Type of Review: New ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 100.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,600.
Abstract: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed into law on
July 4, 2025, made statutory changes to Federal Pell Grants that impact
regulatory requirements in this information collection. Section
83002(b) of the OBBB established a new academic program in which
eligible students could receive Pell Grants. Programs must meet several
criteria to become eligible workforce programs, including certification
from their State Governor. This is a request for a new information
collection to develop a form for States to certify an institution's
eligibility for eligible workforce programs. This would be an optional
form which includes the required elements and is being offered for ease
of requirements for State reported information.
Ross Santy,
Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy
Development.
