processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
Title of Collection: Study of Enhanced College Advising in Upward
Bound.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0912.
Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,835.

[[Page 69651]]

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 885.
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 were invited to volunteer for the demonstration, and
approximately 200 projects that volunteered for the demonstration are
included. Volunteer projects will be randomly assigned so that half
receive the staff training, materials, tools, and resources in the
first wave (spring 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. The first of two ICRs for
the study requested approval for the overall evaluation design, to
collect 11th grade student rosters at each participating project and to
administer the student baseline survey; the first ICR was approved on
8/8/2014. This is the second of two ICRs and requests approval for the
remaining data collection activities, including a project survey, a
follow-up student survey, and administrative records. Three reports
will be produced, with one (expected 2017) reporting on the outcomes
measures prior to high school graduation; a second (expected 2018)
reporting on the results regarding actual college enrollment, college
selectivity and use of Federal financial aid; and a third (expected
2020) reporting results regarding college persistence. The analyses
will be both descriptive (distributions and means) and causal (using
standard regression analyses to estimate impacts).
