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

public and Federal agencies with an

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department

the public’s reporting burden. It also

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

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.
