Download as PDF 14814 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Notices structures when done in accordance with applicable regulations, including those regulations applying to removal of asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other hazardous materials. Application of the CE will be limited to the following NBRC activities, which would not involve the demolition of structures that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Properties, or improvement activities outside the footprint of the existing structure: • Grants to support demolition or improvement of buildings or structures to support economic development activities as specified in 40 U.S.C. 15501(a). khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES III. Documentation of CE and Public Notice The NBRC will document the use of the above CEs for each project to which they are applied and will maintain this documentation in the project’s records in the NBRC’s online file storage system. The CEs will be documented in a ‘‘Memorandum for Record’’ format to stay consistent across projects. NBRC annually provides required NEPA dedicated training to our State, regional and local partners, as well as our grantees. NBRC’s NEPA process, including all templates, guidance documents, procedures, etc., are made available to the public on NBRC’s NEPA-dedicated web page. IV. Consideration of Extraordinary Circumstances If an agency determines that a CE covers a proposed action, the agency must evaluate the proposed action for extraordinary circumstances in which a normally excluded action may have a significant effect. 40 CFR 1501.4(b). NBRC does not currently have its own NEPA implementing procedures to guide its application of extraordinary circumstances. Until NBRC establishes NEPA implementing procedures, for purposes of considering extraordinary circumstances in connection with the Denali Commission CEs discussed in this notice, NBRC will consider whether the proposed action has the potential to result in significant effects by considering the factors listed in the Denali Commission’s definition of extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, a reasonable likelihood of significant impacts on environmentally sensitive resources; threatening a violation of a Federal, Tribal, State, or local law or requirement imposed for the protection of the environment; or disproportionate and adverse effects on communities with environmental justice concerns. NBRC VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:39 Feb 28, 2024 Jkt 262001 would analyze proposed actions for the extraordinary circumstances in the Denali Commission’s NEPA implementing procedures and consistent with the CEQ NEPA regulations. 45 CFR 900.204 (c). NBRC will then assess whether an extraordinary circumstance is present and if so, whether the CE may nonetheless be applied, consistent with 40 CFR 1501.4(b) or any successor regulation. If NBRC cannot apply a CE to a particular proposed action due to extraordinary circumstances, NBRC will prepare an EA or EIS, consistent with 40 CFR 1501.4(b)(2), or determine if the action is covered under an existing NEPA document. NBRC will document its consideration of extraordinary circumstances as part of the Memorandum for Record discussed in Part III above. V. Consultation With the Denali Commission and Determination of Appropriateness NBRC worked with the Denali Commission to identify Denali Commission CEs that could apply to NBRC proposed actions and began consultation in September 2023. During this consultation, the agencies discussed whether the categories of NBRC proposed actions would be appropriately covered by the Denali Commission CEs; each Agency’s process for review of projects with respect to CEs; and the extraordinary circumstances that NBRC should consider before applying these CEs to NBRC’s proposed actions. The consultation continued through early November 2023, and consisted of detailed email exchanges and virtual meetings with the Denali Commission’s lead reviewer of NEPA-related items. At the conclusion of that process, the agencies determined that NBRC’s proposed use of the CEs as described in this notice would be appropriate because the categories of actions for which NBRC plans to use the CEs are covered by the Denali Commission CEs. VI. Conclusion This notice documents adoption of the Denali Commission CEs listed above in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 4336c(3), and they are available for use by NBRC effective immediately.

Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 26,049. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,337. Abstract: This request is to conduct data collection for the two follow-up surveys to the 2023–24 National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS)— the 2024–25 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the 2024–25 Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS). The 2024–25 TFS is a one year follow-up of a subsample of teachers who responded to the 2023–24 NTPS, and the 2024–25 PFS is a one year follow-up of principals who responded to the 2023– 24 NTPS. The TFS and PFS are conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The 2024–25 TFS and 2024–25 PFS, like earlier TFS and PFS collections, will measure the one year attrition rates of teachers and principals, respectively, who leave the profession and will permit comparisons of stayers, movers, and leavers to fulfill the legislative mandate for NCES to report on the ‘‘condition of education in the United States.’’ ‘‘Stayers’’ are teachers or principals who remain in the same school between the NTPS year of data collection and the follow-up year.
