OMB Control Number: 1850–0974. Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,080. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,477. Abstract: The data collection described in this submission will assist policymakers in understanding the impact of classification and reclassification policies that govern students’ English learner (EL) status. Specifically, the study examines (1) whether classification and reclassification was implemented more consistently across districts within states after the start of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and (2) whether classification and reclassification at current thresholds helps, harms, or is neutral for ELs’ and former ELs’ instructional opportunities, experiences, achievement, and attainment. This revision request adds district and school surveys to the approved data collection. The surveys will assess how districtlevel policies, practices, and procedures influence the impacts of reclassification on ELs as well as provide valuable descriptive information from districts and schools on local implementation of policies and practices that may affect outcomes for ELs. It will complement an existing data collection (#1850–0974) of student information from state longitudinal data systems (SLDSs). Dated: November 12, 2024.

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) under Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. On October 15, 2024, Altop Energy Investments LP filed an application for authorization to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada for a term of five years. App. at 1. According to the Application, ‘‘Altop Energy Investments LP is a Delaware Limited Partnership with its principal place of business in Houston, TX.’’ Id. The Applicant states that it is ‘‘engaged in the trading and marketing of both financial and physical electricity in the wholesale power markets in North America.’’ Id. Further, the Applicant states that through its subsidiary Altop Energy Trading LLC, it has market-based rate authority from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Id. Altop Energy Investments LP states it ‘‘has no obligation to serve native load, does not own or operate any electric distribution or transmission facilities, does not own or operate any natural gas distribution or transmission facilities, and does not own or operate any generation assets’’. Id. Additionally, the Applicant represents that the energy to be exported will be purchased with voluntarily agreements and thus be surplus to the requirements of the selling entities and the overall electrical system and ‘‘will not impair the reliability of the grid.’’ Id. at 2.
