anchored vessels regularly swing out
into the navigation channel. Vessels are
currently forced to wait outside the
harbor in the ocean due to a lack of
anchorage availability and/or anchorage
areas designed for larger vessels.
The Corps is the lead federal agency
and the Port Authority of New York and
New Jersey will be the non-federal
sponsor for the study. The GRR will
address the primary problem of the New
York and New Jersey Harbor
Anchorages by studying all reasonable
alternatives and determine the Federal
interest in cost-sharing for those
alternatives. A TSP has been identified
which involves the modification of a
single anchorage at Gravesend Bay,
increasing its size to 3,600 feet and 50
feet in depth from its present
dimensions.
As required by Council on
Environmental Quality’s Principles,
Requirements and Guidelines for Water
and Land Related Resources
Implementation Studies all reasonable
alternatives to the proposed Federal
action that meet the purpose and need
will be considered in the EA. These
alternatives will include no action and
a range of reasonable alternatives for
improving navigation in the New York
& New Jersey Harbor Anchorages.
Scoping/Public Involvement. A public
NEPA scoping meeting was held on
November 8, 2018, from 5 p.m.–8 p.m.
It was held at the GSA Building,
conference rooms 1–3 on the 30th floor,
at 290 Broadway, New York, NY 10007.
Federal, state, and local agencies, Indian
tribes, and the public were invited to
provide scoping comments to identify
issues and potentially significant effects
to be considered in the analysis.
Comments on the proposed project can
still be accepted until the end of the 30day public coordination period, which
is expected to occur later in 2020. The
draft GRR/EA will be made available for
a 30-day public comment period that
will be scheduled for later in 2019.

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

Title of Collection: National
Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) 2019 and 2020 Long-Term
Trend (LTT) Update.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0928.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 642,087.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 322,765.
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
E:\FR\FM\21MYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 98 / Tuesday, May 21, 2019 / Notices
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. The request to conduct NAEP
2019 and 2020 was approved in
September 2018 with the latest change
request approved in February 2019
(OMB #1850–0928 v.10–13). NAEP 2019
is currently underway. This request,
which was approved in April 2019
(OMB #1850–0928 v.14) under the 44
U.S.C. 3507(j)(1) (‘‘emergency
clearance’’), is to update the approved
NAEP 2020 plan with: (1) The
cancellation of all of the NAEP pilot and
special studies originally planned for
the 2019–20 school year (NAEP 2020),
and (2) based on a Congressional
request, the administration of Long
Term Trend (LTT) assessment during
the 2019–20 school year. The LTT
assessments are based on nationally
representative samples of 9-, 13-, and
17-year olds, and have been used by
NAEP since the early 1970s to provide
measures of students’ educational
progress over long time periods to allow
for analyses of national trends in
students’ performance in mathematics
and reading.

Title of Collection: High School and

Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 53,503.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 35,635.
Abstract: The High School and
Beyond 2020 study (HS&B:20) will be
the sixth in a series of longitudinal
studies at the high school level
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of
the U.S. Department of Education.
HS&B:20 will follow a nationallyrepresentative sample of ninth grade
students from the start of high school in
the fall of 2020 to the spring of 2024
when most will be in twelfth grade. The
study sample will be freshened in 2024
to create a nationally representative
sample of twelfth-graders. A high school
transcript collection and additional
follow-up data collections beyond high
school are also planned. The NCES
secondary longitudinal studies examine
issues such as students’ readiness for
high school; the risk factors associated
with dropping out of high school; high
school completion; the transition into
postsecondary education and access/
choice of institution; the shift from
school to work; and the pipeline into
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM). They inform
education policy by tracking long-term
trends and elucidating relationships
among student, family, and school
characteristics and experiences.
HS&B:20 will follow the Middle Grades
Longitudinal Study of 2017/18
(MGLS:2017) which followed the Early
Childhood Longitudinal Study,
Kindergarten Class of 2010–11 (ECLS–
K:2011), thereby allowing for the study
of all transitions from elementary school
through high school and into higher
education and/or the workforce.
HS&B:20 will include surveys of
students, parents, students’ math
teachers, counselors, and
administrators, plus a student
assessment in mathematics and reading
and a brief hearing and vision test. In
preparation for the HS&B:20 base-year
full scale study, scheduled to take place
in the fall of 2020, this request is to
conduct the HS&B:20 base year field test
data collection and the base year full
scale sampling and state, school district,
