern Branch Navigation Channels. Specific planning objectives for the Elizabeth River and Southern Branch Navigation Improvements General Reevaluation Study include: • Determine if commercial navigation benefits exist to justify additional deepening and potentially widening of the Elizabeth River and Southern Branch Channels; • Examine the impact of increased channel system dimensions on the capacity of existing dredged material placement sites; • Evaluate the impact of increased channel system dimensions on shoaling rates for existing and advance harbor maintenance needs; • Examine the hydrodynamic and environmental effects of increased dimensions of the channel system and effects on adjacent shorelines; • Identify environmental and cultural resources in the study area and potential impacts from increased channel system dimensions to those resources; and • Identify the National Economic Development plan which most DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57161 efficiently and safely accommodates existing and larger commercial ship and barge traffic while avoiding or minimizing impacts to environmental resources.

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. Type of Review: A new information collection. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local or Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,029,889. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 175,081. Abstract: This is a request for an emergency clearance approval for the Data Challenges and Appeals Solution (DCAS), a new system that will allow institutions to challenge their selfreported data as well as Department calculated metrics. The system will ultimately provide for the receipt, processing, data storage and archiving of data challenges received from institutions for challenges of Gainful Employment (GE) metrics, Cohort Default Rates (institutional and programmatic), and Disclosure Rates and Metrics. This request is for a new collection for the first phase of DCAS, the institutional challenge to the GE completers list provided to institutions by the Department of Education. The other aspects of DCAS will be made functional and available to institutions in stages, to allow for full development and testing, through subsequent system releases. Additional Information: An emergency clearance approval for the use of the system is described below due to the following conditions: • The Department’s contracting process experienced a seven month setback when a contractor solicitation had to be cancelled and re-issued. In order to allow the challenge and appeal process to be implemented on time, the system must be able to accept challenges to the completer lists by November 9, 2015. • The Department believes that students will be harmed if there is a delay in implementing the challenge process which will ultimately delay the issuance of final rates. The schedule is to have the final rates published and available to disclose to students by January 2017. • Trends in graduates’ earnings, student loan debt, defaults, and repayment underscore the need for the Department to act swiftly. The Gainful Employment accountability framework takes into consideration the relationship between total student loan debt and earnings after completion of a postsecondary program. • The Gainful Employment regulation was issued after both negotiated rulemaking and notice-and-comment procedures. The full challenge and appeals process is already detailed at 34 CFR 668.405 and 668.406. Burden calculations were likewise already promulgated. Stakeholders and other interested parties have already had significant opportunities to give input on the process. Dated: September 17, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is 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: Data Challenges and Appeals Solution (DCAS).
    OMB Control Number: 1845-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local or Tribal 
Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,029,889.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 175,081.
    Abstract: This is a request for an emergency clearance approval for 
the Data Challenges and Appeals Solution (DCAS), a new system that will 
allow institutions to challenge their self-reported data as well as 
Department calculated metrics. The system will ultimately provide for 
the receipt, processing, data storage and archiving of data challenges 
received from institutions for challenges of Gainful Employment (GE) 
metrics, Cohort Default Rates (institutional and programmatic), and 
Disclosure Rates and Metrics. This request is for a new collection for 
the first phase of DCAS, the institutional challenge to the GE 
completers list provided to institutions by the Department of 
Education. The other aspects of DCAS will be made functional and 
available to institutions in stages, to allow for full development and 
testing, through subsequent system releases.
    Additional Information: An emergency clearance approval for the use 
of the system is described below due to the following conditions:
     The Department's contracting process experienced a seven 
month setback when a contractor solicitation had to be cancelled and 
re-issued. In order to allow the challenge and appeal process to be 
implemented on time, the system must be able to accept challenges to 
the completer lists by November 9, 2015.
     The Department believes that students will be harmed if 
there is a delay in implementing the challenge process which will 
ultimately delay the issuance of final rates. The schedule is to have 
the final rates published and available to disclose to students by 
January 2017.
     Trends in graduates' earnings, student loan debt, 
defaults, and repayment underscore the need for the Department to act 
swiftly. The Gainful Employment accountability framework takes into 
consideration the relationship between total student loan debt and 
earnings after completion of a post-secondary program.
     The Gainful Employment regulation was issued after both 
negotiated rulemaking and notice-and-comment procedures. The full 
challenge and appeals process is already detailed at 34 CFR 668.405 and 
668.406. Burden calculations were likewise already promulgated. 
Stakeholders and other interested parties have already had significant 
opportunities to give input on the process.
