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—

(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—

(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.
