The purpose of this information collection is accountability for program implementation and student outcomes for the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). The information collected enables the U.S. Department of Education to demonstrate its progress in meeting the GEAR UP performance objectives as reflected in the indicators.
The change in burden is due to an increase in the number of Gear Up grantees, from 316 in FY 2003, to 328 in FY 2006 and the fact that it is now submitted electronically. The number of hours per grantee to complete the Annual Performance Report was reduced by one hour as the electronic version totals all federal and non-federal budget information.
