data in the desired format. The Department is soliciting comments on

    Title of Collection: Student Support Services Annual Performance 
Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0525.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,181.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 18,129.
    Abstract: Student Support Services (SSS) program grantees must 
submit the Annual Performance Report (APR) annually. The reports are 
used to evaluate grantees' performance for substantial progress, 
respond to Government Performance and Results Act requirements, and 
award prior experience points at the end of each project (budget) 
period. The Department also aggregates the data to provide descriptive 
information on the projects and to analyze the impact of the SSS 
program on the academic progress of participating students.
    Total burden hours have been adjusted to reflect an increase in the 
size of the reporting universe. In addition, the collection has been 
updated to include the Competitive Preference Priorities used in the 
Fiscal Year 2025 competition for new awards. No change in burden is 
associated with this update.

Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy 
Development.
