DOL proposes to seek continued approval for this collection of information for an additional three years. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

accounting for the public burden associated with grant applications

to perform the functions of the grant, applicants are generally 
required to submit a two-part application. The first part of DOL's
