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: 1,400. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 468. 

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.

Title of Collection: SURVEY ON THE 

USE OF FUNDS UNDER TITLE II, PART 

A (‘‘IMPROVING TEACHER QUALITY 

STATE GRANTS SUBGRANTS TO 

LEAS’’). 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0618. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 850. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 4,850. 

Abstract: The Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 

amended, provides funds to districts to 

improve the quality of their teaching 

and principal force and raise student 

achievement. These funds are provided 

to districts through Title II, Part A 

(Improving Teacher Quality State Grants 

Sub grants to Local Educational 

Agencies (LEA)). The purpose of this 

survey is for the U.S. Department of 

Education to have a better 

understanding of how districts use these 

funds. The survey also collects 

information on high-quality professional 

development in LEAs. In addition to the 

LEA survey, the package also includes 

a short survey for State Educational 

Agencies (SEA) that provides 

information on fiscal year allocations of 

Title II, Part A funds made to the LEAs 

selected for participation in the LEA 

survey. 

This OMB clearance request is to 

continue these analyses using a similar 

data collection instrument and sampling 

plan for the 2014–2015 school year and 

subsequent years. Minor changes to the 

LEA survey are requested. No changes 

to the State Educational Agency (SEA) 

survey are required.
