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: Impact Study of
Federally-Funded Magnet Schools.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0943.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 706.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 629.
Abstract: The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) package requests
clearance for data collection activities to
support a rigorous Impact Study of
Federally-Funded Magnet Schools. The
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) at
the U.S. Department of Education (ED)
has contracted with Mathematica Policy
Research and its subcontractor, Social
Policy Research Associates (SPR), to
conduct this evaluation (ED–IES–17–C–
0066). The evaluation included an
initial feasibility assessment and
determined that a rigorous impact study
can be conducted.
The impact study would collect
survey data from principals and district
administrative records on admissions
lotteries and student progress. The
study would use these data to estimate
the impacts of magnet schools on
student achievement and diversity and
to describe whether particular features
of magnet schools are associated with
greater success. The study would also
collect survey data from charter schools
on their admissions practices to provide
context for the impact study findings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
DOE prepared the SSFL Area IV Final
EIS (DOE/EIS–0402) in accordance with
NEPA (42 U.S.C 4321 et seq.), Council
on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508),
and DOE’s NEPA Implementing
Procedures (10 CFR part 1021).1 DOE
announced its intent to prepare an EIS
on May 16, 2008, (73 FR 28437) and
conducted public scoping. DOE
prepared a Draft EIS and distributed it
to interested parties. Following the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
notice of availability of the SSFL Area
IV Draft EIS (82 FR 4336; January 13,
2017), DOE conducted public hearings
and invited comment on the Draft EIS.
After considering comments received on
the Draft EIS, DOE addressed the
comments and prepared a Final EIS that
was issued with EPA’s Notice of
1 The CEQ published on July 16, 2020 the ‘‘Final
Rule Update to the Regulations Implementing the
Procedural Provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act’’. The SSFL Area IV EIS
was started prior to September 14, 2020 (the
effective date for CEQ’s updated NEPA regulations).
DOE completed the EIS and is issuing this ROD
pursuant to DOE’s NEPA regulations and the 1978
CEQ regulations.

Availability (83 FR 67282; December 28,
2018). On September 27, 2019, DOE
announced its decision to demolish the
18 buildings it owns in Area IV of the
SSFL and to dispose of or recycle the
resulting building materials off-site (84
FR 51149; September 27, 2019).
The California Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC) is in the
process of completing its Program
Environmental Impact Report for the
Santa Susana Field Laboratory, Ventura
County, California (SSFL EIR), prepared
under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The DTSC SSFL
EIR also assesses proposed groundwater
remediation actions at SSFL. Should
DTSC—in its CEQA Findings of Fact
and/or Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) Statement of Basis
for groundwater cleanup—make a
decision inconsistent with the DOE
NEPA EIS and this ROD, DOE will
confer with DTSC and determine
whether modifications or additional
actions related to groundwater cleanup
in Area IV and the Northern Buffer Zone
(NBZ) are required.
SSFL, located on approximately 2,850
acres in the hills between Chatsworth
and Simi Valley, California, was
developed as a remote site to test rocket
engines and conduct nuclear research.
Rocket engine testing by North
American Aviation (later Rockwell
International [Rocketdyne]) began in
1947. In the mid-1950s, the Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC), a
predecessor agency to DOE, funded
nuclear research on a 90-acre parcel
within Area IV of SSFL. The Energy
Technology Engineering Center (ETEC)
was established on this parcel as a
‘‘center of excellence’’ for liquid metals
research. A total of 10 small reactors
were built and operated as part of
nuclear research that ended in 1982.
DOE-directed liquid metals research
continued until 1988.
DOE initiated the investigation of
groundwater at Area IV in 1986 when
the first monitoring well was installed.
Since that time DOE has installed more
than 130 monitoring wells to identify
the presence and type of groundwater
contamination. The investigation work
was summarized in the Final RCRA
Facility Groundwater Remedial
Investigation Report, Area IV (August
2019). The groundwater investigation
work involved the 14 solid waste
management units assigned to DOE in
the DTSC 2007 Consent Order for
Corrective Action (2007 CO) and areas
adjacent to these units including the
NBZ and the Brandeis property. The
investigation identified seven areas in
Area IV with differing groundwater
impact issues related to solvents,
