assistance under section 117 of Perkins
V. We also believe that the benefits of
implementing the proposed
requirements and definitions justify any
associated costs.
The Department believes that the
proposed application requirements
would help to ensure that: Only
institutions eligible for assistance under
section 117 of the Act receive such
assistance; grants provided under
section 117 of the Act are awarded only
for allowable, reasonable, and necessary
costs; and eligible applicants consider
carefully in preparing their applications
how the grants may be used to improve
career and technical education programs
and the outcomes of the students who
enroll in them. The program
requirements and related definitions are
necessary to ensure that taxpayer funds
are expended appropriately.
The Department further believes that
the costs imposed on an applicant by
the proposed requirements and
definitions would be largely limited to
the paperwork burden related to
meeting the application requirements
and that the benefits of preparing an
application and receiving an award
would justify any costs incurred by the
applicant. Entities selected for awards
under section 117 of the Act would be
able to pay the costs associated with
implementing the program requirements
related to student stipends with grant
funds. Thus, the costs of these proposed
requirements and definitions would not
be a significant burden for any eligible
applicant.
Elsewhere in this section under
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we
identify and explain burdens
specifically associated with information
collection requirements.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA): These proposed requirements
and definitions do not contain any
information collection requirements
subject to the PRA. The Department is
aware of fewer than nine tribally
controlled postsecondary career and
technical institutions that meet the
eligibility requirements of section 117 of
the Act and could thus be expected to
apply in a response to a notice inviting
applications. Information collection
requirements imposed on nine or fewer
individuals or entities are not subject to
the PRA.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Certification: The Secretary certifies that
this proposed regulatory action would
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities. The U.S. Small Business
Administration Size Standards define
‘‘small entities’’ as for-profit or
nonprofit institutions with total annual
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
revenue below $7,000,000 or, if they are
institutions controlled by small
governmental jurisdictions (that are
comprised of cities, counties, towns,
townships, villages, school districts, or
special districts), with a population of
less than 50,000.
The small entities that this proposed
regulatory action would affect are
institutions of higher education. We
believe that the costs imposed on an
applicant by the proposed requirements
and definitions would be limited to
paperwork burden related to preparing
an application and that the benefits of
implementing these proposed
requirements and definitions would
outweigh any costs incurred by the
applicant.
Participation in TCPCTIP is
voluntary. For this reason, the proposed
application requirements would impose
no burden on small entities unless they
applied for funding under TCPCTIP. We
expect that in determining whether to
apply for TCPCTIP funds, an eligible
entity would evaluate the requirements
of preparing an application and any
associated costs, and weigh them
against the benefits likely to be achieved
by receiving a TCPCTIP grant. An
eligible entity would probably apply
only if it determines that the likely
benefits exceed the costs of preparing an
application. The likely benefits of
applying for a TCPCTIP grant include
the potential receipt of a grant as well
as other benefits that may accrue to an
entity through its development of an
application, such as the identification of
long- and short-range plans for the
institution and its career and technical
education programs. Additionally,
proposed application requirement (a),
which would direct applicants to
document their eligibility under section
117 of the Act, would focus the
attention of all prospective applicants
on the eligibility requirements in
section 117 of the Act and help
discourage entities that do not meet
them from incurring the time and
expense of preparing a full application.
The costs of meeting the other proposed
requirements related to student stipends
could be paid with grant funds and
entities that do not receive a grant
would not be required to meet them.
We believe that the proposed
requirements and definitions would not
impose any additional burden on a
small entity applying for a grant than
the entity would face in the absence of
the proposed action. That is, the length
of the applications those entities would
submit in the absence of the proposed
regulatory action and the time needed to
prepare an application would likely be
the same.

This proposed regulatory action
would not have a significant economic
impact on a small entity once it receives
a grant because it would be able to meet
the costs of compliance using the funds
provided under this program. We invite
comments from small eligible entities as
to whether they believe this proposed
regulatory action would have a
significant economic impact on them
and, if so, request evidence to support
that belief.

regulations governing private education
loans offered at covered institutions.
These regulations assure the Secretary
that the integrity of the program is
protected from fraud and misuse of
program funds and places requirements
on institutions and lenders to ensure
that borrowers receive additional
disclosures about Title IV, HEA program
assistance prior to obtaining a private
education loan. The Department is
submitting the unchanged Private
Education Loan Applicant SelfCertification for OMB’s continued
approval. While information about the
applicant’s cost of attendance and
estimated financial assistance must be
provided to the student, if available, the
student will provide the data to the
private loan lender who must collect
and maintain the self-certification form
prior to disbursement of a Private
Education Loan. The Department will
not receive the Private Education Loan
Applicant Self-Certification form and
therefore will not be collecting and
maintaining the form or its data.
