ORR has been identifying additional
capacity to provide shelter for potential
increases in apprehensions of UC at the
U.S. Southern Border. Planning for
increased shelter capacity is a prudent
step to ensure that ORR is able to meet
its responsibility, by law, to provide
shelter for Unaccompanied Children
referred to its care by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
The expansion supplement grants will
support the need to increase shelter
capacity to accommodate the increasing
numbers of UCs being referred by DHS.
All grantees have the infrastructure,

licensing, experience and appropriate
level of trained staff to meet the service
requirements and the urgent need for
expansion of services. The grantees
provide residential services to UC in the
care and custody of ORR, as well as
services to include counseling, case
management, and additional support
services to the family or to the UC and
their sponsor when a UC is released
from ORR’s care and custody.
ORR has specific requirements for the
provision of services. Award recipients

trained staff to meet those requirements.
The expansion of the existing program
and its services through this
supplemental award is a key strategy for
ORR to be prepared to meet its
responsibility to provide shelter for UC
referred to its care by DHS and so that
the U.S. Border Patrol can continue its
vital national security mission to
prevent illegal migration and trafficking,
and to protect the borders of the United
States.

from the fiscal year (FY) 2016 Low
Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP) are available for
SUMMARY:
reallotment to states, territories, tribes,
and tribal organizations that received
FY 2017 direct LIHEAP grants. No
subgrantees or other entities may apply
for these funds.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
July 19, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted to: J. Janelle George, Acting
Director, Office of Community Services,
330 C Street SW., 5th Floor, Mail Room

email: lauren.christopher@acf.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
2607(b)(1) of the Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Act (the Act), (42
U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)) requires that, if the
Secretary of HHS determines that, as of
September 1 of any fiscal year, an
amount in excess of 10 percent of the
amount awarded to a grantee for that
fiscal year (excluding Leveraging and
REACH funds) will not be used by the
grantee during that fiscal year, then the
Secretary must notify the grantee and
publish a notice in the Federal Register
that such funds may be reallotted to
LIHEAP grantees during the following
fiscal year. If reallotted, the LIHEAP
block grant allocation formula will be
used to distribute the funds. No funds
may be allotted to entities that are not
direct LIHEAP grantees during FY 2017.
It has been determined that
$3,253,866 in LIHEAP funds may be
available for reallotment during FY
2017. This determination is based on FY
2016 Carryover and Reallotment
Reports, which showed that 15 grantees
reported reallotment funds (State of
Arkansas, Association of Village
Council Presidents, Cocopah Tribe of
Arizona, Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians, State of Georgia, Hoh Indian
Tribe, Kalispel Indian Community of the
Kalispel Reservation, Oglala Sioux
Tribe, Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant
27835
Point, Poarch Band of Creeks, Quinault
Indian Nation, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of
Chippewa Indians, The Chickasaw
Nation, Three Affiliated Tribes of the Ft.
Berthold Reservation, and the State of
Vermont). Grantees submitted the FY
2016 Carryover and Reallotment Reports
to OCS, as required by regulations
applicable to LIHEAP at 45 CFR
96.81(b).
The LIHEAP statute allows grantees
who have funds unobligated at the end
of the federal fiscal year for which they
are awarded to request that they be
allowed to carry over up to 10 percent
of their full-year allotments to the next
federal fiscal year. Funds in excess of
this amount must be returned to HHS
and are subject to reallotment under
section 2607(b)(1) of the Act (42 U.S.C.
8626(b)(1)). The amount described in
this notice was reported by grantees as
unobligated FY 2016 funds in excess of
the amount that these grantees could
carry over to FY 2017.
In accordance with section 2607(b)(3)
of the Act (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(3)),
comments will be accepted for a period
of 30 days from the date of publication
of this notice.
After considering any comments
submitted, all current LIHEAP grantees
will be notified of the final reallotment
amount redistributed to them for
obligation in FY 2017. This decision
will be published in an Information
Memorandum that gets posted to ACF’s
Web site.
If funds are reallotted, they will be
allocated in accordance with section
2604 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 8623) and
must be treated by LIHEAP grantees
receiving them as an amount
appropriated for FY 2017. As FY 2017
funds, they will be subject to all
requirements of the Act, including
section 2607(b)(2) (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)),
which requires that a grantee obligate at
least 90 percent of its total block grant
allocation for a fiscal year by the end of
the fiscal year for which the funds are
appropriated, that is, by September 30,
2017.
