Title of Collection: Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS) State Entity Annual Performance Report. OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW. Type of Review: New ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 80. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,040. Abstract: This request is for a new OMB approval to collect the Annual Performance Report (APR) data from Charter School Programs (CSP) State Entity (SE) grantees. The Charter School Programs (CSP) was originally authorized under Title V, Part B, Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through 5211 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. For fiscal year 2017 and thereafter, ESEA has been amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), (20USC 7221–7221i), which reserves funds to improve education by supporting innovation in public education and to: (2) provide financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools; (3) increase the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the United States; (4) evaluate the impact of charter schools on student achievement, families, and communities, and share best practices between charter schools and other public schools; (5) encourage States to provide support to charter schools for facilities financing in an amount more nearly commensurate to the amount States typically provide for traditional public schools; (6) expand opportunities for children with disabilities, English learners, and other traditionally underserved students to attend charter schools and meet the challenging State academic standards; (7) support efforts to strengthen the charter school authorizing process to improve performance management, including transparency, oversight and monitoring (including financial audits), and evaluation of such schools; and (8) support quality, accountability, and transparency in the operational performance of all authorized public chartering agencies, including State educational agencies, local educational agencies, and other authorizing entities. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is requesting authorization to PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 collect data from CSP grantees within the SE program through a new online platform. In 2022, ED began development of a new data collection system, the Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS), designed specifically to reduce the burden of reporting for users and increase validity of the overall data. This new collection consists of questions responsive to the actions established in the program’s final rule published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2022, as well as the SE program Notice Inviting Applications (NIA). This collection request is a consolidation of all previously established program data collection efforts and provides a more comprehensive representation of grantee performance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Department of Energy (DOE) regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et seq.).

Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that export (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the authority to issue such orders was delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) by Delegation Order No. S1–DEL–S3–2023 and Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. On June 21, 2023, In Commodities filed an application with DOE (Application or App.) for authorization to transmit electric energy to Canada for a five-year term. App at 1. In its Application, In Commodities states that it is a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters in Denmark, and that ‘‘is also registered as a foreign limited liability company in the states of New Jersey, New York, and Texas.’’ Id. at 2. The Applicant states it ‘‘is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of In Commodities US ApS, a corporation organized under the laws of Denmark. In Commodities US ApS is wholly owned by Incomas Global ApS, also organized under the laws of Denmark. In Commodities Global ApS is wholly owned by Incomas Holdings ApS, also organized under the laws of Denmark.’’ Id. The Applicant represents that it ‘‘has no electric power supply system on which the proposed exports could have a reliability, fuel use system, or stability impact. In Commodities also has no obligation to serve native load usually associated with a franchised service area, and, thus, the exports proposed by In Commodities will not impair its ability to meet current and prospective power supply obligations.’’ Id. at 3–4. The Applicant further states, ‘‘In Commodities will purchase power to be exported from a variety of sources such as power marketers, independent power producers, or U.S. electric utilities and federal power marketing entities as those terms are defined in Sections 3(22) and 3(19) of the FPA. By definition, such power is surplus to the system of the generator and, therefore, the electric power that In Commodities will export on either a firm or interruptible basis will not impair the sufficiency of the electric power supply within the U.S.’’ Id. at 4.

    Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to 
export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that 
export (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the authority to issue 
such orders was delegated to the DOE's Grid Deployment Office (GDO) by 
Delegation Order No. S1-DEL-S3-2023 and Redelegation Order No. S3-DEL-

US ApS is wholly owned by Incomas Global ApS, also organized under the 
laws of Denmark. In Commodities Global ApS is wholly owned by Incomas 
Holdings ApS, also organized under the laws of Denmark.'' Id. The 
Applicant represents that it ``has no electric power supply system on 
which the proposed exports could have a reliability, fuel use system, 
or stability impact. In Commodities also has no obligation to serve 
native load usually associated with a franchised service area, and, 
thus, the exports proposed by In Commodities will not impair its 
ability to meet current and prospective power supply obligations.'' Id. 
at 3-4. The Applicant further states, ``In Commodities will purchase 
power to be exported from a variety of sources such as power marketers, 
independent power producers, or U.S. electric utilities and federal 
power marketing entities as those terms are defined in Sections 3(22) 
and 3(19) of the FPA. By definition, such power is surplus to the 
system of the generator and, therefore, the electric power that In 
Commodities will export on either a firm or interruptible basis will 
not impair the sufficiency of the electric power supply within the 
U.S.'' Id. at 4.
    The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized 
by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential 
permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are 
appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. Id. at 
Exhibit C.

proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at

the environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE's 
National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 
1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an 
adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the
