Program (Section 510 program) is a formula block grant program, 
authorized through June 30, 2007, by the Tax Relief and Health Care Act 
of 2006.
    The Section 510 Annual Program Application requires basic

Security Act.
    The Section 510 Annual Performance Progress Report includes four 
forms through which grantees report basic performance information, 
which is used by ACF to determine each grantee's compliance with 
Federal law and to review and evaluate each applicant's progress toward 
achieving its goals. Basic performance information includes the 
unduplicated count of clients served, hours of service received by 
clients, program completion data, and communities served.
    Respondents: The 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the 
following 8 Territories: American Samoa, Guam, Republic of the Marshall 
Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and
