provide for high-quality civil legal assistance to low income persons. 
LSC submits an annual budget request directly to Congress and receives 
an annual direct appropriation to carry out its mission. For the 
current fiscal year (FY 2007), LSC received an appropriation of 
$348,578,000, of which $330,760,500 was for basic field programs, 
$2,970,000 was for the Office of Inspector General, $12,743,000 was for 
management and administration; and $2,104,500 was for technology 
initiative grants. Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007,

request has already been submitted to Congress and LSC is awaiting 
Congressional action.)
    As part of its annual budget and appropriation process, LSC 
notifies the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as to what the LSC 
budget request to Congress will be for the next fiscal year. OMB has 
requested this information by September 10 of this year. Accordingly, 
LSC is currently in the process of formulating its FY 2009 budget 
request.
    LSC invites public comment on what its FY 2009 budget request 
should be. Interested parties may submit comments to LSC by September 
1, 2007. More information about LSC can be found at LSC's Web site:
