jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
and would not be inconsistent with the
overall purpose of the statute. The
Secretary finds that the additional
alternative requirement outlined below
is necessary to expedite the use of these
funds for their required purposes.
Formula: Reallocation
Section I.B of the May 5, 2009, Notice
stated that if a unit of general local
government, State, or Insular Area
receiving an allocation of CDBG–R
funds under that notice fails to submit
a substantial amendment to its program
year 2008 action plan for its grant
allocation by the deadlines specified in
Section II.A.4. of the Notice, or submits
an application for less than the total
allocation amount, or if HUD is unable
to approve any entity’s submission,
HUD may notify the jurisdiction of the
cancellation of all or part of its
allocation amount. The Notice further
states that once HUD determines the
amount of funds (if any) that are not
awarded to any jurisdictions, the
Secretary will establish criteria by
which to award such funds to other
entities, and the criteria will be
published in the Federal Register. The
Notice indicated that these criteria will
be established only if funds become
available for reallocation.
Fairbanks, Alaska is the only grantee
that declined to apply for its CDBG–R
funding. Every other grantee submitted
a substantial amendment to its action
plan for its full allocation amount, and
each is likely to be awarded its funds.
Fairbanks was a grantee under the
regular annual CDBG Entitlement
program through Federal Fiscal Year
(FFY) 2008, but starting in FY 2009,
Fairbanks relinquished its status as an
entitlement community in order to
participate in the State of Alaska CDBG
program. The City declined to apply for
its CDBG–R funds in part because of the
small amount of funds involved and in
part because it is discontinuing its
participation in the CDBG Entitlement
program.
Fairbanks’ formula allocation of
CDBG–R funds was one of the 50
smallest allocations in the program (out
of nearly 1,200). Its allocation amount
was $67,436. The amount of CDBG–R
funds that are available for reallocation
is a tiny fraction of the CDBG–R funds
distributed to states and local
governments (less than .007 percent of
the appropriation).
The Department has determined that
it is necessary to employ an alternative
reallocation process in order to expedite
the timely use of these reallocated
funds. Under 42 U.S.C. 5306(c), any
unawarded CDBG Entitlement funds are
to be reallocated in the next fiscal year
VerDate Nov<24>2008

to other metropolitan cities or counties
in the same metropolitan area that
would be adversely affected by the loss
of the funds. If there is no such other
city or county in that metropolitan area,
as is the case with Fairbanks, the funds
are to be reallocated in the next fiscal
year among all Entitlement grantees
nationwide. Under the existing
provisions of 42 U.S.C. 5306(c), this
money would be reallocated as part of
the process for allocating the next fiscal
year’s appropriation of regular CDBG
funding, sometime in FFY 2010.
Reallocating the small amount of
funds involved to almost 1,200
Entitlement grantees according to the
regular CDBG reallocation method
would impose a substantial
administrative burden on both HUD and
grantees. Delaying the reallocation of
these funds until the next FFY would
also cut into the time the eventual
recipient has to expend funds before the
September 30, 2012, expenditure
deadline. The Department has further
determined that it would not be time- or
cost-effective to develop a formal
process and set of selection criteria for
awarding these funds to other grantees
on a competitive basis. Most CDBG–R
grantees have just begun to implement
their programs, and no meaningful data
are yet available on which to judge the
relative performance of grantees. HUD
believes it would be inconsistent with
the purposes and requirements of the
Recovery Act to wait for performance
data to become available before
establishing a reallocation process. Such
a delay would be counter to the
Recovery Act’s intent to produce an
immediate economic stimulus.
Weighing the fact that the reallocated
funds were designated for Fairbanks,
Alaska, which has now ceased its
participation in the Entitlement CDBG
program to instead participate in the
State program, the need for economic
stimulus in Alaska, and the
governmental interest in putting these
funds to expeditious use, the Secretary
finds good cause to waive the existing
requirements in order to reallocate
$67,436 in unawarded CDBG–R funds to
the State of Alaska. This additional
increment of funding equals less than 10
percent of the State of Alaska’s initial
allocation of CDBG–R funds.
