Title of Collection: Formula Grant for
the Electronic Application System for
Indian Education (EASIE).
OMB Control Number: 1810–0021.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 11,300.

Abstract: The Office of Indian
Education (OIE) of the Department of
Education (ED) requests clearance for
the Indian Education Formula Grant
Application authorized under Title VII,
Part A, Subpart 1 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, as amended
(ESEA). The Indian Education Formula
Grant (CFDA 84.060A), is not
competitive or discretionary and
requires the annual submission of the
application from the Local Education
Agency and or Tribe. The funds under
this program assist applicants to provide
Indian students with the opportunity to
meet the same challenging state
standards as all other students and meet
the unique educational and culturally
related academic needs of American
Indian and Alaska Native students. The
amount of the award for each applicant
is determined by a formula based on the
reported number of American Indian/
Alaska Native students identified in the
application, the state per pupil
expenditure, and the total appropriation
available. The information collection is
also necessary to meet the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
requirements. The collection is
authorized by section 7114(a) of the
ESEA, 20 U.S.C. 7424(a), and by section

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–730: Report of
Transmission Investment Activity.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0239
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–730 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: Pursuant to Section 219 1 of
the Federal Power Act, the Commission
issued FERC Order No. 679 2, Promoting
Transmission Investment Through
Pricing Reform. In Order No. 679 FERC
amended its regulations in 18 CFR 35.35
to establish incentive-based (including
performance-based) rate treatments for
the transmission of electric energy in
interstate commerce by public utilities.
The Commission intended the order to
benefit consumers by ensuring
reliability and to reduce the cost of
delivered power by reducing
transmission congestion. Order No. 679
also adopted an annual reporting
requirement (FERC–730) for utilities
that receive incentive rate treatment for
specific transmission projects. The

FERC–730 provides annual data on
transmission capital expenditures as
well as project status detail. The
Commission requires that filers specify
which projects are currently receiving
incentives in the project detail table and
that they group together those facilities
receiving the same incentive.
Specifically, in accordance with the
statute, public utilities with incentive
rates must file:
• Actual transmission investment for
the most recent calendar year, and
projected, incremental investments for
the next five calendar years (in dollar
terms); and
• a project by project listing that
specifies for each project the most up to
date, expected completion date,
percentage completion as of the date of
filing, and reasons for delays for all
current and projected investments over
the next five calendar years. Projects
with projected costs less than $20
million are excluded from this listing.
To ensure that Commission rules are
successfully meeting the objectives of
Section 219, the Commission collects
industry data, projections and related
information that detail the level of
investment. FERC–730 information
regarding projected investments as well
as information about completed projects
allows the Commission to monitor the
success of the transmission pricing
reforms and to determine the status of
critical projects and reasons for delay.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities
that have been granted incentive based
rate treatment for specific transmission
projects under the provisions of 18 CFR
35.35(h) must file the FERC–730.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:

approximately 511 miles of low/lowerpressure pipeline, consisting of 479
miles of transmission pipeline and 32
miles of gathering pipeline, associated
meters, and appurtenant and auxiliary
facilities located in Mississippi, all as
more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection. This
filing may also be viewed on the
Commission’s Web site at http://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
Enter the docket number, excluding the

assistance, call (866) 208–3676 or TTY,
(202) 502–8659.
Any questions regarding this
application should be directed to Mr. J.
Kyle Stephens, Vice-President,
Regulatory Affairs, Gulf South Pipeline
Company, LP, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite
2800, Houston, Texas, 77046, or by
calling (713) 479–8033 (telephone) or
(713) 479–1846 (fax)
[email protected].
Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final

VerDate Mar<15>2010

17:00 Mar 18, 2013

Jkt 229001

environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be

PO 00000

Frm 00016

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original
and 14 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.
