ACTION: Notice of State median income estimates for FFY 2011. SUMMARY: This notice announces to LIHEAP grantees the estimated median income of four-person families in each State and the District of Columbia for FFY 2011 (October 1, 2010, to September 30, 2011). LIHEAP grantees that choose to base their income eligibility criteria on these State median income estimates may adopt these estimates (up to 60 percent) on the estimates’ date of publication in the Federal Register or on a later date as discussed below. This enables these grantees to implement this notice during the period between the heating and cooling seasons. However, by October 1, 2010, or the beginning of the grantees’ fiscal years, whichever is later, these grantees must adjust their income eligibility criteria so that such criteria are in accord with the FFY 2011 State median income estimates. This listing of 60 percent of estimated State median incomes provides one of the maximum income criteria that LIHEAP grantees may use in determining a household’s income eligibility for LIHEAP. DATES: Effective Date: For each LIHEAP grantee, these estimates become effective at any time between their date of publication in the Federal Register PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and the later of October 1, 2010, or the beginning of that grantee’s fiscal year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of section 2603(11) of Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law (Pub. L.) 97–35, as amended, HHS announces the estimated median income of four-person families for each State, the District of Columbia, and the United States for FFY 2011 (October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011). Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of this Act provides that 60 percent of the median income for each State and the District of Columbia (State median income, or SMI), as annually established by the Secretary 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 was last authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109–58, which was enacted on August 8, 2005. This authorization expired on September 30, 2007, and reauthorization remains pending. The SMI estimates that HHS publishes in this notice are three-year estimates derived from the American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau). HHS obtained these estimates directly from the Census Bureau. For additional information about the ACS State median income estimates, see https://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ income/medincsizeandstate.html. For additional information about the ACS in general, see https://www.census.gov/acs/ www/ or contact the Census Bureau’s Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division at (301) 763–3243. Under the advice of the Census Bureau, HHS switched to three-year estimates rather than single-year estimates to reduce the large year-toyear fluctuations that the single-year estimates tend to generate for certain States and the District of Columbia. The change from the single-year to threeyear estimates caused the FFY 2010 estimates to drop by about two percent on average. HHS plans to use the Census Bureau’s ACS-derived SMI three-year estimates for all fiscal years after 2010. For further information about ACS oneyear and three-year estimates, see https://factfinder.census.gov/jsp/saff/ E:\FR\FM\12MYN1.SGM 12MYN1 26781 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 12, 2010 / Notices SAFFInfo.jsp?_content =acs_guidance.html. The State median income estimates, like those derived from any survey, are subject to two types of errors: (1) Nonsampling Error, which consists of random errors that increase the variability of the data and non-random errors that consistently direct the data into a specific direction; and (2) Sampling Error, which consists of the error that arises from the use of probability sampling to create the sample. For additional information about the accuracy of the ACS State median income estimates, see https:// www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/ ACS/accuracy2005-2007.pdf. A State-by-State listing of SMI and 60 percent of SMI for a four-person family for FFY 2011 follows. The listing describes the method for adjusting SMI for families of different sizes as specified in regulations applicable to LIHEAP, at 45 CFR 96.85(b), which were published in the Federal Register on March 3, 1988, at 53 FR 6824 and amended on October 15, 1999, at 64 FR 55858.

State Median Income Estimate for a Four-Person Family: Notice of
the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2011 State Median Income Estimates for
Use Under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number 93.568) Administered by
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration
for Children and Families, Office of Community Services, Division of
Energy Assistance

AGENCY: Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community
Services, Division of Energy Assistance, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of State median income estimates for FFY 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces to LIHEAP grantees the estimated median
income of four-person families in each State and the District of
Columbia for FFY 2011 (October 1, 2010, to September 30, 2011). LIHEAP
grantees that choose to base their income eligibility criteria on these
State median income estimates may adopt these estimates (up to 60
percent) on the estimates' date of publication in the Federal Register
or on a later date as discussed below. This enables these grantees to
implement this notice during the period between the heating and cooling
seasons. However, by October 1, 2010, or the beginning of the grantees'
fiscal years, whichever is later, these grantees must adjust their
income eligibility criteria so that such criteria are in accord with
the FFY 2011 State median income estimates.
This listing of 60 percent of estimated State median incomes
provides one of the maximum income criteria that LIHEAP grantees may
use in determining a household's income eligibility for LIHEAP.

DATES: Effective Date: For each LIHEAP grantee, these estimates become
effective at any time between their date of publication in the Federal
Register and the later of October 1, 2010, or the beginning of that
grantee's fiscal year.

Services, Division of Energy Assistance, 5th Floor West, 370 L'Enfant

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of section 2603(11) of
Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law
(Pub. L.) 97-35, as amended, HHS announces the estimated median income
of four-person families for each State, the District of Columbia, and
the United States for FFY 2011 (October 1, 2010, through September 30,
2011).
Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of this Act provides that 60 percent of
the median income for each State and the District of Columbia (State
median income, or SMI), as annually established by the Secretary 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 was last authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public
Law 109-58, which was enacted on August 8, 2005. This authorization
expired on September 30, 2007, and reauthorization remains pending.
The SMI estimates that HHS publishes in this notice are three-year
estimates derived from the American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by
the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau).
HHS obtained these estimates directly from the Census Bureau. For
additional information about the ACS State median income estimates, see
https://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/medincsizeandstate.html. For
additional information about the ACS in general, see https://www.census.gov/acs/www/ or contact the Census Bureau's Housing and
Household Economic Statistics Division at (301) 763-3243.
Under the advice of the Census Bureau, HHS switched to three-year
estimates rather than single-year estimates to reduce the large year-
to-year fluctuations that the single-year estimates tend to generate
for certain States and the District of Columbia. The change from the
single-year to three-year estimates caused the FFY 2010 estimates to
drop by about two percent on average. HHS plans to use the Census
Bureau's ACS-derived SMI three-year estimates for all fiscal years
after 2010. For further information about ACS one-year and three-year
estimates, see https://factfinder.census.gov/jsp/saff/

[[Page 26781]]

SAFFInfo.jsp?--content=acs--guidance.html.
The State median income estimates, like those derived from any
survey, are subject to two types of errors: (1) Nonsampling Error,
which consists of random errors that increase the variability of the
data and non-random errors that consistently direct the data into a
specific direction; and (2) Sampling Error, which consists of the error
that arises from the use of probability sampling to create the sample.
For additional information about the accuracy of the ACS State median
income estimates, see https://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/ACS/accuracy2005-2007.pdf.
A State-by-State listing of SMI and 60 percent of SMI for a four-
person family for FFY 2011 follows. The listing describes the method
for adjusting SMI for families of different sizes as specified in
regulations applicable to LIHEAP, at 45 CFR 96.85(b), which were
published in the Federal Register on March 3, 1988, at 53 FR 6824 and
amended on October 15, 1999, at 64 FR 55858.

Note: FFY 2011 covers the period of October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011. The estimated median income for
a four-person family living in the United States for this period is $75,648. These estimates become effective
for LIHEAP at any time between the date of this publication and October 1, 2010, or the beginning of a LIHEAP
grantee's fiscal year, whichever is later.

\1\ Prepared by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau), from three-year estimates
from the 2006, 2007 and 2008 American Community Surveys (ACSs). These estimates, like those derived from any
survey, are subject to two types of errors: (1) Nonsampling Error, which consists of random errors that
increase the variability of the data and non-random errors that consistently direct the data into a specific
direction; and (2) Sampling Error, which consists of the error that arises from the use of probability
sampling to create the sample.
\2\ These figures were calculated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for
Children and Families, Office of Community Services, Division of Energy Assistance (DEA) by multiplying the
estimated State median income for a four-person family for each State by 60 percent.
\3\ To adjust for different sizes of family, 45 CFR 96.85 calls for multiplying 60 percent of a State's
estimated median income for a four-person family by the following percentages: 52 percent for one person, 68
percent for two persons, 84 percent for three persons, 100 percent for four persons, 116 percent for five
persons, and 132 percent for six persons. For each additional family member above six persons, 45 CFR 96.85
calls for adding 3 percentage points to the percentage for a six-person family (132 percent) and multiply the
new percentage by 60 percent of a State's estimated median income for a four-person family.
