Download as PDF jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 219 / Friday, November 13, 2015 / Notices The Health Artifact and Image Management Solution (HAIMS) will provide the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs health care providers with global visibility and access to artifacts (documents) and images generated during the health care delivery process. HAIMS, a Wounded Warrior strategic project, will provide a single enterprise-wide data sharing capability for all types of artifacts and images (also known as A&I), including radiographs, clinical photographs, electrocardiographs, waveforms, audio files, video and scanned documents. HAIMS will provide an enterprise solution utilizing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based application with a federated infrastructure. The required solution to satisfy the scope of HAIMS will consist of industry standard COTS, as well as government off the shelf (GOTS). The expected business outcomes have been defined and constraints/dependencies have been identified in satisfying the functional, technical and system requirements to develop, field and support HAIMS throughout the life cycle. HAIMS interfaces with external repositories to register and access patient A&I. Patient demographic information from the Clinical Data Repository (CDR) is used to associate A&I with the patient. Another method of collecting data is through bulk scanning of patient artifacts into HAIMS. The user will first select the patient for which the artifact is associated with, and then enters in relevant metadata of the artifacts. The information in HAIMS is sensitive; therefore, it contains built-in safeguards to limit access and visibility of this information. HAIMS uses rolebased security so a user sees only the information for which permission has been granted. It uses encryption security for transactions. It is DIACAP certified having been subjected to and passed thorough security testing and evaluation by independent parties. It meets safeguards specified by the Privacy Act of 1974 in that it maintains a published Department of Defense (DoD) Privacy Impact Assessment and System of Record covering Active Duty Military, Reserve, National Guard, and government civilian employees, to include non-appropriated fund employees and foreign nationals, DoD contractors, and volunteers. HAIMS servers are hosted at Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) and physically secured by the Services and within the MHS enclave, Enterprise Infrastructure maintains information security.

DOE estimates that there is a potential for 12 gigawatts of new hydropower capacity in the U.S. by adding power at non-powered dams.1 Adding power at USACE non-powered dams requires federal authorizations, potentially including authorizations via: The FERC licensing process 2, the USACE 408 process 3, and the USACE regulatory 404 process 4 (impacts to waters of the U.S. pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act). All three of these processes require project proposal identification, information gathering, and environmental and engineering analyses to support licensing, permitting, or agency decisions. DATES: The meeting will be held on Thursday, December 10th, 2015, from 1:00–5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE with the assistance of Oak Ridge National Laboratory convened a collaborative process with FERC and USACE staff to develop ideas on how FERC and USACE permitting efforts can be more efficiently coordinated to decrease overall process time and avoid duplication of efforts. The focus of the public meeting will be for agencies to receive public input, questions, and recommendations for areas of potential improvement in the coordination of FERC and USACE regulatory processes regarding nonfederal development of hydropower at USACE non-powered dams and provide a forum to exchange information. Attendees will be asked to provide these recommendations and information based on their personal experience, This notice announces a meeting to obtain individual public input on new ideas developed collaboratively by the Department of Energy (DOE), Federal Energy 1 National Hydropower Asset Assessment Program, Non-Powered Dam Resource Assessment can be found at https://nhaap.ornl.gov/content/nonpowered-dam-potential. 2 18 U.S.C. 4, 5, and 16. 3 Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 408). 4 Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).

Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education (Department) is required by regulation to develop an earnings survey to support gainful employment (GE) program evaluations. The regulations specify that the Secretary of Education will publish in the Federal Register the survey and the standards required for its administration. NCES has developed the Recent Graduates Employment and Earnings Survey (RGEES) Standards and Survey Form. The RGEES can be used in a debt-to-earnings (D/E) ratio appeal under the GE regulations as an alternative to the Social Security administration earnings data. Institutions that choose to submit alternate earnings appeal information will survey all Title IV funded students who graduated from GE programs during the same period that the Department used to calculate the D/E ratios, or a comparable period as defined in 668.406(b)(3) of the regulations. The survey will provide an additional source of earnings data for the Department to consider before determining final D/E ratios for programs subject to the gainful employment regulations. Programs with final D/E ratios that fail to meet the minimum threshold may face sanctions, including the possible loss of Title IV federal student financial aid program funds.
