Services awards grants each fiscal year to each of the States, the 
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin

established by Public Law 101-645, 42 U.S.C. 290cc-21 et seq., the 
Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act of 1990 (section 
521 et seq. of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act). Section 522 of the

their payments under the Act solely for making grants to political

provision of section 524 of the PHS Act.
    This submission is for extension and revision of the current

changes are being made to response choices within a few items. Section 
528 of the PHS Act specifies that not later than January 31 of each 
fiscal year, a funded entity will prepare and submit a report in such 
form and containing such information as is determined necessary for 
securing a record and description of the purposes for which amounts 
received under section 521 were expended during the preceding fiscal 
year and of the recipients of such amounts and determining whether such 
amounts were expended in accordance with statutory provisions.
    The estimated annual burden for these reporting requirements is
