Title of Collection: Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest Leading Early Childhood Achievement and Development (LEAD) Efficacy Study. OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: A new ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 408. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 260. Abstract: The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) would like to address disparities in instructional quality by increasing the use of research-based early learning practices in PreK and kindergarten classrooms. OSDE, Anadarko Public Schools, Shawnee Public Schools, and the Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Southwest formed the Leading Early Childhood Achievement and Development (LEAD) partnership in Oklahoma to respond to this need. Since 2023, REL Southwest has collaborated with these partners to codevelop, iteratively refine, and test a professional learning intervention (referred to as the LEAD intervention). The LEAD intervention is designed to complement and fully support the use of Oklahoma’s Academic Standards and districtselected curricula. The intervention aims to build school leaders’ and PreK and kindergarten teachers’ knowledge of research-based early learning practices—play-based instructional practices and high-quality interactions. In addition, the LEAD intervention aims to develop school leaders’ instructional leadership skills and provide resources to support PreK and kindergarten teachers’ implementation of researchbased practices. In time, these practices are expected to lead to better academic outcomes for students. REL Southwest is developing the LEAD intervention through an approved Training, Coaching, and Technical Support (TCTS) project. To increase the likelihood that the LEAD intervention will achieve its intended outcomes, the partnership is also studying the usability, feasibility, and acceptability of the core components of the LEAD E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM 14NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2024 / Notices intervention, through two iterations of piloting the LEAD intervention across two cohorts: cohort 1 during the 2023/ 24 school year and cohort 2 during the 2024/25 school year. To date, the LEAD intervention has completed the cohort 1 pilot with two districts and their four schools and is conducting the cohort 2 pilot with two districts and their two schools. REL Southwest is requesting clearance to conduct an efficacy study with a third cohort of schools. The study will be conducted in 44 schools across Oklahoma and will focus on school leaders and preK and kindergarten teachers and students. Data collected for this study will be used to measure the implementation of the LEAD intervention in participating schools and the LEAD intervention’s efficacy in improving school leaders’ and teachers’ knowledge of researchbased early learning practices; teachers’ use of play-based learning practices and high-quality teacher-student interactions; and students’ attendance, early academic skills, and skills to support learning. This efficacy study will provide evidence on LEAD implementation and its impact on educators and preK and kindergarten students in Oklahoma. Dated: November 8, 2024.

(GTS) requested that the Commission grant an extension of time, until December 31, 2027, to complete the development of Storage Caverns 1 and 2 to their certificated storage capacities for the GTS Project in Jefferson and Orange Counties, Texas as authorized in the Order Authorizing Certificates issued on December 31, 2007.1 On January 11, 2022, the Commission granted GTS an extension of time until December 31, 2024, to complete construction of the GTS Project,2 the currently effective deadline for constructing and placing the GTS Project into service at certificated levels. GTS explains that as of June 16, 2012, GTS placed all certificated facilities into service except the completion of Caverns 1 and 2 to their maximum certificated capacities. GTS further explains that, prior to this request, it requested and received three extensions of time, primarily to accommodate the lengthy cavern rewatering process required to enlarge the caverns to their full capacity and to deal with salt creep which slowly reduces cavern capacity. GTS states that it will not be able to complete the expansion of Caverns 1 and 2 by December 31, 2024, and therefore requests an extension of time until December 31, 2027. This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on GTS’s request for an extension of time may do so.
