Abstract: This request is for a new
OMB approval to collect the Grant
Profile data from Charter School
Programs (CSP) Developer 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), (20 U.S.C. 7221–7221i), which
reserves funds to improve education by
supporting innovation in public
education and to: (1) provide financial
assistance for the planning, program
design, and initial implementation of
charter schools; (2) increase the number
of high-quality charter schools available
to students across the United States; (3)
evaluate the impact of charter schools
on student achievement, families, and

schools and meet the challenging State
academic standards; (6) 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 (7)
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
collect data from CSP grantees within
the Developer 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 Developer
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.

Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP24–1–000]
Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC;
Notice of Scoping Period Requesting
Comments on Environmental Issues
for the Proposed Holbrook Expansion
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental document, that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the Holbrook Expansion Project
involving construction and operation of
facilities by Cameron Interstate Pipeline,
LLC (CIP) in Calcasieu Parish,
Louisiana. The Commission will use
this environmental document in its
decision-making process to determine
whether the project is in the public
convenience and necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies regarding the
project. As part of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review process, the Commission takes
into account concerns the public may
have about proposals and the
environmental impacts that could result
from its action whenever it considers
the issuance of a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity. This
gathering of public input is referred to
as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis
in the environmental document on the
important environmental issues.
Additional information about the
Commission’s NEPA process is
described below in the NEPA Process
and Environmental Document section of
this notice.
By this notice, the Commission
requests public comments on the scope
of issues to address in the
environmental document. To ensure
that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on
December 13, 2023. Comments may be
submitted in written form. Further
details on how to submit comments are
provided in the Public Participation
section of this notice.
Your comments should focus on the
potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to
avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues they need to
