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: National
Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) 2018–2019.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0928.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 759,283.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 371,166.
Abstract: The National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP),
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), is a
federally authorized survey of student
achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in
various subject areas, such as
mathematics, reading, writing, science,
U.S. history, civics, geography,
economics, technology and engineering
literacy (TEL), and the arts. The
National Assessment of Educational
Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L.
107–279 Title III, section 303) requires
the assessment to collect data on
specified student groups and
characteristics, including information
organized by race/ethnicity, gender,
socio-economic status, disability, and
limited English proficiency. It requires
fair and accurate presentation of
achievement data and permits the
collection of background, noncognitive,
or descriptive information that is related
to academic achievement and aids in
fair reporting of results. The intent of
the law is to provide representative
sample data on student achievement for
the nation, the states, and
subpopulations of students and to
monitor progress over time. The nature
of NAEP is that burden alternates from
a relatively low burden in national-level
administration years to a substantial
burden increase in state-level
administration years when the sample
has to allow for estimates for individual
states and some of the large urban
districts. This submission requests
OMB’s approval for main NAEP
assessments in 2018 and 2019,

including operational, pilot, and special
studies. The NAEP results will be
reported to the public through the
Nation’s Report Card as well as other
online NAEP tools.

l. The existing project consists of: (1)
A 24-foot-high, 172-foot-long concrete
diversion dam with an integrated 98foot-long ungated, uncontrolled ogee
spillway section; (2) a 1-acre reservoir
that extends 550 feet upstream from the
dam with a gross storage capacity of 19
acre-feet at normal full pool elevation of
3,375 feet above sea level; (3) an 18-footwide intake structure at the north end
of the dam on the right bank with trash
rack; (4) a 15,894-foot-long flow
conveyance system (project waterway)
consisting of: A 273-foot-long concretelined canal fitted with a 25-foot-long,
9.75-foot-wide fish screen; a 66-inchdiameter, 5,448-foot-long woodstave
pipe; a 5,805-foot-long concrete-lined
canal; a 5-foot-wide, 6.5-foot-high, 698foot-long concrete-lined horseshoeshaped tunnel; a 416-foot-long canal to
the forebay with a 2,486-foot-long side
channel spillway discharging to Daniel

ladder function by constructing an
auxiliary bypass flow system, realigning
and extending the existing fish bypass
return pipe, and narrowing the weir
notches; replace the existing woodstave
pipe and inverted wooden siphon with
steel structures to eliminate leakage;
rehabilitate the temporary vehicleaccess bridge over the new steel pipe to
meet current Forest Service standards;
construct a road spur to facilitate passthrough of materials dredged from the
reservoir to the bypassed reach; upgrade
the six existing wildlife crossings of the
project waterway’s canal by widening
the crossings and constructing five new
wildlife crossings; and install a
communications link on the U.S.
Geological Survey’s South Fork Rogue
gage.
PacifiCorp also proposes to increase
the project’s minimum flow releases and
ramping rates limits, as well as
extending the project boundary to
include the inverted siphon and access
roads.

Village of North Bennington; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On February 28, 2017, the Village of
North Bennington, Vermont, filed an
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
feasibility of the Lake Paran Dam
Hydroelectric Project (Lake Paran
Project or project) to be located on Paran
Creek, near the Village of North
Bennington, in Bennington County,
Vermont. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform
any land-disturbing activities or
otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners’
express permission.
The proposed Lake Paran Project
would consist of: (1) The existing 120foot-long, 10-foot-concrete gravity Lake
Paran Dam and spillway; (2) an existing
35-acre impoundment with a normal
maximum water surface elevation
646.65 feet above mean sea level; (3) a
new intake structure; (4) a new 250-footlong, 36-inch diameter penstock; (5) a
new 20-foot-long, 10-foot-wide concrete

single 58-kilowatt turbine-generator
unit; (6) a new 1,000-foot-long, 12.47kilovolt transmission line; and (7)

inch-diameter, 887-foot-long wood-stave inverted siphon that routes
flow from the tailrace to the non-project Middle Fork Canal; (8) a
6.97-mile-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line interconnecting at the
Prospect Central substation; (9) an 86-foot-long, 15-pool concrete
pool-and-weir ladder to provide upstream fish passage past the dam; and
(10) appurtenant facilities. The project produces an average of 35.05
gigawatt-hours annually.
PacifiCorp proposes to: Improve fish ladder function by
constructing an auxiliary bypass flow system, realigning and extending
the existing fish bypass return pipe, and narrowing the weir notches;
replace the existing woodstave pipe and inverted wooden siphon with
steel structures to eliminate leakage; rehabilitate the temporary
vehicle-access bridge over the new steel pipe to meet current Forest
Service standards; construct a road spur to facilitate pass-through of
materials dredged from the reservoir to the bypassed reach; upgrade the
six existing wildlife crossings of the project waterway's canal by
widening the crossings and constructing five new wildlife crossings;
and install a communications link on the U.S. Geological Survey's South
Fork Rogue gage.
PacifiCorp also proposes to increase the project's minimum flow
releases and ramping rates limits, as well as extending the project
boundary to include the inverted siphon and access roads.
