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. The Department of Education (Department) is requesting approval of a non-substantive change. The update made in the SSS annual performance report involves changes to a single field (Section II, field 8) pursuant to Executive Order "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" (January 20, 2025).

Short Statement:
There is an increase in burden hours largely due to an increase of 92 respondents. There is also a small increase in burden due to an additional field that was added to address the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, provision under §1070a–18. Reports, evaluations, and grants for project improvement and dissemination. This provision requires the Secretary to report comparable data on the performance of not only first-generation and low-income students but also on students with disabilities.
