for institutions which lease property to assist the homeless) have been 
held exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the 1954 Internal 
Revenue Code, and 501(c)(19) for veterans organizations. Transfers are 
made to transferees at little or no cost.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: State and local 
governments and no-profit institutions use these applications to apply 
for excess/surplus, underutilized/unutilized and off-site government

institutions/organizations are eligible to purchase, lease or use 
property under the provisions of the surplus real property program.
    Likely Respondents: State, local, or tribal units of government or 
instrumentalities thereof; not-for-profit organizations.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
