This program was designed to recognize
current HBCU students for their dedication to academics, leadership
and civic engagement. Nominees were asked to submit a nomination
package containing a signed nomination form, unofficial
transcripts, short essay, resume, and endorsement letter. Items in
this package provide the tools necessary to select current HBCU
students who are excelling academically and making differences in
their community.
This is a revision of a
previously approved information collection request since changes in
language were made to the application and instructions. There is no
change in burden hours as a result of those changes. However, there
are changes in burden and responses due to an adjustment to more
accurately reflect an increase in applications received. This
results in an increase in responses and burden of 198 responses and
353 hours. The total number of burden and responses is 720 hours
and 303 responses.
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.
