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: Application for Grants under the Upward Bound 
Math and Science Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0824.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments; 
Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 620.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 20,440.
    Abstract: The Department of Education is requesting a reinstatement 
with change of the application for grants under the Upward Bound Math 
and Science (UBMS) Program. The Department is requesting a 
reinstatement with change because the previous UBMS application expired 
in December 2019 and the application will be needed for a Fiscal Year 
(FY) 2022 competition for new awards. The Department expects an 
increase in respondents for the FY 2022 competition. The FY 2022 
application incorporates three competitive preference priorities.
    This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance 
Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001). 
Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only 
public comment notice published for this information collection.

    Dated: February 1, 2022.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, 
Evaluation and Policy Development.
