hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. We may not collect or sponsor and you are not required to
respond to, a collection unless it has a valid OMB Control Number. This collection of information is collected under the authority of
38 U.S. Code Sections 8133(a) and 8135(a). VA will use this information, along with other documents submitted by the States to
determine the feasibility of the projects for VA participation, to meet VA requirements for a grant award and to rank the projects in
establishing the annual fiscal year priority list. Although response is voluntary, VA will be unable to authorize a grant without a
complete package. Your failure to furnish this information will have no effect on any of other benefits to which you are entitled.
