The Administration seeks to enable
more individuals to obtain job training while receiving
unemployment benefits, so they can develop their skills while the
economy recovers. Therefore states, as third party disseminators,
are strongly encouraged to notify unemployed individuals of their
potential eligibility for Pell Grants.
This third party
dissemination request is to be implemented immediately so that more
individuals may potentially obtain job training while receiving
unemployment benefits, thus developing their skills while the
economy recovers. Therefore the normal PRA review process for
clearing this information dissemination is not an option.
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.
