VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:38 Feb 12, 2009 Jkt 217001 7255 Grant of Waivers for Grants Under the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 calling the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at 800–877–8339. The states receiving initial allocations under HUD’s Federal Register notice published on December 19, 2003, (73 FR 77818) have, with one exception, requested all the waivers and alternative requirements provided by HUD’s September 11, 2008, Federal Register notice (73 FR 52870), and HUD is granting them. The exception is the State of Minnesota, which did not request the waivers that would allow it to carry out activities directly or to facilitate flood buyouts. Those waivers and alternative requirements, therefore, do not apply to Minnesota’s grant; all the others do. Dated: February 10, 2009. Shaun Donovan, Secretary. [FR Doc. E9–3216 Filed 2–11–09; 11:15 am] Duration of Funding Availability of funds provisions in 31 U.S.C. 1551–1557, added by section 1405 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (Pub. L. 101–510), limit the availability of certain appropriations for expenditure. This limitation may not be waived. However, the Second 2008 Act for these grants directs that these funds be available until expended unless, in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 1555, HUD determines that the purposes for which the appropriation has been made have been carried out and no disbursement has been made against the appropriation for 2 consecutive fiscal years. In such a case, HUD shall close out the grant prior to expenditure of all funds.
