ACTION: Final notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This final notice describes and finalizes the procedure, which was previously published in the Federal PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56901 Register on January 19, 2005 (70 FR 3036) as a notice with comment period, for redistribution of States’ unexpended Federal fiscal year (FY) 2002 SCHIP allotments remaining at the end of FY 2004 to those States that fully expended the allotments. These redistributed allotments will be available through the end of FY 2005 (September 30, 2005). DATES: The provisions described in this final notice are effective on September 29, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Strauss, (410) 786–2019. I. Background A. Extension of Availability and Redistribution of SCHIP Fiscal Year 1998 Through 2001 Allotments Title XXI of the Social Security Act (the Act) sets forth the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to enable States, the District of Columbia, and specified Commonwealths and Territories to initiate and expand health insurance coverage to uninsured, lowincome children. In this notice, unless otherwise indicated, the terms ‘‘State’’ and ‘‘States’’ refer to any or all of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealths and Territories. States may implement the SCHIP through a separate child health program under title XXI of the Act, an expanded program under title XIX of the Act, or a combination of both. Under section 2104(e) of the Act, the SCHIP allotments for a Federal fiscal year are available to match expenditures under an approved State child health plan for an initial 3-fiscal year ‘‘period of availability,’’ including the fiscal year for which the allotment was provided. After the initial period of availability, the amount of unspent allotments is reallotted and continues to be available during a subsequent period of availability, specified in SCHIP statute. With the exception described below for the allotments made in FYs 1998 through 2001, allotments that are unexpended at the end of the initial 3year period of availability are redistributed from the States that did not fully spend the allotments to States that fully spent their allotments for that fiscal year. The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA), enacted as part of Pub. L. 106–554 on December 21, 2000, amended title XXI of the Act in part by establishing requirements for a subsequent extended period of availability with respect to the amounts of States’ FY 1998 and FY 1999 allotments that were unspent during the initial 3-year period of availability.
