The COPS Hiring Recovery Program
(CHRP) progress report is a short report that supplements the OMB
mandated quarterly report for Recovery Act recipients with
information that the COPS Office requires for proper grant
management and performance measurement. Ultimately, the CHRP
progress report will be merged with the already approved COPS
Hiring Progress Report collection, but to meet OMB mandated
timelines on performance measurement, this collection needs to
continue to be a separate collection until the merged report is
completed and approved by OMB.
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.
