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

Paperwork Reduction Act; number of respondents is 33,000, frequency of 
response is on the occasion of application for benefits.
