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: Implementation
Study of the Ramp Up to Readiness
Program.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0907.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 62,711.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 18,178.
Abstract: This study will examine the
implementation of Ramp-Up to
Readiness, a schoolwide guidance
intervention aimed at increasing the
college readiness of students. The
intervention is at present being
implemented in 34 high schools in
Minnesota, and the developers intend to
make the intervention available to a
much larger set of Minnesota schools.
No independently gathered high-quality
evidence exists, however, on whether
schools are able to implement this
comprehensive intervention as intended
or how its core components compare to
the college-readiness supports in other
high schools. The project for which
OMB clearance is requested will attempt
to gather such evidence from 22 public
Minnesota high schools through the
least burdensome means. The schoollevel implementation study will focus
on assessing whether Ramp-Up school
staff implement the program as
intended, on identifying the extent to
which the Ramp-Up program differs
from the college-readiness supports
offered in schools without Ramp-Up,
and on the validity of a measure of
personal college readiness, which the
developers hypothesize is a key
mechanism through which the program
impacts later outcomes. The study will
collect data from school staff in the
following activities: Administrative data
collection, focus groups in January and
June, extant document collection,
instructional logs, student and staff

10JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 111 / Tuesday, June 10, 2014 / Notices
surveys, and student personal readiness
assessment. The findings produced
through analysis of these data will help
(1) state education agencies seeking
strategies and programs to endorse as a
potential means of improving students
college readiness and college
enrollment, (2) local education agencies
that are considering the challenges of
implementing Ramp-Up, (3) the
developer of this intervention (the
College Readiness Consortium at the
University of Minnesota) and
developers of other college readiness
interventions who continually seek to
improve their programs by using
information from studies like this, and
(4) a group of education stakeholders in
the Midwest interested in considering
whether to conduct a study of the
impacts of the Ramp-Up intervention on
student outcomes.
