AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice announces the estimated median income for fourperson families in each State and the District of Columbia for FFY 2006 (October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006). LIHEAP grantees may adopt the State median income estimates beginning with the date of this publication of the estimates in the Federal Register or at a later date as discussed below. This means that LIHEAP grantees could choose to implement this notice during the period between the heating and cooling seasons. However, by October 1, 2005, or by the beginning of a grantee’s fiscal year, whichever is later, LIHEAP grantees using State median income estimates must adjust their income eligibility criteria to be in accord with the FFY 2006 State median income estimates. This listing of estimate State median incomes provides one of the maximum income criteria that LIHEAP grantees may use in determining a household’s income eligibility for LIHEAP. EFFECTIVE DATE: The estimates are effective at any time between the date of this publication and October 1, 2005, or by the beginning of a LIHEAP grantee’s fiscal year, whichever is later.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of section 2603(11) of Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (Pub. L. 97– 35, as amended), we are announcing the estimated median income of a fourperson family for each State, the District of Columbia, and the United States for FFY 2006 (the period of October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006). Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the LIHEAP statute provides that 60 percent of the median income for each State, as annually established by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, is one of the income criteria that LIHEAP grantees may use in determining a household’s eligibility for LIHEAP. LIHEAP is authorized through the end of FFY 2004 by the Coats Human Services Reauthorization Act of 1998, Public Law 105–285, which was enacted on October 27, 1998. The LIHEAP program continues to operate with reauthorization legislation currently pending in Congress. Estimates of the median income for a four-person family for each State and the District of Columbia for FFY 2006 have been developed by the Census Bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce, using the most recently available income data. In developing the median income estimates for FFY 2006, the Census Bureau used the following three sources of data: (1) The Current Population Survey’s 2004 Annual Social and Economic Supplement File; (2) the 2000 Decennial Census of Population; and (3) 2003 per capita personal income estimates, by State, from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. For further information on the estimating method and data sources, contact the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division, at the Census Bureau (302–763–3243). For information on recent U.S. income trends go to: https://www.census.gov/ prod/2004pubs/p60-226.pdf. A state-by-state listing of median income, and 60 percent of median income, for a four-person family for FFY 2006 follows: The listing describes the method for adjusting median income for families of different sizes as specified in regulations applicable to LIHEAP, at 45 CFR 96.85(b), which was published in the Federal Register on March 3, 1988 at 53 FR 6824.

Note—FFY 2006 covers the period of October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006. The estimated median income for a four-person family living in the United States is $65,093 for FFY 2006. The estimates are effective for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) at any time between the date of this publication and October 1, 2005, or by the beginning of a LIHEAP grantee’s fiscal year, whichever is later. 1 In accordance with 45 CFR 96.85, each State’s estimated median income for a four-person family is multiplied by the following percentages to adjust for family size: 52% for one person, 68% for two persons, 84% for three persons, 100% for four persons, 116% for five persons, and 132% for six persons. For each additional family member above six persons, add 3% to the percentage for a six-person family (132%), and multiply the new percentage by the State’s estimated median income for a four-person family. 2 Prepared by the Census Bureau from the Current Population Survey’s 2004 Annual Social and Economic Supplement File, 2000 Decennial Census of Population and Housing, and 2003 per capita personal income estimates, by State, from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of section 2603(11) of 
Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (Pub. L. 
97-35, as amended), we are announcing the estimated median income of a 
four-person family for each State, the District of Columbia, and the 
United States for FFY 2006 (the period of October 1, 2005, through 
September 30, 2006).
    Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the LIHEAP statute provides that 60 
percent of the median income for each State, as annually established by 
the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, is one of 
the income criteria that LIHEAP grantees may use in determining a 
household's eligibility for LIHEAP.
    LIHEAP is authorized through the end of FFY 2004 by the Coats Human 
Services Reauthorization Act of 1998, Public Law 105-285, which was 
enacted on October 27, 1998. The LIHEAP program continues to operate 
with reauthorization legislation currently pending in Congress.
    Estimates of the median income for a four-person family for each 
State and the District of Columbia for FFY 2006 have been developed by 
the Census Bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce, using the most 
recently available income data. In developing the median income 
estimates for FFY 2006, the Census Bureau used the following three 
sources of data: (1) The Current Population Survey's 2004 Annual Social 
and Economic Supplement File; (2) the 2000 Decennial Census of 
Population; and (3) 2003 per capita personal income estimates, by 
State, from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. 
Department of Commerce.
    For further information on the estimating method and data sources, 
contact the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division, at the 
Census Bureau (302-763-3243). For information on recent U.S. income 
trends go to: https://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/p60-226.pdf.
    A state-by-state listing of median income, and 60 percent of median 
income, for a four-person family for FFY 2006 follows: The listing 
describes the method for adjusting median income for families of 
different sizes as specified in regulations applicable to LIHEAP, at 45 
CFR 96.85(b), which was published in the Federal Register on March 3, 
1988 at 53 FR 6824.

Note--FFY 2006 covers the period of October 1, 2005 through September
  30, 2006. The estimated median income for a four-person family living
  in the United States is $65,093 for FFY 2006. The estimates are
  effective for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
  at any time between the date of this publication and October 1, 2005,
  or by the beginning of a LIHEAP grantee's fiscal year, whichever is
  later.
\1\ In accordance with 45 CFR 96.85, each State's estimated median
  income for a four-person family is multiplied by the following
  percentages to adjust for family size: 52% for one person, 68% for two
  persons, 84% for three persons, 100% for four persons, 116% for five
  persons, and 132% for six persons. For each additional family member
  above six persons, add 3% to the percentage for a six-person family
  (132%), and multiply the new percentage by the State's estimated
  median income for a four-person family.
\2\ Prepared by the Census Bureau from the Current Population Survey's
  2004 Annual Social and Economic Supplement File, 2000 Decennial Census
  of Population and Housing, and 2003 per capita personal income
  estimates, by State, from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). For
  further information, contact the Housing and Household Economic
  Statistics Division at the Census Bureau (301-763-3243).
