Proposed Project 1 Financial Summary of Obligation and Expenditure of Block Grant Funds (45 CFR 96.30)-0990-0236-Public Law 101-510 amended 31 U.S.C. Chapter 15 to provide that, by the end of the fifth fiscal year after the fiscal year in which the Federal government obligated the funds, the account will be canceled. If valid charges to a canceled account are presented after cancellation, they may be honored only by charging them to a current appropriation account, not to exceed an amount equal to 1 percent of the total appropriations of that account. Because of the need to determine the status of grant accounts to comply with this statutory provision, we have determined that it is appropriate to require an annual report on obligations and/or expenditures from all grantees under the block grant programs. *Respondents:* State, local or tribal Government. *Reporting Burden Information:* *Number of Respondents:* 620; *Annual Frequency of Response:* one time; *Average Burden per Response:* one hour; *Total Annual Burden:* 620 hours. Send comments via e-mail to *Geerie.Jones@HHS.gov,* or mail to Cynthia Agens Bauer, OS Reports Clearance Officer, Room 503H, Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC, 20201. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice. Dated: February 14, 2002. Kerry Weems, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Budget. [FR Doc. 02-4799 Filed 2-27-02; 8:45 am]
