Summary
The Department of Labor (DOL) Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) is soliciting comments on the information collection request (ICR) for OMB Control No. 1293-0014 Veterans' Employment and Training Service Competitive Grants Programs Reporting, for which VETS proposes to revise the title to the Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program Grant Recipient Reporting. The Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP) is authorized under 38 U.S.C. 2021.

This collection will contain reports submitted by HVRP grant recipients.

Reporting Moves Online to Reduce Burden
If your organization receives Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP) grants, VETS is moving required reporting from static Excel/PDF forms into a single web-based system to reduce administrative burden and enforce required fields. The notice covers about 155 respondents, 659 annual responses, and an estimated 1,890 total annual burden hours; HVRP funds over 150 discretionary grants serving nearly 16,000 veterans and about 40 Stand Down events.
Forms Revised: Fields Added and Removed
VETS is updating the specific HVRP reporting forms (VETS-701 Technical Performance Report, VETS-702 Technical Performance Narrative, and VETS-703 Stand Down After Action Report). Changes include removing or consolidating some data fields, adding new fields such as eligibility status, training types/hours, registered apprenticeships, and planned/expended event costs, and adding automated calculations or auto-generated entries to simplify reporting.
