IMPENDING LEGAL ACTIVITIES (INJUNCTION
AGAINST REQUIRING PROOF OF REGISTRATION AS A PRE-REQUISITE TO
RECEIVING CERTAIN FINANCIAL AID) MAKES IT IMPERATIVE THAT WE BEGIN
THIS SURVEY IMMEDIATELY. ONE ISSUE CENTRAL TO THE LEGAL CONTEST IS
THE CONTENTION THAT THE SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM CANNOT RESPOND IN
A TIMELY FASHION TO REQUESTS FOR EVIDENCE OF REGISTRATION BY THOSE
REGISTRANTS SEEKING FINANCIAL AID.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
