A second OMB package, which will be submitted later this year, will request clearance for data collection instruments and the collection of district administrative data. Even prior to the COVID–19 pandemic, Algebra I proved challenging for many students because of the extensive abstract thinking it requires (Katz, 2007; Susa et al., 2014). To help students succeed in Algebra I, REL Central is developing a toolkit of professional learning supports to help Algebra I teachers learn about, make sense of, plan for, and implement three evidence-based Algebra I teaching practices that were identified in the related What Work Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice Guide, ‘‘Teaching Strategies for Improving Algebra Knowledge in Middle and High School Students.’’ The toolkit contains the following three parts: (1) Initial Diagnostic and On-going Monitoring Instruments, (2) Professional Development Resources, and (3) Steps for Institutionalizing Supports for Evidence-Based Practice. This study will assess whether implementing the toolkit improves teacher and student outcomes and will describe the implementation of the toolkit in study schools that use it. Using a school-level randomized controlled trial during the 2024–2025 school year, the study will estimate the impact of the toolkit on teachers’ selfefficacy and their understanding and use of the promising practices, as well as on students’ algebraic content knowledge, self-efficacy, and mathematical mindsets. To provide context for the impact estimates and inform future use of the toolkit, the study will also describe the implementation of the toolkit. The study plans to include 20 schools from three districts. To disseminate these findings, REL Central will produce a report for school leaders and teachers who are potential users of the toolkit.

[FR Doc. 2023–19649 Filed 9–11–23; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000–01–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 3211–010] Power Authority of the State of New York; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license to continue to operate and maintain the Hinckley (Gregory B. Jarvis) Hydroelectric Project (Jarvis Project). The Jarvis Project is located on West Canada Creek, near the Hamlet of Hinckley in the counties of Oneida and Herkimer, New York. On June 27, 2022, the Commission issued a notice indicating that staff intended to prepare a multi-project Environmental Assessment (EA) for both the Jarvis Project and Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P.’s West Canada Creek Hydroelectric Project, because the projects are located adjacent to each other. However, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 now requires that an EA ‘‘shall not exceed 75 pages, not including any citations or appendices’’ (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, Pub. L. 118–5, 107, 137 Stat 42 (2023)). A multi-project EA would have exceeded the page limit established in the Act, so staff has prepared a standalone draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Jarvis Project.
