Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Designated Federal Officer and the Department of Defense, the Defense Science Board (DSB) was unable to provide the 15-calendar day public notification of subcommittee meetings of the 2016 DSB Summer Study Task Force on Capabilities for Constrained Military Operations scheduled for August 15 through August 19, 2016; August 22 through August 24, 2016; August 25, 2016; and August 26, 2016, at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center, 100 Academy Drive, Irvine, California. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(b), waives the 15calendar day notification requirement for each meeting—August 15 through August 19, 2016; August 22 through August 24, 2016; August 25, 2016; and August 26, 2016. The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. The objective of the 2016 Summer Study on Capabilities for Constrained Military Operations is to assess the military planning, shaping, and operational activities that address potential threats to U.S. interests and strive to establish stability in critical regions of the world that do not rise to the level of full-scale military operations. Areas of consideration will include an assessment of current planning processes within Department of Defense (DoD) Policy, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Combatant Commands, and the Intelligence Community with a focus on the period before significant hostilities begin. In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102–2.155, the DoD has determined that the DSB meetings will be closed to the public. Specifically, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics), in consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in writing that all sessions will be closed to the public because matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) will be considered. The determination is based on the consideration that it is expected that discussions throughout will involve classified matters of VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 Aug 19, 2016 Jkt 238001 national security concern. Such classified material is so intertwined with the unclassified material and nonproprietary information that it cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of the overall meetings. To permit the meetings to be open to the public would preclude discussion of such matters and would greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the DSB’s findings or recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. In accordance with section 10(a)(3) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140, interested persons may submit a written statement for consideration by the Defense Science Board at any time regarding its mission or in response to the stated agenda of a planned meetings. Individuals submitting a written statement may submit their statement to the Designated Federal Official at the address detailed in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT; at any point, however, if a written statement is not received by August 24, 2016, then it may not be provided to or considered by the Defense Science Board. The Designated Federal Official will review all submissions with the Defense Science Board Chairperson, and ensure they are provided to members of the Defense Science Board before its final deliberations on August 26, 2016.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 672. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 36,960. Abstract: The Guaranty Agency financial Reports is used by a guaranty agency to request payments of reinsurance for defaulted student loans; make payments for amounts due the Department, for collections on default and lender of last resort loan (default) claims on which reinsurance has been paid and for refunding amounts previously paid for reinsurance claims. The form is also used to determine required reserve levels for agencies and to collect debt information as required for the ‘‘Report on Accounts and Loans Receivable Due from the Public,’’ SF 220–9 (Schedule 9 Report) as required by the U.S. Department of Treasury. Purpose of Program grants for Feasibility Studies.1 The Feasibility Studies will determine if PFS is a viable and appropriate strategy to implement preschool programs that are high-quality and yield meaningful results. The Department, in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), developed the Preschool PFS Feasibility Pilot. The ultimate aim of the Preschool PFS Feasibility Pilot is to improve early learning outcomes through a HighQuality Pay for Success Project by providing grants for Feasibility Studies. This pilot does not limit feasibility studies to programs that meet the definition of ‘‘high-quality’’ preschool used by the Preschool Development Grants program in its 2014 grant competition in order to allow the PFS demonstrations to demonstrate highquality in different ways, including through the impacts that the pilots are able to achieve. In this way, such projects could further develop the evidence-base of programs that are demonstrated to be effective.2 However, the Preschool PFS Feasibility Pilot does not fund the implementation of preschool services. These Feasibility Studies will test the viability of PFS for preschool models designed to effectively serve the Target Population, and identify a broad range of potential Outcome Measures designed to both demonstrate improved student outcomes and result in potential cost savings to school districts, Local Governments, and States, as well as provide more general benefits to society. In awarding Preschool PFS Feasibility Pilot grants, the Department will only support Feasibility Studies that propose to identify rigorous safeguards to protect the interests of students and their families. This includes not creating incentives for reducing special education referrals or placement when Children with Disabilities need these services and related services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq., in order to be successful. Such incentives would contravene the IDEA requirements that States and school districts have policies and procedures in effect to locate, identify, and evaluate children suspected of having disabilities and who are in need of special education and related services and to ensure that a free appropriate public education (FAPE) is made available to eligible children, 20 U.S.C. 1412(a)(3) (Child Find) and 20 U.S.C. 1412 (a)(1) The purpose of this Preschool Pay For Success (PFS) Feasibility Pilot is to encourage State and local PFS activity for preschool programs by providing 1 Defined terms are used throughout the document and are indicated by capitalization. 2 As published in the Federal Register on August 18, 2014 (79 FR 48853 and 79 FR 48873).

Possible safeguards should include: Procedures to ensure that the determination of a child’s eligibility for special education and related services under the IDEA is completely separated from the financial structure of the project; evaluation methods that mitigate the risk of incentives to exclude or prematurely exit children from needed services and support; stakeholder involvement with groups or families who represent students with disabilities in developing and evaluating the project; inclusion of longer-term impacts, such as third grade reading achievement, on both treatment and control groups; and may include other strategies. The Department is interested in proposals for possible outcome measures that reflect improved outcomes for students with disabilities while protecting their rights under IDEA. The Department plans to make publicly available the completed Feasibility Studies and related reports in order to make tools and models available to the public, facilitate knowledge-sharing, and lessen the burden of future feasibility assessments in communities. Further, if the Feasibility Studies conclude that PFS is viable, it is the intent of the Department for grantees to use the Feasibility Studies, after the grant period, to develop a PFS project to improve early learning outcomes. Background on the Pay For Success Model Under this program, the Department will award grants to States, Local Governments, and Tribal Governments to conduct Preschool PFS Feasibility Pilots. PFS includes innovative contracting and financing models that seek to test and advance promising and proven interventions, while paying only for successful impacts and outcomes for families, individuals, and communities. Through a PFS project, a government (or other) entity enters into a contract to pay for the achievement of concrete, measurable outcomes for specific people or communities. Service providers deliver interventions to achieve these outcomes. Payments, known as Outcomes Payments, are made only if the interventions achieve those outcomes agreed upon in advance. In many cases, these outcomes are expected to occur over a period of years, meaning that the service providers need outside funding in order to cover their operating costs. In these cases, PFS financing is used by bringing in Investors, which are recruited typically by an Intermediary contracted by the government. The government or other E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM 22AUN1
