    Title of Collection: Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement 
Program Annual Performance Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0640.
    Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 206.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,297.
    Abstract: Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement (McNair) 
Program grantees must submit the Annual Performance Report each year. 
The reports are used to evaluate grantees' performance for substantial 
progress, respond to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), 
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 McNair 
Program on the academic progress of participating students.
    In this revision, the Department added two fields, at the project 
level, requesting information on the implementation of the Competitive 
Preference Priorities (CPPs) used in the most recent grant competition. 
The addition of the CPP questions coupled with an increase in the 
number of respondents resulted in a slight increase in total annual 
burden hours.
