Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well

time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
that it will take the approximately 200 respondents (LAV Program
grantees) approximately one hour to complete a semi-annual progress

engage. An LAV Program grantee will only be required to complete the
sections of the form that pertain to its own specific activities.

with the collection: It is estimated that it will take the
approximately 200 respondents (LAV Program grantees) approximately one

only be required to complete the sections of the form that pertain to
its own specific activities.

forms is 400 hours, that is 200 grantees completing a form twice a year
