General questions about the study may
be directed to Nan Bischoff, Project
Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
St. Paul District, 180 Fifth Street East,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps
operates USAF Lock and Dam, located
on the Mississippi River in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. Section 2010
of Water Resources Reform and
Redevelopment Act of 2014, Public Law
113–121, directed the Corps to close the
lock to navigation operations but to
continue to carry out emergency lock
operations necessary to mitigate flood
damages. Navigation at the lock ceased
on June 9th, 2015. Prior to the closure
of USAF, the lock operated as part of a
system to support navigation on the
upper reaches of the Mississippi River
9-foot navigation channel.
Section 216 of the Flood Control Act
of 1970 authorizes the Secretary of the
Army to review operations of completed
projects, when found advisable due to
changed physical, economic, or
environmental conditions. Disposition
studies are a specific type of Section 216
study with the intent to determine
whether a water resources development
project operated and maintained by the
Corps of Engineers should be deauthorized and the associated real
property and Government-owned
improvements disposed of.
The USAF Disposition Study analyzes
three primary alternatives at the USAF
site: (1) No action; (2) complete deauthorization by Congress of the Federal
missions at the site and disposal of the
properties according to Federal law; and
(3) partial de-authorization and
disposal. The partial disposition
alternative will maintain the emergency
flood mitigation capability of the
structure. If the Corps of Engineers
determines that Federal interest no
longer exists, it must consider, and may
recommend, disposal of the project or
separable elements of the project under
existing authorities.
The Disposition Study ends when the
final report is approved by the Corps of
Engineers’ Headquarters Office.

Deauthorization would require
Congressional Approval.
Results of the study are summarized
in the draft DR/EA, which includes an
analysis of potential environmental
effects and concludes the action would
not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment. In accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Corps is making
the draft DR/EA available for public
comments and will be holding one or
more virtual public meetings
summarizing the report prior to the
comment deadline via Facebook Live or
similar web-based platform. Additional
details on these meeting(s) will be
posted at least two weeks beforehand on
the Saint Paul District’s website: https://
www.mvp.usace.army.mil/.
Authority: The District publishes this
notice congruent with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and
its implementing regulations (40 CFR parts
1500–1508).

Sunshine Act Meetings
TIME AND DATE:

This meeting will be held via
teleconference.
PLACE:
Closed. The Board invoked the
exemption described in 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(2) and 10 CFR 1704.4(b). The
Board determined that it is necessary to
close this meeting to the public since an
open meeting would likely disclose
information related solely to the internal
personnel rules and practices of the
agency.
STATUS:
At this
meeting, members of the Board will
receive a staff briefing and deliberate on
appropriate agency reorganization to
accommodate the Executive Director of
Operations position.

Title of Collection: Comprehensive

Comprehensive Literacy State

Evaluation
OMB Control Number: 1850–0945
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved collection

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The data collection
described in this submission includes
activities for the legislatively mandated
evaluation of the Comprehensive
Literacy State Development (CLSD)
Program. The evaluation will provide
information on the implementation of
the program and its impact on student
reading achievement. The CLSD
evaluation is the second component of
an evaluation of the U.S. Department of
Education’s comprehensive literacy
programs. An earlier clearance package
(OMB control number 1850–0945)
covered the first component of the
evaluation—an implementation study of
the Striving Readers Comprehensive
Literacy Program (the precursor program
to CLSD). The CLSD evaluation will
include an examination of
implementation, a randomized trial to
estimate the impact of CLSD funding on
teacher and student outcomes, and a
longitudinal comparison of trends in
achievement in CLSD and similar, nonCLSD schools. This package requests
clearance for data collection associated
with the implementation analyses, the
randomized trial, and initial data
collection for the comparisons of
longitudinal trends. A separate package
will be submitted at a later date for all
remaining data collection activities for
the comparisons of longitudinal trends,
which will take place following the
2023–24 school year.

Title of Collection: Implementation of
Key Federal Policies in the Wake of the

collection.

Abstract: The coronavirus pandemic
significantly disrupted K–12
educational operations and learning in
spring 2020 and is likely to do so again
during the 2020–21 school year. Federal
education policies and funding are
intended to support state and local
agencies as they respond to the crisis.
But the crisis may also shape the way
federal programs are carried out. The
U.S. Department of Education (the
Department), through its Institute for
Education Sciences (IES), is requesting
clearance for a new data collection to
examine how the pandemic may be
influencing: (1) Implementation of, and
waivers, from key provisions of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act, reauthorized as the Every Student
Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), and (2)
state and district use of federal funds,
including those provided specifically to
help in the pandemic recovery, and (3)
supports for English learners (ELs) in
districts with high EL enrollments. The
surveys of all state education agencies
and a nationally representative sample
of school districts is being conducted as
part of an ongoing evaluation of Titles
I and IIA of ESSA. Interviews of district
and school personnel in high-EL
districts are being conducted as part of
an ongoing evaluation of Title III of
ESSA.
