Abstract: The Institute of Education
Sciences (IES) within the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) requests
clearance for data collection activities to
support a pilot study of the reliability
and validity of survey items used to
assess the use of research evidence
(URE) among education agencies and
other partners served by the Regional

Educational Laboratories (RELs). The
REL program is an essential IES
investment focused on partnering with
state and local education agencies to use
evidence to improve education
outcomes by creating tangible research
products and providing engaging
learning experiences and consultation.
IES seeks to better understand how REL
partners use research evidence to
improve education outcomes and the
role of RELs in promoting URE among
partners. This study will test the
reliability and validity of new and
extant URE items in the REL context.
Specifically, the study will (1) assess
how existing items from the URE
literature perform in a REL context and
(2) assess the reliability and validity of
a small set of items from the
Stakeholder Feedback Surveys (SFS)
that are currently administered to REL
partners and used by IES to improve the
work of REL contractors, inform the REL
program as a whole, and address
internal requests such as the
Congressional Budget Justification. The
reliability and validity of the new and
existing survey items will be assessed
through two data collection activities:
an online survey administered to a set
of partnerships across RELs and followup interviews with a subset of REL
partners.

Notice of Availability of National
Transmission Needs Study
Grid Deployment Office,
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) gives notice of availability
of the final ‘‘National Transmission
Needs Study’’ (Needs Study) pursuant
to the Federal Power Act, which
requires DOE to conduct a study of
electric transmission capacity
constraints and congestion every three
years. The Needs Study will inform the
potential exercise of DOE’s National
Interest Electric Transmission Corridor
designation authority and the use of
other DOE authorities and funding
related to electric transmission.

‘‘National Transmission Needs Study’’
(Needs Study). Section 216(a) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), as recently
amended by section 40105 of the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(IIJA), requires DOE to conduct a study
of historic and anticipated future
electric transmission capacity
constraints and congestion every three
years. The Needs Study implements that
statutory provision and replaces what
was formerly known as the National
Electric Transmission Congestion Study.
Pursuant to section 216(a)(1), DOE has
consulted with states, Tribes, and
appropriate regional reliability entities
regarding the Needs Study, including by
providing a consultation draft in
October 2022 for review and comment
by these entities, holding a series of six
audience-specific webinars following
release of the consultation draft, and
making available DOE staff for phone
calls and meetings. On March 6, 2023,
a draft Needs Study was made available
for public comment. The draft Needs
Study included revisions made in
response to comments and input that
DOE received from states, Tribes, and
regional reliability entities. The final
Needs Study incorporates feedback
received during the public comment
period held between March 6 and April
20, 2023.
Pursuant to section 216(a)(2) of the
FPA, the study would inform any
decision to exercise DOE’s National
Interest Electric Transmission Corridor
designation authority. The Needs Study
will also inform DOE as it coordinates
the use of other authorities and funding
related to electric transmission. These
include new authorities under the IIJA
and existing DOE programs, such as
grid-related research and development
and financing authorities that support
grid infrastructure development.
Members of the public can visit GDO’s
website to access the Needs Study at:
