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

Title of Collection: Application for

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0550.

change of a previously approved 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector; State, Local, and Tribal 

Governments.

Burden Hours: 51,080. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Education is requesting a reinstatement 

with change of the application for grants 

under the Upward Bound (UB) Program. 

The Department is requesting a 

reinstatement with change because the 

previous UB application expired in 

October 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 for new awards. The FY 

2022 application incorporates one 

competitive preference priority. 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 request.
