L. 112– 55, approved November 18, 2011) (Appropriations Act) makes available up to $400 million, to remain available until expended, in CDBG funds for necessary expenses related to disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, and economic revitalization in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from a major disaster declared pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) in 2011. The law provides that grants shall be awarded directly to a State or unit of general local government at the discretion of the Secretary. To comply with statutory direction that funds be used for disaster-related expenses in the most impacted and distressed areas, HUD computes allocations based on data that are generally available and that cover all the eligible affected areas. Within states receiving an allocation in this Notice, the Department identified the ‘‘most impacted and distressed areas’’ as those counties that have more than $10 million in estimated unmet severe housing and business needs. If a CDBG entitlement jurisdiction accounts for $6 million or more of funds allocated within a state, it receives a direct award (due to its extraordinarily high level of localized unmet need, one nonentitlement jurisdiction (the city of Minot, ND) also receives a direct award under this Notice). Each local jurisdiction receiving a direct award lies within a county that meets the ‘‘most impacted and distressed’’ criterion. To ensure that funds are dedicated to the most impacted and distressed areas, 80 percent of the combined total of all the funds awarded within a state (this includes funds awarded directly to a State as well as those funds awarded directly to local governments) must be spent in the ‘‘most impacted and distressed’’ counties (i.e,. those identified by HUD as having more than E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM 16APN1
