SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

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

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

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 

Implementation and Outcomes in 

Upward Bound and other TRIO 

Programs. 

OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW. 

Type of Review: New information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Not-forprofit institutions. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 274. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 183. 

Abstract: This Upward Bound (UB) 

study, sponsored by the U.S. 

Department of Education, focuses on the 

implementation strategies of all regular 

UB projects. To do so, project directors 

will be asked to complete a 40 minute 

survey. This survey will serve two main 

purposes—to describe the services and 

strategies that Upward Bound grantees 

implement and to provide input into the 

decision-making process to identify a 

strategy to test as part of a random 

assignment demonstration. The grantee 

survey will be conducted with all 820 

regular Upward Bound projects in the 

spring of 2013. Preliminary results from 

the survey, which will be shared 

internally within ED in late Spring 

2013, will help inform the selection of 

a yet-to-be determined promising 

strategy or strategies for a possible 

experimental study that could be 

implemented in a set of UB grantees. ED 

will decide whether to exercise the 

option for a study of promising 

strategies in Upward Bound by June 

2013, based, in large part, on the 

findings from the survey of UB grantees.
