Title of Collection: Regional
Educational Laboratory (REL) Southwest
Write to Succeed Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 2,453.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 366.
Abstract: The current authorization
for the Regional Educational
Laboratories (REL) program is under the
Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002,
Part D, Section 174, (20 U.S.C. 9564),
administered by the Department of
Education, Institute of Education
Sciences (IES), National Center for
Education Evaluation and Regional
Assistance (NCEE). The central mission
and primary function of the RELs is to
support applied research and provide
technical assistance to state and local
education agencies within their region
(ESRA, Part D, section 174[f]). The REL
program’s goal is to partner with
educators and policymakers to conduct
work that is change-oriented and
supports meaningful local, regional, or
state decisions about education policies,
programs, and practices to improve
outcomes for students.
Supporting equitable educational
opportunities and achievement for
English learner students in New Mexico
is a high priority for the New Mexico
Public Education Department (NMPED,
n.d., 2021). In light of analysis showing
English learner students in the state
have lower rates of English language arts
(ELA) proficiency (Arellano et al., 2018),
plus legal rulings in the state that
English learner students’ rights to a
sufficient public education have been
violated (NMPED, 2022a), NMPED
created a strategic plan that includes
supporting the whole child through
literacy instruction that is culturally and
linguistically responsive (NMPED,
2022b). Improving English learner
students’ English proficiency and the
literacy skills of all students is a top
priority of NMPED and the district and
regional partners of REL Southwest. To
address this problem, REL Southwest is
implementing, refining, and building
evidence for the Write to Succeed
professional learning program. The core
focus of the Write to Succeed program
is scaffolded writing instruction that can
support all students but with embedded
opportunities to meet the language
needs to English learner students. Prior
to this study, the program will be
further enhanced with supports for
teacher collaboration and culturally and
linguistically relevant instructional
routines, as prior work with New

Mexico partners has indicated these are
two elements in need of further support.
This study is designed to measure the
efficacy and implementation of the
Write to Succeed. The evaluation team
plans to conduct an independent
evaluation using a school-level, cluster
randomized control trial design to
assess the program’s impact on teachers’
practices and beliefs and students’
language and literacy outcomes. The
evaluation will also assess the
implementation of the program and how
it may be effectively scaled. The
evaluation will take place in 40 schools
across an estimated 10 districts in New
Mexico and will focus on teachers and
students in Grade 4–8. The evaluation
will produce a report and presentations
to study participants, practitioners,
policymakers, and researchers, and
infographics and blog posts for a wider
audience of educators and
policymakers. These will be designed to
inform district and school leaders and
teachers about scaffolded writing
practices that could be beneficial for
English learner students and all
students.

Progression to Net-Zero Emission
Propulsion Technologies for the Rail
Sector; Reopening of Public Comment
Period
Office of Energy Efficiency and

Energy.
ACTION: Request for information;
reopening of public comment period.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy
(EERE) published a request for
information (RFI) on November 27,
2023, inviting interested parties to
provide input regarding the state of
technology on the progression to netzero emission propulsion technologies
for the rail industry. DOE requested
public comments by January 12, 2023.
DOE received requests for an extension
of the public comment period. DOE
reviewed the requests and has
determined it is necessary and
appropriate to reopen the comment

DATES: The comment period for the RFI
published on November 27, 2023 (88 FR

2024, is reopened. Responses to this RFI
must be received no later than February
12, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to
submit comments electronically to
GreenRail@ee.doe.gov. Include ‘‘State of
the Rail Industry’’ in the subject line of
the email. Only electronic responses
will be accepted. The complete RFI
document is located at https://eereexchange.energy.gov/

Questions may be addressed to Ben
Simon at GreenRail@ee.doe.gov or 240–

found in the RFI document posted on
EERE Exchange.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
National Blueprint for Transportation
Decarbonization set the goal to achieve
net-zero carbon emissions in the
transportation sector—including rail by
2050. This transformation to net-zero
emission technologies requires
coordination among all aspects of the
rail supply chain, including feedstock
supply, alternative fuel production,
locomotive engine manufacturers, safety
implementation, customer demand, and
government regulation. To develop a
national strategy to decarbonize the rail
sector, two critical questions must be
addressed:
1—Which alternative rail propulsion
technologies are most promising?
2—What is the timeline for the rail
sector to transition to net-zero emission
technologies?
The purpose of this RFI is to
understand what is driving the rail
sector towards adopting alternative
propulsion technologies, which
technologies seem most promising, and
what are the key barriers to achieving
the transition to net-zero emissions by
2050.
