The Department of Defense has
submitted to OMB for clearance, the
5 The Commission estimates that entities will
spend $100 per hour. The $100 per hour estimate
was used as the average hourly wage rate in the
PRA section of the Internal Business Conduct
Standards for Swap Dealers and Major Swap
Participants final rule (see Duties Rules; Futures
Commission Merchant and Introducing Broker
Conflicts of Interest Rules; and Chief Compliance
Officer Rules for Swap Dealers, Major Swap
Participants, and Futures Commission Merchants,
77 FR 20128, 20194 (Apr. 3, 2012)) and the wage
rate for CCOs under the DCO final rules (see
Proposed Collection, Comment Request: Further
Definition of ‘‘Swap,’’ ‘‘Security-Based Swap,’’ and
‘‘Security-Based Swap Agreement’’’; Mixed Swaps;
Security-Based Swap Agreement Recordkeeping:
Book-out Agreement Confirmation, 76 FR 69344,
69428 (Aug. 16, 2012)). As the Commission
explained in the Internal Business Conduct
Standards final rule, the estimate of $100 per hour
was based on recent Bureau of Labor Statistics
findings, including the mean hourly wage of an
employee under occupation code 23–1011,
‘‘Lawyers,’’ that is employed by the ‘‘Securities and
Commodity Contracts Intermediation and Brokerage
Industry,’’ which is $85.20. The mean hourly wage
of an employee under occupation code 11–3031,
‘‘Financial Manager,’’ in the same industry is
$80.90. Additionally, SIFMA’s ‘‘Report on
Management & Professional Earnings in the
Securities Industry—2011’’ estimates the average
wage of a compliance attorney at $96.42 and a
compliance specialist in the U.S. at $74.85 per
hour. As in those rules, the Commission is using a
$100 per hour wage rate in calculating the cost
burdens imposed by this collection of information
and requests comment on the accuracy of its
estimate.

effectively— (1) Integrate standardsbased arts education into the core
elementary and middle school
curriculum; (2) strengthen standardsbased arts instruction in these grades;
and (3) improve students’ academic
performance, including their skills in
creating, performing, and responding to
the arts. Projects funded through the
AEMDD program are intended to
increase the amount of nationally
available information on effective
models for arts education that integrate
the arts with standards-based education
programs.
Priorities: This competition includes
one absolute priority and four
competitive preference priorities that
are explained in the following
paragraphs. Absolute priority 1 is from
the notice of final priority,
requirements, and definitions for this
program, published in the Federal
Register on March 30, 2005 (70 FR
16234). The competitive preference
priorities are from the notice of
supplemental priorities and definitions
for discretionary grant programs,
published in the Federal Register on
December 15, 2010 (75 FR 78486), and
corrected on May 12, 2011 (76 FR
27637) (Supplemental Priorities).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2013 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applicants from this competition, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
This priority supports projects that
enhance, expand, document, evaluate,
and disseminate innovative, cohesive
models that are based on research and
have demonstrated their effectiveness in
(1) integrating standards-based arts
education into the core elementary or
middle school curriculum, (2)
strengthening standards-based arts
instruction in the elementary or middle
school grades, and (3) improving the
academic performance of students in
elementary or middle school grades,
including their skills in creating,
performing, and responding to the arts.
In order to meet this priority, an
applicant must demonstrate that the
model project for which it seeks funding
(1) serves only elementary school or
middle school grades, or both, and (2)
is linked to State and national standards
intended to enable all students to meet
challenging expectations and to improve
student and school performance.
Note: National standards are the arts
standards developed by the Consortium of
National Arts Education Associations or
another comparable set of national arts
standards. The standards developed by the
