data to determine if grantees are proceeding in a satisfactory manner 
in meeting the approved goals and objectives of the project, and if 
funding should be continued for another budget period.
    Respondents: All ACF Discretionary Grantees. State governments, 
Native American Tribal governments, Native American Tribal 
Organizations, Local Governments, and Nonprofits with or without
