OMB Control Number: 1850–0852. Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 11,600. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,933. Abstract: The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department of Education. The HSLS:09 base-year data collection took place in the 2009–10 PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 school year, with a randomly selected sample of fall-term 9th-graders in more than 900 public and private high schools with both 9th and 11th grades. This fall 2009 cohort of 9th graders has been followed over time, with follow-up interviews in spring 2012 and summerfall 2013 and a collection of administrative records (such as high school transcripts). HSLS:09 data allows researchers, educators, and policymakers to examine motivation, achievement, and persistence in STEM (as well as non-STEM) coursetaking and careers. More generally, HSLS:09 data will allow researchers from a variety of disciplines to examine issues of college entry, persistence and success, and how changes in young people’s lives and their connections with communities, schools, teachers, families, parents, and friends affect these decisions. This request is to conduct the third follow-up of the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). This submission includes materials and justification for the HSLS:09 third follow-up and includes approximately 23,000 sample members who were in 9th grade in 2009 during the base-year data collection. Most of the data for the third follow-up will be obtained by administrative data matching. Sample members will also be invited to complete a brief web survey. In addition to supporting statements, this submission includes: a membership list of the Technical Review Panel (TRP) (appendix A); a description of the confidentiality procedures in place for the administrative record matching (appendix B); study communication materials (appendix C); and the survey instrument (appendix D). This submission covers HSLS:09 third follow-up materials and procedures required for administering a brief survey for sample members and administrative records matching. This submission is designed to adequately justify the need for and overall practical utility of the third follow-up study, presenting the plan for the data collection and providing as much detail about the measures to be used as is available at the time of this submission. For this full-scale study NCES will publish a notice in the Federal Register allowing for an initial 60-day public comment period and then an additional 30-day public comment period.

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 November 19, 2024, XTS filed an application for authorization to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico for a term of five years. App. at 1. According to the Application, XTS is a power marketer ‘‘authorized to do business in the State of Texas as a lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 Dec 18, 2024 Jkt 265001 limited liability company that participates in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas[.]’’ Id. XTS states that it purchases and sells electricity and ancillary services to customers. Id. The Applicant has applied for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) market-based rate authority and ‘‘will obtain any and all other regulatory approvals required in order to carry out any electricity exports.’’ Id. at 4 & Attachment 2. The Applicant states it ‘‘does not currently own or control electric generation or transmission facilities and does not have a power supply of its own in the United States that would cause its electricity exports to have a reliability, fuel use, or system stability impact.’’ App. at 3. XTS represents that it ‘‘will purchase the electricity that it may export, on either a firm or an interruptible basis, from wholesale generators, electric utilities, federal power marketing agencies, and affiliates through negotiated agreements that have been voluntarily executed by the selling parties after considering their own need for any such electricity.’’ Id. at 3. XTS asserts its transactions will comply with all North American Reliability Corporation requirements and the export limits imposed by DOE. See id. at 4. For these reasons, XTS states that its ‘‘proposed electricity exports will not impair or tend to impede the sufficiency of electric power supplies in the United States or the regional coordination of electric utility planning or operations.’’ Id. 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 XTS’s Application should be clearly marked with GDO Docket No. EA–520.

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.

    Abstract: The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is 
conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part 
of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department 
of Education. The HSLS:09 base-year data collection took place in the 
2009-10 school year, with a randomly selected sample of fall-term 9th-
graders in more than 900 public and private high schools with both 9th 
and 11th grades. This fall 2009 cohort of 9th graders has been followed 
over time, with follow-up interviews in spring 2012 and summer-fall 
2013 and a collection of administrative records (such as high school 
transcripts). HSLS:09 data allows researchers, educators, and 
policymakers to examine motivation, achievement, and persistence in 
STEM (as well as non-STEM) coursetaking and careers. More generally, 
HSLS:09 data will allow researchers from a variety of disciplines to 
examine issues of college entry, persistence and success, and how 
changes in young people's lives and their connections with communities, 
schools, teachers, families, parents, and friends affect these 
decisions.
    This request is to conduct the third follow-up of the High School 
Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). This submission includes 
materials and justification for the HSLS:09 third follow-up and 
includes approximately 23,000 sample members who were in 9th grade in 
2009 during the base-year data collection. Most of the data for the 
third follow-up will be obtained by administrative data matching. 
Sample members will also be invited to complete a brief web survey. In 
addition to supporting statements, this submission includes: a 
membership list of the Technical Review Panel (TRP) (appendix A); a 
description of the confidentiality procedures in place for the 
administrative record matching (appendix B); study communication 
materials (appendix C); and the survey instrument (appendix D).
    This submission covers HSLS:09 third follow-up materials and 
procedures required for administering a brief survey for sample members 
and administrative records matching. This submission is designed to 
adequately justify the need for and overall practical utility of the 
third follow-up study, presenting the plan for the data collection and 
providing as much detail about the measures to be used as is available 
at the time of this submission. For this full-scale study NCES will 
publish a notice in the Federal Register allowing for an initial 60-day
