Title of Collection: Impact Evaluation to Inform the Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program. OMB Control Number: 1850–0950. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,995. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 853. Abstract: Congress mandated that IES conduct an independent evaluation of the Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL), which supports a variety of strategies aimed at improving the quality of teaching and attracting and retaining effective educators. In response to the legislative mandate to evaluate the TSL program, the first evaluation component addresses the need to understand the characteristics of districts that received TSL grants and the key strategies they are using to improve educator effectiveness and student achievement. The focus of the second evaluation component arises from a need to assess effectiveness, focusing on a single, common strategy of designating teacher leaders to provide coaching to other teachers. This strategy of focusing on a single, common strategy of grantees is part of an evidence-building strategy for the program that complements evidence E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2023 / Notices on other aspects of the grant that have been previously evaluated. More research is needed to provide guidance on whether this teacher leader strategy improves teacher effectiveness and student achievement. The second component of the evaluation uses a random assignment design to study the impacts (and implementation and costeffectiveness) of the teacher leader role in non-TSL districts.

ACTION: Notice of intent to terminate the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA). AGENCY: This notice advises the public that BPA is terminating the preparation of the Klickitat Hatchery Upgrades EIS and instead will prepare an EA. This EIS would have considered BPA’s decision whether to fund the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation’s (Yakama Nation) proposal to upgrade facilities at the Klickitat Hatchery to facilitate a possible increase in production of spring Chinook salmon in the Klickitat River Basin. The change in National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis is due to a refinement of project scope and design that would minimize resource effects and extensive agency coordination that has shown existing permits are sufficient to address the proposed changes. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carolyn Sharp, Environmental Protection Specialist, Bonneville Power Administration—ECF–4, P.O. Box 3621, Portland, Oregon 97208–3621; toll-free telephone 1–800–622–4519; direct telephone 503–230–5206; or email ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Feb 23, 2023 Jkt 259001 casharp@bpa.gov or Mary Todd Haight, Project Manager, Bonneville Power Administration—EWM–4, P.O. Box 3621, Portland, Oregon, 97208–3621; toll-free telephone number 1–800–622– 4519; email mthaight@bpa.gov. Additional information can be found at the project website: www.bpa.gov/nepa/ klickitat-hatchery-upgrades. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent (NOI) was published in the Federal Register on October 6, 2017 (82 FR 46804), to begin preparing an EIS for the Klickitat Hatchery Upgrades. The facility improvements would allow the Yakama Nation to increase spring Chinook production from 600,000 to 800,000 smolts, and move from a segregated to an integrated spring Chinook production program. Other cost-dependent options include additional on-site housing for hatchery facility staff and upgrades to the hatchery administrative building. At the time of issuance, the 2017 NOI identified the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) as a cooperating agency for the project. Since then, NMFS has determined their Mitchell Act Record of Decision (ROD) and Biological Opinion (BO) adequately cover their NEPA and Endangered Species Act (ESA) obligations for increased operations and maintenance funding for the increase in spring Chinook production and integrated programming at the Klickitat Hatchery. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) had also elected to be a cooperating agency based on an assumption that the proposed project would be determined to be a new source under 40 CFR 122.2 and 122.29. After reviewing more fully developed project designs, USEPA was able to determine that the proposed action would no longer meet the definition of a new source under 40 CFR 122.29, and USEPA thereby rescinded their status as cooperating agency on June 2, 2022. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also issued a determination on August 5, 2022, that no permit would be required under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. These efforts to minimize resource effects and coordination with permitting agencies to confirm that existing permits would address the proposed changes have allowed BPA to determine that an EA and FONSI are more appropriate for this project. BPA will complete an EA, consistent with NEPA and the Council on Environmental Quality’s and the Department of Energy’s NEPA implementing regulations to decide whether to fund the proposed action. The document will be used by BPA as PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11905 the funding entity, Yakama Nation as operator of the facility that is located on the Yakama Nation Reservation, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife as current landowner and comanager of the fishery resources in the Klickitat River basin for their respective environmental compliance needs. The proposal would include funding capital improvements at the Klickitat Hatchery that would enable the Yakama Nation to implement a multi-year transition from a segregated production program of 600,000 spring Chinook smolts to an integrated spring Chinook production program totaling 800,000 smolts. All fish production (spring and fall Chinook and coho salmon) operations and facility maintenance at the hatchery has been funded through NMFS under the Mitchell Act since the hatchery was built in 1954. BPA is not proposing to fund fish production or to assume responsibility for any Mitchell Act funding for the Klickitat Hatchery. BPA funds would be limited to the proposed capital improvements to support spring Chinook production. To facilitate this transition, capital improvements to the existing Klickitat Hatchery facility would include: • Upgraded water supply and discharge systems • Rehabilitation and consolidation of spring water intake and pipeline • Rehabilitation of river water intake pumps and filtration system • Replacement of the existing pollution abatement settling pond with a new in-line system • Updates to the existing fish ladder • New adult holding raceways and spawning infrastructure • Installation of a new circular tank aquaculture system to support spring Chinook integrated programming • Addition of a chemical storage building • Upgrades to the hatchery security and alarm systems Optional, cost-dependent upgrades include: • Updates to the existing hatchery administrative space • Construction of two on-site residences for hatchery staff • Installation of predator control netting over the spring Chinook raceways For the reasons previously explained in this notice, the EIS is being terminated in accordance with 40 CFR 1506.6 and 40 CFR 1506.10. Signing Authority: This document of the Department of Energy was signed on February 9, 2023 by John Hairston, Administrator and Chief Executive Officer of the Bonneville Power Administration, pursuant to delegated E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1
