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: 2016/20
Baccalaureate and Beyond (B&B:16/20)
Full-Scale Study.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0926.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 34,682.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 10,435.
Abstract: The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) conducts
the Baccalaureate and Beyond (B&B)
studies. The B&B studies of the
education, work, financial, and personal
experiences of individuals who have
completed a bachelor’s degree at a given
point in time are a series of longitudinal
studies. Every 8 years, students are
identified as bachelor’s degree
recipients through the National
Postsecondary Student Aid Study
(NPSAS). B&B:16/20 is the second
follow-up of a panel of baccalaureate
degree recipients identified in the 2015–
16 NPSAS, and part of the fourth cohort
(B&B:16) of the B&B series. NPSAS:16 is
the base year for B&B:16 follow-up
interviews in 2017, 2020, and 2026
(anticipated). B&B cohorts prior to
B&B:16 were approved under OMB#
1850–0729. The B&B:16 cohort is
submitted and reviewed under OMB#
1850–0926. The primary purposes of the
B&B studies are to describe the postbaccalaureate paths of new college
graduates, with a focus on their
experiences in the labor market and
post-baccalaureate education, and their
education-related debt. B&B also focuses
on the continuing education paths of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) graduates, as well
as the experiences of those who have
begun careers in education of students
through the 12th grade. Since
graduating from college in 2014–15 for
the field test, and 2015–16 for the fullscale study, members of this B&B:16
cohort will begin moving into and out
of the workforce, enrolling in additional
undergraduate and graduate education,
forming families, and repaying
undergraduate education-related debt.
Documenting these choices and
pathways, along with individual,
institutional, and employment
characteristics that may be related to
those choices, provides critical
information on the costs and benefits of
a bachelor’s degree in today’s workforce.
B&B studies include both traditional-age
and non-traditional-age college
graduates, whose education options and
choices often diverge considerably, and
allow study of the paths taken by these
different graduates. B&B:16/20 panel
maintenance activities were cleared in
July 2019 and are currently scheduled to
continue through February 2020. This
request is for the full-scale study
student interview data collection
scheduled to take place from July 2020
through March 2021.
Dated: March 2, 2020.

Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP20–47–000]
PennEast Pipeline Company, LLC;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Penneast 2020 Amendment
Project and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the PennEast 2020 Amendment Project
involving the construction and
operation of facilities by PennEast
Pipeline Company, LLC (PennEast). The
EA will discuss facilities to be built in
Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
The Commission will use this EA in its
decision-making process to determine
whether the project is in the public
convenience and necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies about issues
regarding the project. The National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
requires the Commission to take into
account the environmental impacts that
could result from its action whenever it
considers the issuance of a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity.
NEPA also requires the Commission to
discover concerns the public may have
about proposals. This process is referred
to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis
in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the
Commission requests public comments
on the scope of the issues to address in
the EA. To ensure that your comments
are timely and properly recorded, please
submit your comments so that the
Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on March 30, 2020.
You can make a difference by
submitting your specific comments or
concerns regarding 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 EA. Commission staff
will consider all filed comments during
the preparation of the EA.
If you sent comments on this project
to the Commission before the opening of
this docket on January 30, 2020, you
will need to file those comments in
Docket No. CP20–47–000 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
proposed 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
proposed facilities. The company would
seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
easement agreement. You are not
required to enter into an agreement.
However, if the Commission approves
the project, that approval conveys with
it the right of eminent domain.
Therefore, if you and the company do
not reach an easement agreement, the
pipeline company could initiate
condemnation proceedings in court. In
such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance
with state law.
