SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 2391(d) of Title 10, United States 
Code (10 U.S.C. 2391), authorizes the Secretary of Defense to, ``make 
grants, conclude cooperative agreements, and supplement funds available 
under Federal programs administered by agencies other than the 
Department of Defense, for projects owned by a State or local 
government, or a not-for-profit, member-owned utility service to 
address deficiencies in community infrastructure supportive of a 
military installation.'' This information collection supports the 
awarding of grants under the Defense Community Infrastructure Program. 
The criteria established for the selection of community infrastructure 
projects will likely reflect projects consisting of some combination of 
attributes that will enhance: (i) Military value; (ii) military 
installation resilience; and/or, (iii) military family quality of life 
at a military installation. The Consolidated Appropriations Act for 
Fiscal Year 2021 (PL 116-260) provides $60 million to the Office of 
Local Defense Community Cooperation for this program, and these funds 
expire if they are not obligated prior to September 30, 2021.
