DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The IC Clearance Official, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management invites 

comments on the submission for OMB 

review as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before October 

23, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be addressed to the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Attention: Rachel Potter, Desk Officer, 

Department of Education, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th 

Street, NW., Room 10222, New 

Executive Office Building, Washington, 

DC 20503 or faxed to (202) 395–6974. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and

Burden:

Abstract: This request is for OMB 

approval of a new data collection 

necessary for the Charter School 

Program (CSP). ED will coordinate this 

new data collection with the Education 

Data Exchange Network (EDEN) to 

reduce respondent burden and fully 

utilize available data. Specifically, ED 

will collect CSP grant award 

information from grantees (state 

agencies and some schools) to create a 

new database of current CSP-funded 

charter schools and award amounts. 

Once complete, ED will merge student 

demographic and performance 

information extracted from the EDEN 

database onto the database of CSPfunded charter schools. Together, these 

data will allow ED to monitor CSP grant 

performance and analyze data related to 

accountability for academic 

performance, financial integrity, and 

program effectiveness.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Upward Bound Program 

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice of final priority. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary for 

Postsecondary Education announces a 

priority under the Upward Bound (UB) 

Program. This priority will help focus 

Federal resources on students most in 

need of academic assistance and 

increase the effectiveness of the UB 

Program. 

DATES: This priority is effective October 

23, 2006.

Geraldine Smith or Gaby Watts, U.S. 

Department of Education, 1990 K Street,

CONTACT. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We 

published a notice of proposed priority 

(NPP) in the Federal Register on July 3, 

2006 (71 FR 37926). We discussed our 

proposals for this program in the NPP 

on pages 37926–37928. 

This notice of final priority contains 

three changes from the NPP. We fully 

explain these changes in the Analysis of 

Comments and Changes section that 

follows. 

Analysis of Comments and Changes 

In response to our invitation in the 

NPP, 110 parties submitted comments. 

An analysis of the comments and of any 

changes in the priority follows. We 

group major issues according to subject. 

Generally, we do not address technical 

and other minor changes and suggested 

changes we are not authorized to make 

under the applicable statutory authority. 

Authority to Implement a Priority in the 

UB Program 

Comment: A number of commenters 

expressed concern that the Department 

had overstepped its legislative and 

regulatory authority in proposing this 

priority. They believe the Department 

does not have the legal authority to 

impose a priority not specified in statute 

and that the proposed priority 

substitutes an administrative priority for 

a congressional priority, and 

circumvents legislation and regulations 

regarding selection of program 

participants based on grade level and 

need for academic support. 

Discussion: The Secretary does not 

agree with these commenters. The 

Department’s authority to establish 

priorities for the TRIO programs and 

other discretionary grant programs is 

well established. The Department’s 

regulations clearly reflect this authority 

in 34 CFR 74.11 and 75.105. Section 

402C of the Higher Education Act of 

1965, as amended (HEA), which 

authorizes the UB program, does not 

prohibit or limit the Secretary’s 

authority to establish funding priorities 

to achieve the UB program’s purposes. 

In fact, the Secretary has previously 

established priorities for the UB 

Program without challenge or questions. 

See the notice of proposed priority, 68 

FR 37469 (June 24, 2003) and the notice 

of final priority, 68 FR 50958 (August 

22, 2003), and the notice of proposed 

priority, 65 FR 35238 (June 1, 2000) and 

the notice of final priority, 65 FR 45698 

(July 24, 2000). 

The priority proposed by the 

Secretary is consistent with the 

requirements for funding included in 

section 402C(d)(3) and (4) of the HEA. 

Those provisions stipulate that each UB 

program participant must have a need 

for academic support and must have 

completed eight years of elementary 

school education. Change: None. 

Selection of First-Time UB Participants 

From Otherwise Eligible Students Who 

Have Completed the 8th Grade But Not 

the 9th Grade in Secondary School 

Comment: Numerous commenters 

expressed concerns about the proposal 

to limit the selection of new UB 

participants to students who have 

completed the 8th grade but not the 9th 

grade in secondary school. These 

commenters stated that the focus on 

these students would not contribute to 

the effectiveness of the UB Program 

because of the lack of maturity of 

younger students; higher drop-out rates 

among younger students; the high 

mobility rates of UB participants; and 

increased costs for those projects that 

currently recruit from high schools that 

begin with the 10th grade. In addition, 

some commenters argued that selecting 

students in the 10th grade allows 

students to participate in the UB 

program for 36 months and those 

students have similar success rates as 

students selected during the 9th grade. 

Discussion: A 2004 report of a study 

conducted for the Department titled, 

The Impacts of Regular Upward Bound: 

Results from the Third Follow-Up Data 

Collection (the Study) concluded that, 

for students who participated in the UB 

program for less than two years, an 

additional year of participation in the 

program could raise the postsecondary 

enrollment rate by as much as nine 

percentage points. Among UB program 

participants who did not complete the 

program, the Study found that UB
