GAN also incorporates your approved
application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a
grant under this competition, you must
ensure that you have in place the
necessary processes and systems to
comply with the reporting requirements
in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive
funding under the competition. This
does not apply if you have an exception
under 2 CFR 170.110(b).
(b) At the end of your project period,
you must submit a final performance
report, including financial information,
as directed by the Secretary. If you
receive a multi-year award, you must
submit an APR that provides the most
current performance and financial
expenditure information as directed by
the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.118. The
Secretary may also require more
frequent performance reports under 34
CFR 75.720(c). For specific
requirements on reporting, please go to
www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/
appforms/appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: The goal of
the IDEA Fiscal Data Center is to
provide TA that will improve the
capacity of States to meet IDEA data
collection and reporting requirements.
Under the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), the
Department has established a set of
performance measures, including longterm measures, that are designed to
yield information on the effectiveness
and quality of the Technical Assistance
and Dissemination to Improve Services
and Results for Children with
Disabilities program. We will use the
measures established for the Technical
Assistance and Dissemination to
Improve Services and Results for
Children with Disabilities program to
assess the performance of the Technical
Assistance on State Data Collection
program. See www2.ed.gov/fund/grant/
apply/osep/funding.html. The
Department will use these measures to
assess the extent to which this program
provides high-quality products and
services, the relevance of project
products and services to educational
and early intervention policy and
practice, and the usefulness of products
and services to improve State data
capacity to collect and report IDEA data.
Grantees will be required to report
information on their project’s
performance in annual reports to the
Department (34 CFR 75.590).
5. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award, the Secretary may
consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the
extent to which a grantee has made
‘‘substantial progress toward meeting
the objectives in its approved

VerDate Mar<15>2010

17:35 Aug 08, 2014

Jkt 232001

application.’’ This consideration
includes the review of a grantee’s
progress in meeting the targets and
projected outcomes in its approved
application, and whether the grantee
has expended funds in a manner that is
consistent with its approved application
and budget. In making a continuation
grant, 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).

Collection
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Energy.
ACTION: Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:

The Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission)
invites public comment in Docket No.
RD14–11–000 on a proposed change to
a collection of information that the
Commission is developing for
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before October 10,
2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments, identified by
docket number, may be filed in the
following ways:
• Electronic Filing through http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed information collection
changes in Docket No. RD14–11–000
relate to the proposed Reliability
Standards VAR–001–4 (Voltage and
Reactive Control) and VAR–002–3
(Generator Operation for Maintaining
Network Voltage Schedules), developed
by the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (NERC), and
submitted to the Commission for
approval. The Commission received
NERC’s petition to approve the
proposed Reliability Standards on June
9, 2014.
NERC summarizes the VAR group of
standards as follows:
The Voltage and Reactive (‘‘VAR’’) group of
Reliability Standards, which consists of two
continent-wide Reliability Standards, VAR–
001–3 and VAR–002–2b, is designed to
maintain voltage stability on the Bulk-Power
System, protect transmission, generation,
distribution, and customer equipment, and
support the reliable operation of the BulkPower System.1

In its petition, NERC also summarizes
the proposed Reliability Standards’
applicability and requirements:

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

In general, proposed Reliability Standard
VAR–001–4 sets forth the requirements
applicable to Transmission Operators for
scheduling, monitoring, and controlling
Reactive Power resources in the Real-time
Operations, Same-day Operations, and
Operational Planning time horizons to
regulate voltage and Reactive Power flows for
the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power
System. Proposed Reliability Standard VAR–
002–3 sets forth the requirements applicable
to Generator Operators and Generator
Owners for providing the necessary reactive
support and voltage control necessary to
maintain reliable operations. Generators are
the largest and most reliable Reactive Power
resource and play an integral role in
maintaining voltage stability on the BulkPower System. Collectively, the proposed
Reliability Standards are designed to prevent
voltage instability and voltage collapse on the
Bulk-Power System.2

Finally, NERC also states that the
proposed Reliability Standards improve
reliability, clarify requirement language
and eliminate redundant or unnecessary
requirements.3
Burden Statement: Commission staff
analyzed the proposed and currently
enforced standards and has concluded
that while information collection
requirements have been deleted, added,

and/or changed, the overall paperwork
burden and applicable respondent
universe remains unchanged. However,
the Commission intends to submit a
request for approval to OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) related
to the proposed Reliability Standards
because there are substantive changes to
information collection requirements.
For PRA purposes, the information
collection requirements in proposed
Reliability Standards VAR–001–4 and
VAR–002–3 are identified as FERC–
725A and OMB Control Number 1902–
0244.
