**(1)** **In general** Except as provided in paragraph (4), for each fiscal year for which a grant or subgrant is awarded under this subchapter, each State or specially qualified unit of local government that receives such a grant shall submit to the Attorney General a grant report, and each unit of local government that receives such a subgrant shall submit to the State a subgrant report, at such time and in such manner as the Attorney General may reasonably require.

**(2)** **Grant report** Each grant report required by paragraph (1) shall include—

**(A)** a summary of the activities carried out with such grant;

**(4)** **Waivers** The Attorney General may waive the requirement of an assessment in paragraph (2)(C) for a State or specially qualified unit of local government, or in paragraph (3)(B) for a unit of local government, if the Attorney General determines that—

**(A)** the nature of the activities are such that assessing their effectiveness would not be practical or insightful;

**(B)** the amount of the grant or subgrant is such that carrying out the assessment would not be an effective use of those amounts; or

**(C)** the resources available to the State or unit are such that carrying out the assessment would pose a financial hardship on the State or unit.

**(b)** **Reports to Congress** Not later than 120 days after the last day of each fiscal year for which 1 or more grants are awarded under this subchapter, the Attorney General shall submit to Congress a report, which shall include—
