SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Previously filed under Title and OMB
Number: Help America Vote College
Program Application Kit; 88 FR 47133
(Page: 47133–47134; Document Number:
2023–15506).
Purpose
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on July 21, 2023 and allowed
60 days for public comment as
described above. The purpose of this
notice is to allow 30 days for public
comment from all interested individuals
and organizations. In compliance with
section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, EAC has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for review
and approval of the information
collection listed below. The purpose of
this notice is to allow an additional 30
days for public comment from all
interested individuals and
organizations.
The EAC Office of Grants
Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible
for distributing, monitoring and
providing technical assistance to states
and grantees on the use of federal funds.
EAC/OGM also reports on how the
funds are spent to Congress, negotiates
indirect cost rates with grantees, and
resolves audit findings on the use of
Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA)
funds.
The U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) anticipates the
availability of $1 million dollars in
discretionary grant funding to support
the Help America Vote College Program
(HAVCP). The HAVCP grant
competition is split into two separate
grant programs: the HAVCP Poll Worker
Grant and the HAVCP Service Day MiniGrant. Applicant organizations may
only apply for one of the two programs.
The purpose of the HAVCP Poll Worker
Grant is to encourage college students to

assist state and local governments in the
administration of elections by serving as
nonpartisan poll workers or assistants,
and to encourage jurisdictions to utilize
these efforts. The purpose of the HAVCP
Service Day Mini-Grant is to elevate
civic participation on college campuses
through a day of service and inspire
college students to volunteer their time
and talents to ensure safe, secure,
accessible, and transparent elections.
Each program within the EAC Help
America Vote College Program has a
tailored set of application packages and
progress reports based on the needs and
aims of the program. A list of
documents covered in this information
collection for each program is included
below.
