Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2019 / Notices
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES
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: GEPA Section 427
Guidance for All Grant Applications.
OMB Control Number: 1894–0005.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 13,497.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 20,219.
Abstract: On October 20, 1994, the
Improving America’s Schools Act,
Public Law 103–382 (The Act), became
law. The Act added a provision to the
General Education Provisions Act
(GEPA). Section 427 of GEPA requires
an applicant for assistance under
Department programs to develop and
describe in the grant application the
steps it proposes to take to ensure
equitable access to, and equitable
participation in, its proposed project for
students, teachers, and other program
beneficiaries with special needs. The
current GEPA Section 427 guidance for
discretionary grant applications and
formula grant applications has approval
through April 30, 2020. The Department
is requesting an extension of this
approval.

that it is wholly-owned by Pieridae

states that, on or about October 16,
2019, Pieridae completed an equity
offering. Pieridae’s shares became listed
on the TSX (Venture) Exchange on or
about October 24, 2019.
As a consequence of the offering,
Pieridae US states that: (i) Erikson
National Energy Inc., a Canadian
corporation, acquired beneficial
ownership representing approximately
14.7% or more of Pieridae’s issued and
outstanding common shares; and (ii)

DOE/FE Evaluation
DOE/FE will review Pieridae US’s
Notice in accordance with its
Procedures for Changes in Control
Affecting Applications and
Authorizations to Import or Export
Natural Gas (CIC Procedures).2
Consistent with the CIC Procedures, this
notice addresses only Pieridae US’s
final authorization to export liquefied
natural gas (LNG) to non-free trade
agreement (non-FTA) countries, granted
in DOE/FE Order No. 3768 (FE Docket
No. 14–179–LNG). If no interested
person protests the change in control
and DOE takes no action on its own
motion, the proposed change in control
will be deemed granted 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. If
one or more protests are submitted, DOE
will review any motions to intervene,
protests, and answers, and will issue a
determination as to whether the
proposed change in control has been
demonstrated to render the underlying
authorization inconsistent with the
public interest.
1 Pieridae US is advised that its described change
in control may also require the approval of the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
States (CFIUS). DOE expresses no opinion regarding
the need for review by CFIUS. Additional
information may be obtained at: https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is issuing this Record of
Decision (ROD) for the long-term
management and storage of elemental
mercury to meet the federal
government’s statutory responsibility for
long-term storage of the elemental
mercury generated within the United
States. This ROD is issued for the Final
Long-Term Management and Storage of
Elemental Mercury Environmental
Impact Statement (DOE/EIS–0423; Final
Elemental Mercury Storage EIS) and the
Final Long-Term Management and
Storage of Elemental Mercury
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (DOE/EIS–0423–S1; Final
SEIS). In 2019 DOE prepared a
Supplement Analysis of the Final LongTerm Management and Storage of
Elemental Mercury Environmental
Impact Statement (DOE/EIS–0423–SA–
01) to determine if there have been
substantial changes to the proposal or if
there are significant new circumstances
or information relevant to
environmental concerns as compared
with those presented in the Final
Elemental Mercury Storage EIS and
Final SEIS. This ROD announces the
DOE decision to store up to 6,800 metric
tons (7,480 tons) of elemental mercury
in existing buildings at Waste Control
Specialists near Andrews, Texas.

Decision, the Supplement Analysis, the
Long-Term Management and Storage of

Background
Pursuant to Section 5 of the Mercury
Export Ban Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–
414; MEBA), as amended by the Frank
R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the
21st Century Act, (Pub. L. 114–182)
(herein referred to as MEBA), the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) was
directed to designate a facility or
facilities for the long-term management
and storage of elemental mercury
generated within the United States.
On July 2, 2009, DOE issued a Notice
of Intent in the Federal Register (74 FR
31723) to prepare a draft environmental
impact statement for elemental mercury
storage. This notice invited the public to
participate in the public scoping process
on the proposed management and
storage alternatives for analysis in the
draft EIS and included information on
public scoping meeting dates and
locations.
On January 29, 2010, DOE issued a
Notice of Availability in the Federal
Register (75 FR 4801) to notify the
public of the issuance of the Draft LongTerm Management and Storage of
Elemental Mercury Environmental
Impact Statement (DOE/EIS–0423–D;
Draft Elemental Mercury Storage EIS)
for public comment and announce
public hearings. The Draft Elemental
Mercury Storage EIS analyzed the
storage of up to 10,000 metric tons
(11,000 tons) of elemental mercury in a
facility or facilities constructed and
operated in accordance with the Solid
Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (74 FR 31723). DOE evaluated seven
government and commercial sites as the
range of reasonable alternatives in the
Draft Elemental Mercury Storage EIS. In
the Draft Elemental Mercury Storage
EIS, DOE identified the Waste Control
Specialists (WCS) facility as its
preferred alternative.
On January 28, 2011, DOE issued a
Notice of Availability in the Federal
