Approval is sought for a follow-up
survey to be conducted as part of Project GATE. Project GATE is a
demonstration program designed to assist individuals interested in
self-employment to develop their businesses. To determine whether
the program should be replicated on a larger scale, an evaluation
will be conducted. Persons interested in Project GATE and who meet
the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to either a
program or a control group. Members of both groups will be surveyed
twice. A survey is the only way to collect information on
self-employment services, and household income.
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 proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
