Title of Collection: Study of Enhanced
College Advising in Upward Bound.
OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,400.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 468.
Abstract: The Study of Enhanced
College Advising in Upward Bound will
test the effectiveness of providing
Upward Bound projects with a
professional development package and
tools to provide semi-customized
college advising to students
participating in Upward Bound.
Upward Bound projects will be invited
to volunteer for the demonstration, and
the first 200 projects to volunteer for the
demonstration will be included.
Volunteer projects will be randomly
assigned so that half receive the staff
training, materials, tools, and resources
in the first wave (spring, summer, fall
2015), and the other half will receive the
staff training, materials, tools, and
resources in the second wave (summer
and fall 2016). The study will follow
students who participate in both groups
of projects as 11th graders in the 2014–
2015 school year. The study will
examine the impact of the
demonstration on key outcomes
including college application behavior,
college acceptance and matriculation,
and receipt of financial aid. This first of
two ICRs for the study requests approval
for the overall evaluation design, to
collect 11th grade student rosters at
each participating project in order to
define the evaluation sample, and to
administer the student baseline survey.
A later ICR will request approval for
other data collection, including a Project
Director survey and a follow-up student
survey.

Title of Collection: SURVEY ON THE

A (‘‘IMPROVING TEACHER QUALITY
STATE GRANTS SUBGRANTS TO

OMB Control Number: 1810–0618.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 850.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,850.
Abstract: The Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended, provides funds to districts to
improve the quality of their teaching
and principal force and raise student
achievement. These funds are provided
to districts through Title II, Part A
(Improving Teacher Quality State Grants
Sub grants to Local Educational
Agencies (LEA)). The purpose of this
survey is for the U.S. Department of
Education to have a better
understanding of how districts use these
funds. The survey also collects
information on high-quality professional
development in LEAs. In addition to the
LEA survey, the package also includes
a short survey for State Educational
Agencies (SEA) that provides
information on fiscal year allocations of
Title II, Part A funds made to the LEAs
selected for participation in the LEA
survey.
This OMB clearance request is to
continue these analyses using a similar
data collection instrument and sampling
plan for the 2014–2015 school year and
subsequent years. Minor changes to the
LEA survey are requested. No changes
to the State Educational Agency (SEA)
survey are required.
