    Abstract of Proposed Collection: The proposed study will develop 
and further the Department of Labor's understanding of the traits and 
characteristics of programs which provide employment and training 
services for homeless veterans. Comparing results of different grantee 
models (both urban and non-urban) will assist the Department with 
performance outcome comparisons across grantees and identification of 
best practices. This questionnaire asks for opinions, reactions, and 
thoughts regarding the HVRP program.
    Methodology: The collection of information will utilize a web-based 
survey design. Alternatively, participants will be able to complete the 
survey using a paper-based version if they prefer such a format. A 
paper copy of the survey will be mailed to participants who request a 
paper based format and will include a postage paid return envelope for 
submission.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 8th day of August 2008.
Charles S. Ciccolella,
Assistant Secretary, Veterans Employment and Training Service.
