SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This request pertains the collection of

is necessary for the proper oversight of discretionary grant funds 
administered by the Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and

discretionary grants fund over 160 homeless veterans' reintegration 
projects that serve over 17,000 veterans experiencing homelessness, 
veterans at-risk of homelessness, and incarcerated veterans annually. 
The discretionary grant funds are also used to fund over 30 Stand Down 
events annually. For additional substantive information about this ICR, 
see the related notice published in the Federal Register on July 25, 
2023 (88 FR 47918).

generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid 
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions 
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to 
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
