Title of Collection: Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) Program Annual
Performance Report.
OMB Control Number: 1840-0832.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments;
private sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 62.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,054.
Abstract: All Veterans Upward Bound projects must provide
instruction in mathematics through pre-calculus, laboratory science,
foreign language, composition, and literature. Projects may also
provide short-term remedial or refresher courses for veterans who are
high school graduates but have delayed pursuing postsecondary
education. Projects are also expected to assist veterans in securing
support services from other locally available resources such as the
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans' associations, and other
state and local agencies that serve veterans.
The Department's annual performance report (APR) for VUB collects
each current grantee's data at the participant level on services and
performance over the course of a year. The Department uses the
information conveyed in the performance report to assess a grantee's
progress in meeting its approved goals and objectives and to evaluate a
grantee's prior experience in accordance with the program regulations
in 34 CFR 645.32. Grantees' annual performance reports also provide
information on the outcomes of projects' work and of the VUB program as
a whole. In addition, APR data allows the Department to respond to the
reporting requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act.
The APR has been updated to include questions related to the
Competitive Preference Priorities used in the most recent competition.
These questions are not expected to affect the total burden hours per
response.

Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
