information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: An estimation of the total number of 
hours needed to prepare the forms for each grant application is 5 
minutes per response, however, the burden will be assessed against each 
individual grant program submission under the Paperwork Reduction Act; 
number of respondents is 33,000, frequency of response is on the 
occasion of application for benefits. An estimation of the total number 
of hours needed to prepare the forms for each grant application is
