Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved

Abstract: The Department is requesting an extension of the
application used to make new grants under the Upward Bound (UB)
Program. This application will be used to conduct the Fiscal Year (FY)
2027 competition for new awards and collect data under the UB Program.
The UB Program provides grants to institutions of higher education,
public and private agencies and organizations, community-based
organizations with experience in serving disadvantaged youth,
combinations of such institutions, agencies and organizations, and
secondary schools. Upward Bound provides fundamental support to
participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program
provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege
performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward
Bound serves: high school students from low-income families; and high
school students from families in which neither parent holds a
bachelor's degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at
which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and
graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.
This discretionary grant falls under the streamlined grant process,
1894-0001, which waives the 60-day comment period (Pub. L. 104-13, sec.
3505(a)(2)).
This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance
Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001).
Therefore, the 30-day public comment
[[Page 80549]]
period notice will be the only public comment notice published for this
information collection.
Dated: September 30, 2024.
Kun Mullan,
PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
Evaluation and Policy Development.
