Abstract: The National Assessment of

federally authorized survey of student
achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in
various subject areas, such as
mathematics, reading, writing, science,
U.S. history, civics, geography,
economics, and the arts. In the current
legislation that reauthorized NAEP (The
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Pub.
L. 107–110)), Congress mandated again
the collection of national education
survey data through a national
assessment program. The 2011 Wave 2
submittal contains the grades 8 and 12
writing non-cognitive (computerdelivered) questions; the National
Indian Education Study (NIES) student,
teacher, and school questions; and the
non-cognitive questions for three special
studies: The Mathematics ComputerBased Study (MCBS), Knowledge and
Skills Appropriate (KaSA) Study, and
the alignment study between NAEP and
TIMSS (Trends in International
Mathematics and Science Study)
mathematics and science questions.

The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $149,143
(2,250 hours/2,080 hours 2 per year,
times $137,874 3).
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing, and providing information;
(3) adjusting the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.

These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization rather
than any one particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including

other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of

reporting requirements are found in 18
CFR 154.501 and 154.502.
The Commission uses the data to
monitor refunds owed by natural gas
companies to ensure that the flowthrough of refunds owed by these
companies are made as expeditiously as
possible and to assure that refunds are
made in compliance with the
Commission’s regulations.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the FERC–547
reporting requirements, with no
changes.
Burden Statement: The estimated
annual public reporting burden for
FERC–547 is reduced from the estimate
made three years ago due to a reduction
in the average number of filings
received annually, from 60 in 2007, to
30 presently.

The

requirements of FERC–547, ‘‘Gas
Pipeline Rates: Refund Report
Requirements’’ (OMB No. 1902–0084), is
used by the Commission to implement
the statutory refund provisions
governed by sections 4, 5 and 16 of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA).1 Sections 4 and
5 authorize the Commission to order a
refund, with interest, for any portion of
a natural gas company’s increased rate
or charge found to be unjust or
unreasonable. Refunds may also be
instituted by a natural gas company as
a stipulation to a Commission-approved
settlement agreement or a provision
under the company’s tariff. Section 16
of the NGA authorizes the Commission
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary to administer its refund
mandates. The Commission’s refund
