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

2013, based, in large part, on the
findings from the survey of UB grantees.
