The Department is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Title of Collection: Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Southwest Effective Advising Framework Evaluation. OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: New ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,153. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 611. Abstract: By 2030, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board expects that 60 percent or more of all new jobs in Texas will require some postsecondary education. However, in 2019, less than half of the Texas population ages 25–34 years (44.3 percent) had some type of postsecondary credential. To close this gap and support districts in meeting the state statute that requires schools to fully develop each student’s academic, career, personal, and social abilities, the Counseling, Advising, and Student Supports team (under the Division of College, Career, and Military Preparation) at the Texas Education Agency established the Effective Advising Framework.

This proposed study will examine the implementation of the Effective Advising Framework across school districts participating in the pilot program. Because it is expected that districts are applying the framework in a variety of ways, the study will examine the variation in implementation across districts, including an analysis of the factors that support or hinder implementation. To do this, the research team will collect data from public education staff at the school, district, and regional levels. Surveys will be administered to gather information on how and what is being implemented at each level and what factors may act as barriers to successful implementation. One-on-one interviews and focus group interviews will be conducted with a subsample of respondents from each level to gather more in-depth information on the successes and challenges they faced in applying the framework. The results of this study will inform the continued development of the framework and the associated resources and supports that will be provided to districts and schools when the initiative is implemented statewide.

SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Apr 22, 2024 Jkt 262001 Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be submitted on or before May 23, 2024. ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for more information should be addressed by electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janessa Zucchetto, (240) 474–8226, Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Department of Energy (DOE) regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) transferred this regulatory authority, previously exercised by the nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to DOE. Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that export (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the authority to issue such orders was delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) by Delegation Order No. S1–DEL–S3–2023 and Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. On February 11, 2009, DOE issued Order No. EA–348 to FPL Energy Power Marketing, Inc. to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer for a period of five years. This authority was amended in March 2009 to effectuate a name change to NextEra Energy Power Marketing, LLC (Order No. EA–348–A). This authority was renewed in 2014 (Order No. EA–348–B) and 2019 (Order No. EA–348–C). On March 21, 2024, NEM filed an application with DOE (Application or App.) for renewal of its export authority for a five-year term. App. at 1. According to the Application, NEM is a Delaware corporation that is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. App. at 1–2. NEM states it does not own any transmission facilities. Id. at 2. NEM further states that its affiliate, NextBridge Infrastructure LP, owns and operates the East-West Tie transmission project in Ontario, Canada, including 280 miles of double-circuit 230 kV line. Id. at 2–3. The Applicant represents that the electricity it proposes to export will be purchased from others voluntarily and will, therefore, be surplus to the needs of the selling entities. Id. at 3. NEM also states it will comply with DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30349 applicable reliability standards, export limits, and general conditions set by DOE. Id. at 4. NEM asserts its proposed exports will not impair or impede sufficient electric supplies in the United States or the regional coordination of electric utility planning or operations. Id. at 3. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See App. at Exhibit C. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at Electricity.Exports@ hq.doe.gov. Protests should be filed in accordance with Rule 211 of FERC’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become a party to this proceeding should file a motion to intervene at Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Comments and other filings concerning NEM’s Application should be clearly marked with GDO Docket No. EA–348–D. Additional copies are to be provided directly to William Lavarco, NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, 801 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite 220, Washington, DC 20004, william.lavarco@nee.com. A final decision will be made on the requested authorization after the environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE’s National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the United States electric power supply system. Copies of this Application will be made available, upon request, by accessing the program website at https://www.energy.gov/gdo/pendingapplications-0 or by emailing Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. Signing Authority: This document of the Department of Energy was signed on April 16, 2024, by Maria Robinson, Director, Grid Deployment Office, pursuant to delegated authority from the Secretary of Energy. That document with the original signature and date is maintained by DOE. For administrative purposes only, and in compliance with requirements of the Office of the Federal Register, the undersigned DOE Federal Register Liaison Officer has been authorized to sign and submit the document in electronic format for E:\FR\FM\23APN1.SGM 23APN1
