longitudinal studies at the high school
level conducted by the National Center

when most will be in twelfth grade. The
sample will be freshened in 2026 to
create a nationally representative
sample of twelfth-grade students. A high
school transcript collection and
additional follow-up data collections
beyond high school are also planned.
A field test was conducted in fall
2019 and the first follow-up field test
(F1FT) is planned for spring 2024 in
preparation for the spring 2026 first
follow-up full-scale study (F1FS).This
submission is to request approval to
conduct the HS&B:22 F1FT collection in
the spring of 2024. OMB provided
approval for F1FT sampling, tracking,
and recruitment in March 2021 (OMB#
1850–0944 v.9).
Part A of this submission presents
information on the basic design of
HS&B:22. Part B discusses the statistical
methods employed. Part C presents
justification for the questionnaire
content. Appendix A provides the
communication materials to be used
during state, school district, school,

and data collection activities. Appendix

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On May 26, 2023, Lock 9 Hydro
Partners, LLC filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA),
proposing to study the feasibility of a
hydropower project located on the
Kentucky River, in Jessamine and
Madison Counties, Kentucky. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder
priority to file a license application
during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit
holder to perform any land-disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the
owners’ express permission.
The proposed Valley View
Hydroelectric Project would consist of
the following: (1) an existing 242-footlong, 35-foot-high concrete lock and
dam; (2) an existing 18.9-mile-long, 343acre reservoir having a total capacity of
6,550-acre-feet; (3) a proposed 28.33foot-wide, 52-foot-long, 48.8-foot-high
powerhouse built into the abandoned
lock containing six Voith Stream Diver
submersible turbine/generating units for
a total installed capacity of 3.012
megawatts; (4) a proposed 20-foot-wide,
42-foot- long control building on the
adjacent shore; and (5) a proposed
2,000-foot-long, 12.47 kilovolt
transmission line which interconnects
to a Blue Grass Energy Cooperative
distribution line. The project is
estimated to generate an average of
14,000 megawatt- hours annually. The
existing lock and dam are owned by the
Kentucky River Authority.
