Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 195 / Friday, October 7, 2016 / Notices
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: State Longitudinal
Data System (SLDS) Survey 2017–2019.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 56.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 112.
Abstract: As authorized by the
Educational Technical Assistance Act of
2002, Title II, the Statewide
Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) Grant
Program has awarded competitive,
cooperative agreement grants to states
since 2005. Through grants and a
growing range of services and resources,
the program has helped propel the
successful design, development,
implementation, and expansion of K12
and P–20W (early learning through the
workforce) longitudinal data systems.
These systems are intended to enhance
the ability of States to efficiently and
accurately manage, analyze, and use
education data, including individual
student records. The SLDSs should help
states, districts, schools, educators, and
other stakeholders to make datainformed decisions to improve student
learning and outcomes; as well as to
facilitate research to increase student
achievement and close achievement

gaps. The SLDS grants extend for three
to five years for up to twenty million
dollars per grantee, and grantees are
obligated to submit annual reports and
a final report on the development and
implementation of their systems. All 50
states, five territories, and the District of
Columbia are eligible to apply, and each
state can apply multiple times to
develop different aspects of their data
system. Since November 2005, 97 grants
have been awarded. In addition to the
grants, the program offers many services
and resources to assist education
agencies with SLDS-related work. Best
practices, lessons learned, and nonproprietary products/solutions
developed by recipients of these grants
and other states are disseminated to aid
all state and local education agencies.
This request is to formalize the annual
SLDS Interim Progress Report (IPR) as
the SLDS Survey, intended to provide
insight on state and U.S. territory SLDS
capacity for automated linking of K–12,
teacher, postsecondary, workforce,
career and technical education (CTE),
adult education, and early childhood
data. The SLDS Survey will help inform
ongoing evaluation and targeted
technical assistance efforts to enhance
the quality of the SLDS Program’s
support to states. This submission is to
conduct the annual SLDS Survey from
2017 through 2019.

National Fuel proposes to abandon
facilities in its East Branch Storage

that the proposed abandonment will not
result in a material decrease in service
to customers.
Any questions regarding this
Application should be directed to Laura
P. Berloth, Attorney for National Fuel,

Driftwood LNG, LLC and Driftwood
LNG Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of
Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Planned
Driftwood LNG Project, Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues,
and Notice of Public Scoping Sessions
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) will prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
that will discuss the environmental
impacts of the Driftwood LNG Project
involving construction and operation of
facilities by Driftwood LNG, LLC and
Driftwood LNG Pipeline Company, LLC
(collectively referred to as ‘‘DWLNG’’)
in Calcasieu, Jefferson Davis, Acadia,
and Evangeline Parishes, Louisiana. The
Commission will use this EIS in its
decision-making process to determine
whether the planned project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies on the project.
You can make a difference by providing
us with your specific comments or
concerns about the project. Your
comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. Your
input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to
evaluate in the EIS. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send your comments so
that the Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before November
4, 2016.
If you sent comments on this project
to the Commission before the opening of
this docket on June 6, 2016, you will
need to file those comments in Docket
No. PF16–6–000 to ensure they are
considered as part of this proceeding.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and
local government representatives should
notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment
on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this
notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about
the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the
planned facilities. The company would
seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the project, that approval
conveys with it the right of eminent
domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an
agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings
where compensation would be
determined in accordance with state
law.
