required by 38 U.S.C. 4102A(c)(2)(B)
and as published in regulation at Title

that streamlines the annual funding
request process for grantees, reports the

to allow interim adjustments that ensure
all appropriated funding is expended
properly, and provides data needed for
VETS’ Annual Report to Congress.
The forms and reports collect required
programmatic and financial data from
States requesting and obligating grant
funds. The continued use of
standardized formats for collecting this
information helps to ensure that
requested data is provided in a uniform
way, reporting burdens are minimized,
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents are properly assessed,
collection instruments are clearly
understood by respondents, and the
information is easily consolidated for
posting in accordance with statutory
requirements.
With respect to the continuation of
the approved collection of information,
VETS is particularly interested in
comments on these topics:
(1) Whether the continued collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance and oversight of the
Jobs for Veterans State Grant, including

practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the VETS’
estimate of the burden of the proposed
