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: Higher Education
Act (HEA) Title II Report Cards on State
Teacher Credentialing and Preparation.
OMB Control Number: 1840–0744.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments; Private
Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,780.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 266,016.
Abstract: This request is to approve
extension of the state and institution
and program report cards required by
the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended in 2008 by the Higher
Education Opportunity Act (HEOA).
States must report annually on criteria
and assessments required for initial
teacher credentials using a State Report
Card (SRC), and institutions of higher
education (IHEs) with teacher
preparation programs (TPP), and TPPs
outside of IHEs, must report on key
program elements on an Institution and
Program Report Card (IPRC). IHEs and
TPPs outside of IHEs report annually to
their states on program elements,
including program numbers, type,
enrollment figures, demographics,
completion rates, goals and assurances
to the state. States, in turn, must report
on TPP elements to the Secretary of
Education in addition to information on
assessment pass rates, state standards,
initial credential types and
requirements, numbers of credentials
issued, TPP classification as at-risk or
low-performing. The information from
states, institutions, and programs is

Correction Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
On April 5, 2016 the U.S.
Department of Education published a
60-day comment period notice in the
Federal Register (Page 19586, Column 2
and 3; Page 19587, Column 1) seeking
public comment for an information
collection entitled, ‘‘NCES System
Clearance for Cognitive, Pilot, and Field
Test Studies.’’ The number of responses
and burden hours were incorrect. The
responses are 600,000 and the burden
hours are 240,000. The projected
increase in burden is due to an
increased projection of the need for
developmental studies related to plans
for beginning new studies and redesign
activities for existing studies, including
transitions to more online surveys and
assessments in the next three years.
The Acting Director, Information
Collection Clearance Division, Office of
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of
Management, hereby issues a correction
notice as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 9, 2014, President Obama
issued a Presidential Memorandum—
Establishing a Quadrennial Energy
Review. To accomplish this review, the
Presidential Memorandum establishes a
Quadrennial Energy Review Task Force
to be co-chaired by the Director of the
Office of Science and Technology
Policy, and the Director of the Domestic
Policy Council. Under the Presidential
Memorandum, the Secretary of Energy
shall provide support to the Task Force,
including support for coordination
activities related to the preparation of
the Quadrennial Energy Review (QER)
Report, policy analysis and modeling,
and stakeholder engagement.
The Quadrennial Energy Review
process itself involves robust
engagement of federal agencies and
outside stakeholders, and further
enables the federal government to
translate policy goals into a set of
analytically based, integrated actions for
proposed investments over a four year
planning horizon. Unlike traditional
federal Quadrennial Review processes,
the QER is conducted in a multi-year
installment series to allow for more
focused analysis on particular subsectors of the energy system. The initial
focus for the Quadrennial Energy
Review was our Nation’s transmission,
