Abstract: Section 487(c) of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965,
as amended, requires that the Secretary of Education prescribe
regulations to ensure that any funds postsecondary institutions receive
under the HEA are used solely for the purposes specified in and in
accordance with the provision of the applicable programs.
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 proposed in this information collection.
Section 83002(b) of the OBBB established a new academic program in
which eligible students can receive Pell Grants. Programs must meet
several criteria to become eligible workforce programs which the
Department must obtain, review and maintain as outlined in the law and
regulations.
This is a request for a revision of 1845-0012 to add Eligible
Workforce Programs to the Application. There have been no other changes
to the collection since the last ICR approved by OMB on 03/31/2026. All
additional burden currently assessed to this collection remain the
same.
