damaging releases to the Caloosahatchee
and St. Lucie estuaries; and improve
system-wide operational flexibility.
Alternatives: The study will identify,
evaluate, and recommend to decision
makers an appropriate and coordinated
solution for additional above ground
storage of 200,000 acre-feet to capture
water from the Kissimmee River prior to
it flowing into Lake Okeechobee, to pull
water in from Lake Okeechobee during
high water levels, and to take in basin
flows. Alternatives will include no
action and alternatives that include
several reservoir footprints and
associated improvements, levees, pump
stations, water control structures,
emergency overflow and recreational
features. By this Notice, the public is
invited to identify potential alternatives,
information, and analyses relevant to
the proposed action.
Summary of Expected Impacts: Longterm beneficial and adverse impacts are
expected. Adverse impacts are expected
from conversion of habitat that may be
used by certain threatened and
endangered species (for example, the
crested caracara, Florida grasshopper
sparrow, bonneted bats, and Florida
panther) to reservoir storage and other
components. Significant beneficial
impacts to Lake Okeechobee and the
Northern Estuaries are expected from
the additional 200,000 acre-feet of water
storage north of Lake Okeechobee.
Therefore, an EIS is being proposed.
Environmental Review and
Consultation Requirements: The
proposed project will be reviewed for
compliance with laws that would be
applicable to a Federal project,
including but not limited to the
following: the Coastal Zone
Management Act, Endangered Species
Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act,
Farmland Protection Policy Act, and
National Historic Preservation Act.
NEPA Schedule: The Draft
Environmental Impact Assessment is
expected to be available for public
review in fall 2023. A 45-day public
review period will be provided for
interested parties and agencies to review
and comment on this draft document.
All interested parties are encouraged to
respond to this notice and provide a
current address if they wish to be
notified of the Draft EIS circulation. A
Record of Decision would be approved
and signed no earlier than 30 days after
the published Final EIS.
Public Involvement and Scoping: A
scoping letter will be used to invite
comments from Federal, State, and local
agencies; affected Federally recognized
Native American groups; and other
interested private organizations and

Title of Collection: National Teacher

(NTPS 2023–24) Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0598.
Type of Review: Revision of a

Abstract: The National Teacher and
Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted
every two or three years by the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES),
is a system of related questionnaires that
provides descriptive data on the context
of elementary and secondary education.
Redesigned from the Schools and
Staffing Survey (SASS) with a focus on
flexibility, timeliness, and integration
with other ED data, the NTPS system
allows for school, principal, and teacher
characteristics to be analyzed in relation
to one another. NTPS is an in-depth,
nationally representative survey of first
through twelfth grade public and private
school teachers, principals, and schools.
Kindergarten teachers in schools with at
least a first grade are also surveyed.
NTPS utilizes core content and a series
of rotating modules to allow timely
collection of important education trends
as well as trend analysis. Topics
covered include characteristics of
teachers, principals, schools, teacher
training opportunities, retention,
retirement, hiring, and shortages. NTPS
also functions as the base-year for the
longitudinal studies Teacher Follow-up
Survey (TFS) and Principal Follow-up
Survey (PFS).
A previous request (OMB #1850–0598
v.41) to conduct the NTPS 2023–24
preliminary activities, namely special
district recruitment, recruitment of
endorsers, and Screener Survey for the
NTPS and the NTPS follow-up surveys,
was approved in December 2022. This
request for public comment and OMB
review is for the NTPS 2023–24 Main
Study final procedures and materials,
including all contact materials and
survey questionnaires. Public comment
and OMB approval for the follow-up
surveys to NTPS 2023–24—the Teacher
Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the
Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS)—will
be requested in an additional package in
winter 2023–24.
