compute the amount of the quarterly awards based on documents submitted 

by the State agency in accordance with this section and such other 

pertinent facts as the Director may find necessary.

    (b) Form and manner of State application for grant award--(1) CMA 

grants. For quarterly grants for cash assistance, medical assistance, 

and related administrative costs, including assistance and services to 

unaccompanied minors (``CMA grants''), a State must submit to the 

Director, or designee, yearly estimates for reimbursable costs for the 

fiscal year, identified by type of expense, and a justification 

statement in support of the estimates no later than 45 days prior to the 

beginning of the fiscal year in accordance with guidelines prescribed by 

the Director.

    (2) Grants for refugee social services. For quarterly grants for 

refugee social services, a State must submit to the Director, or 

designee, an annual plan developed on the basis of local consultative 

process on a form and at a time prescribed by the Director.

    (3) Quarterly adjustments. If a State revises its estimates required 

in paragraph (b)(1), it must submit to the Director, or designee, the 

revisions, accompanied by a justification statement, no later than 30 

days prior to the beginning of the quarter in which the revision or 

adjustment applies.

    (c) Financial status report. A State must submit to the Director, or 

designee, a financial status report described in Sec.  74.73(a) of this 

title, no later than 30 days after the end of each quarter. Final 

financial reports must be submitted in accordance with the requirements 

described in Sec.  400.210.

    (d) Review. ORR will determine whether the State's description of 

services, estimates, other relevant information, and any adjustments to 

be made for prior periods meet the requirements under this part, and 

will compute the quarterly award.

    (e) Grant award. (1) ORR will transmit to the State the grant award 

form showing, by type of assistance, the amount of the award.

    (2) The State may draw funds, under the Department's Payment 

Management System (PMS), as needed, to meet the Federal share of 

disbursements.
