See the standards in 2 CFR 170.105 to determine whether you are covered by 2 CFR part 170.

(c) Under 34 CFR 75.250(b), the Secretary may provide a grantee with additional funding for data collection analysis and reporting. In this case the Secretary establishes a data collection period. 7. Performance Measures: The Department has established the following performance measures for purposes of Department reporting under 34 CFR 75.110, which it will use to evaluate the overall performance of the grantee’s project, as well as NACTEP as a whole: (a) At the secondary level: An increase in— (1) The percentage of CTE concentrators who graduate high school, as measured by— (A) The four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (defined in section 8101 of ESEA); and (B) At the grantee’s discretion, the extended-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (defined in section 8101 of ESEA); (2) The percentage of CTE concentrators graduating from high school having attained postsecondary credits in the relevant CTE program earned through a dual or concurrent enrollment program or another credit transfer agreement; (3) The percentage of CTE concentrators graduating from high school having participated in workbased learning; VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:44 Jan 06, 2025 Jkt 265001 (4) The percentage of CTE concentrators graduating from high school having attained a recognized postsecondary credential; and (5) The percentage of CTE concentrators who, after exiting from secondary education, are in postsecondary education or advanced training, military service, or a service program, or are employed.

Project-Specific Performance Measures: In addition to the performance measures noted above, applicants may propose project-specific performance measures and performance targets consistent with the objectives of the proposed project. Examples of such project-specific performance measures could include student recruitment, student participation in work-based learning at the postsecondary level, and teacher and faculty participation in professional development. Note: All grantees will be expected to submit a semi-annual and an annual performance report addressing these performance measures, to the extent that these performance measures apply to each grantee’s NACTEP project. 6. Continuation Awards: In making a continuation award under 34 CFR 75.253, the Secretary considers, among other things: whether a grantee has made substantial progress in achieving the goals and objectives of the project; whether the grantee has expended funds in a manner that is consistent with its approved application and budget; and, if the Secretary has established performance measurement requirements, whether the grantee has made substantial progress in achieving the performance targets in the grantee’s approved application. In making a continuation award, the Secretary also considers whether the grantee is operating in compliance with the assurances in its approved application, including those applicable to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

The project is located on the Shenandoah River, near the Town of Front Royal, in Warren County, Virginia. In accordance with the Commission’s regulations, on October 18, 2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the record, staff does not anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to license the project.1 The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and considered in the Commission’s final licensing decision. The Commission’s Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners, environmental justice communities, Tribal members, and others, access publicly available information and navigate Commission processes. For public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is encouraged to contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@ ferc.gov.
