Title of Collection: Ronald E. McNair 

Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program 

Annual Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0640. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector; State, Local, and Tribal 

Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 206. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,297. 

Abstract: Ronald E. McNair 

Postbaccalaureate Achievement 

(McNair) Program grantees must submit 

the Annual Performance Report each 

year. The reports are used to evaluate 

grantees’ performance for substantial 

progress, respond to the Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA), 

and award prior experience points at the 

end of each project (budget) period. The 

Department also aggregates the data to 

provide descriptive information on the 

projects and to analyze the impact of the 

McNair Program on the academic 

progress of participating students. 

In this revision, the Department 

added two fields, at the project level, 

requesting information on the 

implementation of the Competitive 

Preference Priorities (CPPs) used in the 

most recent grant competition. The 

addition of the CPP questions coupled 

with an increase in the number of 

respondents resulted in a slight increase 

in total annual burden hours.
