3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Study of Enhanced 

College Advising in Upward Bound. 

OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 4,200. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,400. 

Abstract: The Study of Enhanced 

College Advising in Upward Bound will 

test the effectiveness of providing 

Upward Bound projects with a 

professional development package and 

tools to provide semi-customized 

college advising to students 

participating in Upward Bound. 

Upward Bound projects will be invited 

to volunteer for the demonstration, and 

the first 200 projects to volunteer for the 

demonstration will be included. 

Volunteer projects will be randomly 

assigned so that half receive the staff 

training, materials, tools, and resources 

in the first wave (spring, summer, fall 

2015), and the other half will receive the 

staff training, materials, tools, and 

resources in the second wave (summer 

and fall 2016). The study will follow 

students who participate in both groups 

of projects as 11th graders in the 2014– 

2015 school year. The study will 

examine the impact of the 

demonstration on key outcomes 

including college application behavior, 

college acceptance and matriculation, 

and receipt of financial aid. This first of 

two ICRs for the study requests approval 

for the overall evaluation design, to 

collect 11th grade student rosters at 

each participating project in order to 

define the evaluation sample, and to 

administer the student baseline survey. 

A later ICR will request approval for 

other data collection, including a Project 

Director survey and a follow-up student 

survey.
