DATES: This notice is effective on August 26, 2013. Final allotments for fiscal year 2013 may be available for expenditure by states beginning with October 1, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Strauss, (410) 786–2019. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Purpose of This Notice This notice sets forth the allotments available to each state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. Territory and Commonwealth for fiscal year (FY) 2013 under title XXI of the Social Security Act (the Act). States may implement the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through a separate state program under title XXI of the Act, an expansion of a State Medicaid program under title XIX of the Act, or a combination of both. CHIP allotments for FY 2009 and subsequent fiscal years are available to match expenditures under an approved state child health plan for 2 fiscal years, including the year for which the allotments were provided. As specified by the Act, the allotments are available to states for FY 2013, and the unexpended amounts of such allotments for a state may be carried over to FY 2014 for use by the state. Federal funds appropriated for title XXI of the Act are limited, and the law specifies a methodology to divide the total fiscal year appropriation into individual allotments available for each state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. Territory and Commonwealth with an approved child health plan. Section 2104(b) of the Act requires states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories and Commonwealths to have an approved child health plan for the fiscal year in order for the Secretary to provide an allotment for that fiscal year. All states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories and Commonwealths have approved plans for FY 2013. Therefore, the FY 2013 allotments contained in this notice pertain to all states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories and Commonwealths. In general, funding is appropriated under section 2104(a) of the Act for purposes of providing allotments to states under CHIP for each fiscal year. Section 2104(a) was amended by section 10203(d)(1) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–148, enacted on March 23, 2010) (the Affordable Care Act) to extend PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 appropriations for funding for CHIP fiscal year allotments through FY 2015. II. Methodology for Determining CHIP Fiscal Year Allotments for the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories and Commonwealths A. Funding Authority for the CHIP Fiscal Year Allotments Section 2104(a)(1) through (18) of the Act appropriates federal funds for providing states’ allotments for FYs 2009 through 2015. In particular, the appropriated amounts available for allotments for FYs 2009 through 2015, are as follows: $10,562,000,000 for FY 2009; 12,520,000,000 for FY 2010; $13,459,000,000 for FY 2011; $14,982,000,000 for FY 2012; $17,406,000,000 for FY 2013, $19,147,000,000 for FY 2014; and $2,850,000,000 for each of the first and second half of FY 2015. Also, section 108 of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–3, enacted on February 4, 2009) (CHIPRA), as amended by section 10203(d) of the Affordable Care Act, provides for a one-time appropriation of $15,361,000,000 for allotments for the first half of FY 2015. Therefore, the total appropriation for providing allotments during FY 2015 is $21,061,000,000 (determined as the sum of $2,850,000,000, $15,361,000,000, and $2,850,000,000). B. Methodology for Determining State’s Fiscal Year Allotments 1. General On September 16, 2009 we published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (74 FR 47517) and on February 17, 2011, we published the final rule in the Federal Register (76 FR 9233) to implement the methodologies and procedures to determine the fiscal year allotments of federal funds as specified under section 2104(m) of the Act for FY 2009 through FY 2015. In general, the States’ fiscal year allotments are provided from the appropriation for the respective fiscal year allotment, subject to a proration adjustment described in section II.B.7 of this notice. 2. FY 2009 Through FY 2012 CHIP Allotments The final methodology is determined in accordance with the September 16, 2009 Federal Register (74 FR 47517) which contained the FY 2009 CHIP allotments, the February 17, 2011 Federal Register (76 FR 9233) which contained the FY 2010 and FY 2011 CHIP allotments, and the July 24, 2012 Federal Register (77 FR 43290) which contained the FY 2012 CHIP allotments. E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM 26JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 144 / Friday, July 26, 2013 / Notices 3. FY 2013 Allotments The FY 2013 allotments for the 50 States and the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealths and Territories, are provided from the FY 2013 appropriation ($17,406,000,000). The amounts of these allotments are subject to a proration adjustment described in section II.B.7 of this notice, if necessary. Section 2104(m)(2)(B)(i) of the Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act, requires a ‘‘rebasing’’ process be used for determining the FY 2013 allotments; the rebasing methodology means the states’ payments rather than their allotments for FY 2012 must be considered in calculating the FY 2013 allotments. In particular, the FY 2013 allotments are determined by multiplying the allotment increase factor for FY 2013 for the state by the sum of: any federal payments made from the states’ available allotments in FY 2012; any amounts provided as redistributed allotments in FY 2012 to the state; and any federal payments attributable to any contingency fund payments made to the State for FY 2012 determined under section 2104(n) of the Act. 4. FY 2014 Allotments The FY 2014 allotments for the 50 States and the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealths and Territories, are provided from the FY 2014 appropriation of $19,147,000,000, and are subject to a proration adjustment described in section II.B.7 of this notice, if necessary. Under section 2104(m)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act, the FY 2014 allotment for each State is determined by multiplying the allotment increase factor for FY 2014 for the state, by the sum of: the state’s FY 2013 allotment; and any contingency fund payment made to the state for FY 2013, as determined in section 2104(n) of the Act. For the 50 States and the District of Columbia, under section 2104(m)(6) of the Act, the FY 2014 allotment may include additional amounts in situations where such states have submitted an expansion allotment adjustment request before August 31, 2013. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 5. FY 2015 Allotments Under section 2104(m)(3) of the Act, the FY 2015 allotments for the 50 states and the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealths and Territories, are comprised of 2 components related to the first half of FY 2015 (that is, the period of October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015) and second half of FY VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:54 Jul 25, 2013 Jkt 229001 45209 2015 (that is, April 1, 2015 through September 30, 2015). The FY 2015 allotments for the first and second half of FY 2015 are subject to a proration adjustment described in section II.B.7 of this notice, as necessary. The allotments for the first half of FY 2015 are provided from a total available appropriation of $18,211,000,000, comprised of $2,850,000,000 appropriated under section 2104(a)(18)(A) of the Act, and $15,361,000,000 appropriated by section 108 of CHIPRA, as amended by the Affordable Care Act. The allotments for the first half of FY 2015 are equal to the ‘‘first half ratio’’ multiplied by the allotment increase factor for FY 2015 multiplied by the sum of any federal payments made from the States’ available allotments in FY 2014; any amounts provided as redistributed allotments in FY 2014 to the state; and any federal payments attributable to any contingency fund payments made to the State for FY 2014 as determined under section 2104(n) of the Act. The first half ratio is the percentage determined by dividing $18,211,000,000 (calculated as the sum of $2,850,000,000 (the appropriation for the first half of FY 2015) and 15,361,000,000 (the one-time appropriation for the first half of the FY 2015)) by $21,061,000,000 (calculated as the sum of $2,850,000,000(the appropriation for the second half of FY 2015) and $18,211,000,000). The states’ CHIP allotments for the second half of FY 2015 are provided from a total available appropriation of $2,850,000,000, appropriated under section 2104(a)(18)(B) of the Act. The allotments for the second half of FY 2015 are equal to $2,850,000,000 multiplied by a percentage equal to the amount of the allotment for the state for the first half of FY 2015 divided by the sum of all such first half of FY 2015 allotments for all States. 7. The Allotment Increase Factor For A Fiscal Year 6. Proration Rule Section 2104(m)(1)(B) of the Act provided for 2009 allotments for the commonwealths and territories based upon the highest amount available for any fiscal year from 1999 through 2008, multiplied by the allotment increase factor with the term ‘‘United States’’ substituted for the term ‘‘the State’’ (so that the increase for the commonwealths and territories will be based on the CPFG rate for the entire country rather than specific to the commonwealth or territory). For fiscal years after FY 2009, the CHIP allotment for the commonwealths and territories is determined using the same methodology described above for the 50 States and District of Columbia. The 2009 change Under section 2104(m)(4) of the Act, if the amount of States’ (including the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealths and Territories) allotments for a fiscal year, or in the case of FY 2015, the amount of an allotment for each half of the fiscal year, exceeds the total appropriations available for such periods, the total allotments for each of these periods will be reduced on a proportional basis. The total amount available nationally for the period is multiplied by a proration percentage determined by dividing the amount determined for the period by the sum of such amounts. PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Under section 2104(m)(5) of the Act, the allotment increase factor for a fiscal year is equal to the product of 2 amounts for the fiscal year: the per capita health care growth factor and the child population growth factor. The per capita health care growth factor for a fiscal year is equal to 1 plus the percentage increase in the projected per capita amount of the National Health Expenditures from the calendar year in which the previous fiscal year ends to the calendar year in which the fiscal year involved ends, as most recently published by CMS before the beginning of the fiscal year involved. In general, for the 50 States and the District of Columbia, the Child Population Growth Factor (CPGF) for a fiscal year is equal to 1 plus the percentage increase (if any, expressed in decimal format) in the population of children in the State from July 1 in the previous fiscal year to July 1 in the fiscal year involved, as determined by CMS based on the most recent published estimates of the Census Bureau available before the beginning of the fiscal year involved, plus 1 percentage point (expressed as 0.01). In the determination of the CPGF, section 2104(m)(5)(B) of the Act refers to ‘‘the percentage increase (if any)’’ of the population of children in the State. In this regard, the CPGF refers only to increases in the population of children. Thus, if there was a decrease in the population of children over the indicated period, the CPGF for such State would be1 plus 0.0 percent plus 1 percentage point; that is, negative growth in the children population would not result in the growth factor being less than 101 percent (expressed as 1.01). 8. Allotments for the Commonwealths And Territories E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM 26JYN1 45210 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 144 / Friday, July 26, 2013 / Notices to the allotment increase factor does not apply, and thus we will determine a commonwealth or territory-specific allotment increase factor, based on the CPFG for each commonwealth or territory, based on the most recent published estimates of the Census Bureau. following decimals are shown in the following tables): Table 1—Allotment Increase Factor for FY 2013 Table 2—Children’s Health Insurance Program Allotments for FY 2013 C. FY 2013 Allotments Determined in Accordance With Such Methodologies and Procedures. Key to Table 1 We calculated the FY 2013 allotments as discussed in section II.B.4 of this notice and in accordance with section 2104(m) of the Act and final regulations at 42 CFR 457.609 (published in the February 17, 2011 Federal Register. That calculation is presented in 2 tables described in section III of this notice. Table 1 provides the calculation of the allotment increase factor for FY 2013, and Table 2 provides the calculation of the FY 2013 allotment. III.

Commonwealths to initiate and expand health insurance coverage to 
uninsured, low-income children under the Children's Health Insurance 
Program (CHIP). The fiscal year allotments contained in this notice 
were determined in accordance with the funding provisions and final 
regulations published in the February 17, 2011 Federal Register (76 FR 
9233).

DATES: This notice is effective on August 26, 2013. Final allotments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Purpose of This Notice

    This notice sets forth the allotments available to each state, the 
District of Columbia, and each U.S. Territory and Commonwealth for 
fiscal year (FY) 2013 under title XXI of the Social Security Act (the 
Act). States may implement the Children's Health Insurance Program 
(CHIP) through a separate state program under title XXI of the Act, an 
expansion of a State Medicaid program under title XIX of the Act, or a 
combination of both. CHIP allotments for FY 2009 and subsequent fiscal 
years are available to match expenditures under an approved state child 
health plan for 2 fiscal years, including the year for which the 
allotments were provided. As specified by the Act, the allotments are 
available to states for FY 2013, and the unexpended amounts of such 
allotments for a state may be carried over to FY 2014 for use by the 
state. Federal funds appropriated for title XXI of the Act are limited, 
and the law specifies a methodology to divide the total fiscal year 
appropriation into individual allotments available for each state, the 
District of Columbia, and each U.S. Territory and Commonwealth with an 
approved child health plan.
    Section 2104(b) of the Act requires states, the District of 
Columbia, and U.S. Territories and Commonwealths to have an approved 
child health plan for the fiscal year in order for the Secretary to 
provide an allotment for that fiscal year. All states, the District of 
Columbia, and U.S. Territories and Commonwealths have approved plans 
for FY 2013. Therefore, the FY 2013 allotments contained in this notice 
pertain to all states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories 
and Commonwealths.
    In general, funding is appropriated under section 2104(a) of the 
Act for purposes of providing allotments to states under CHIP for each 
fiscal year. Section 2104(a) was amended by section 10203(d)(1) of the 
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-148, 
enacted on March 23, 2010) (the Affordable Care Act) to extend 
appropriations for funding for CHIP fiscal year allotments through FY 
2015.

II. Methodology for Determining CHIP Fiscal Year Allotments for the 50 
States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories and 
Commonwealths

A. Funding Authority for the CHIP Fiscal Year Allotments

    Section 2104(a)(1) through (18) of the Act appropriates federal 
funds for providing states' allotments for FYs 2009 through 2015. In 
particular, the appropriated amounts available for allotments for FYs 
2009 through 2015, are as follows: $10,562,000,000 for FY 2009; 
12,520,000,000 for FY 2010; $13,459,000,000 for FY 2011; 
$14,982,000,000 for FY 2012; $17,406,000,000 for FY 2013, 
$19,147,000,000 for FY 2014; and $2,850,000,000 for each of the first 
and second half of FY 2015. Also, section 108 of the Children's Health 
Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-3, enacted 
on February 4, 2009) (CHIPRA), as amended by section 10203(d) of the 
Affordable Care Act, provides for a one-time appropriation of 
$15,361,000,000 for allotments for the first half of FY 2015. 
Therefore, the total appropriation for providing allotments during FY 
2015 is $21,061,000,000 (determined as the sum of $2,850,000,000, 
$15,361,000,000, and $2,850,000,000).

B. Methodology for Determining State's Fiscal Year Allotments

1. General
    On September 16, 2009 we published a proposed rule in the Federal 
Register (74 FR 47517) and on February 17, 2011, we published the final 
rule in the Federal Register (76 FR 9233) to implement the 
methodologies and procedures to determine the fiscal year allotments of 
federal funds as specified under section 2104(m) of the Act for FY 2009 
through FY 2015. In general, the States' fiscal year allotments are 
provided from the appropriation for the respective fiscal year 
allotment, subject to a proration adjustment described in section 
II.B.7 of this notice.
2. FY 2009 Through FY 2012 CHIP Allotments
    The final methodology is determined in accordance with the 
September 16, 2009 Federal Register (74 FR 47517) which contained the 
FY 2009 CHIP allotments, the February 17, 2011 Federal Register (76 FR 
9233) which contained the FY 2010 and FY 2011 CHIP allotments, and the 
July 24, 2012 Federal Register (77 FR 43290) which contained the FY 
2012 CHIP allotments.

[[Page 45209]]

3. FY 2013 Allotments
    The FY 2013 allotments for the 50 States and the District of 
Columbia, and the Commonwealths and Territories, are provided from the 
FY 2013 appropriation ($17,406,000,000). The amounts of these 
allotments are subject to a proration adjustment described in section 
II.B.7 of this notice, if necessary. Section 2104(m)(2)(B)(i) of the 
Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act, requires a ``rebasing'' 
process be used for determining the FY 2013 allotments; the rebasing 
methodology means the states' payments rather than their allotments for 
FY 2012 must be considered in calculating the FY 2013 allotments. In 
particular, the FY 2013 allotments are determined by multiplying the 
allotment increase factor for FY 2013 for the state by the sum of: any 
federal payments made from the states' available allotments in FY 2012; 
any amounts provided as redistributed allotments in FY 2012 to the 
state; and any federal payments attributable to any contingency fund 
payments made to the State for FY 2012 determined under section 2104(n) 
of the Act.
4. FY 2014 Allotments
    The FY 2014 allotments for the 50 States and the District of 
Columbia, and the Commonwealths and Territories, are provided from the 
FY 2014 appropriation of $19,147,000,000, and are subject to a 
proration adjustment described in section II.B.7 of this notice, if 
necessary. Under section 2104(m)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, as amended by 
the Affordable Care Act, the FY 2014 allotment for each State is 
determined by multiplying the allotment increase factor for FY 2014 for 
the state, by the sum of: the state's FY 2013 allotment; and any 
contingency fund payment made to the state for FY 2013, as determined 
in section 2104(n) of the Act.
    For the 50 States and the District of Columbia, under section 
2104(m)(6) of the Act, the FY 2014 allotment may include additional 
amounts in situations where such states have submitted an expansion 
allotment adjustment request before August 31, 2013.
5. FY 2015 Allotments
    Under section 2104(m)(3) of the Act, the FY 2015 allotments for the 
50 states and the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealths and 
Territories, are comprised of 2 components related to the first half of 
FY 2015 (that is, the period of October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015) 
and second half of FY 2015 (that is, April 1, 2015 through September 
30, 2015). The FY 2015 allotments for the first and second half of FY 
2015 are subject to a proration adjustment described in section II.B.7 
of this notice, as necessary.
    The allotments for the first half of FY 2015 are provided from a 
total available appropriation of $18,211,000,000, comprised of 
$2,850,000,000 appropriated under section 2104(a)(18)(A) of the Act, 
and $15,361,000,000 appropriated by section 108 of CHIPRA, as amended 
by the Affordable Care Act. The allotments for the first half of FY 
2015 are equal to the ``first half ratio'' multiplied by the allotment 
increase factor for FY 2015 multiplied by the sum of any federal 
payments made from the States' available allotments in FY 2014; any 
amounts provided as redistributed allotments in FY 2014 to the state; 
and any federal payments attributable to any contingency fund payments 
made to the State for FY 2014 as determined under section 2104(n) of 
the Act. The first half ratio is the percentage determined by dividing 
$18,211,000,000 (calculated as the sum of $2,850,000,000 (the 
appropriation for the first half of FY 2015) and 15,361,000,000 (the 
one-time appropriation for the first half of the FY 2015)) by 
$21,061,000,000 (calculated as the sum of $2,850,000,000(the 
appropriation for the second half of FY 2015) and $18,211,000,000).
    The states' CHIP allotments for the second half of FY 2015 are 
provided from a total available appropriation of $2,850,000,000, 
appropriated under section 2104(a)(18)(B) of the Act. The allotments 
for the second half of FY 2015 are equal to $2,850,000,000 multiplied 
by a percentage equal to the amount of the allotment for the state for 
the first half of FY 2015 divided by the sum of all such first half of 
FY 2015 allotments for all States.
6. Proration Rule
    Under section 2104(m)(4) of the Act, if the amount of States' 
(including the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the 
Commonwealths and Territories) allotments for a fiscal year, or in the 
case of FY 2015, the amount of an allotment for each half of the fiscal 
year, exceeds the total appropriations available for such periods, the 
total allotments for each of these periods will be reduced on a 
proportional basis. The total amount available nationally for the 
period is multiplied by a proration percentage determined by dividing 
the amount determined for the period by the sum of such amounts.
7. The Allotment Increase Factor For A Fiscal Year
    Under section 2104(m)(5) of the Act, the allotment increase factor 
for a fiscal year is equal to the product of 2 amounts for the fiscal 
year: the per capita health care growth factor and the child population 
growth factor.
    The per capita health care growth factor for a fiscal year is equal 
to 1 plus the percentage increase in the projected per capita amount of 
the National Health Expenditures from the calendar year in which the 
previous fiscal year ends to the calendar year in which the fiscal year 
involved ends, as most recently published by CMS before the beginning 
of the fiscal year involved.
    In general, for the 50 States and the District of Columbia, the 
Child Population Growth Factor (CPGF) for a fiscal year is equal to 1 
plus the percentage increase (if any, expressed in decimal format) in 
the population of children in the State from July 1 in the previous 
fiscal year to July 1 in the fiscal year involved, as determined by CMS 
based on the most recent published estimates of the Census Bureau 
available before the beginning of the fiscal year involved, plus 1 
percentage point (expressed as 0.01). In the determination of the CPGF, 
section 2104(m)(5)(B) of the Act refers to ``the percentage increase 
(if any)'' of the population of children in the State. In this regard, 
the CPGF refers only to increases in the population of children. Thus, 
if there was a decrease in the population of children over the 
indicated period, the CPGF for such State would be1 plus 0.0 percent 
plus 1 percentage point; that is, negative growth in the children 
population would not result in the growth factor being less than 101 
percent (expressed as 1.01).
8. Allotments for the Commonwealths And Territories
    Section 2104(m)(1)(B) of the Act provided for 2009 allotments for 
the commonwealths and territories based upon the highest amount 
available for any fiscal year from 1999 through 2008, multiplied by the 
allotment increase factor with the term ``United States'' substituted 
for the term ``the State'' (so that the increase for the commonwealths 
and territories will be based on the CPFG rate for the entire country 
rather than specific to the commonwealth or territory). For fiscal 
years after FY 2009, the CHIP allotment for the commonwealths and 
territories is determined using the same methodology described above 
for the 50 States and District of Columbia. The 2009 change

[[Page 45210]]

to the allotment increase factor does not apply, and thus we will 
determine a commonwealth or territory-specific allotment increase 
factor, based on the CPFG for each commonwealth or territory, based on 
the most recent published estimates of the Census Bureau.

C. FY 2013 Allotments Determined in Accordance With Such Methodologies 
and Procedures.

    We calculated the FY 2013 allotments as discussed in section II.B.4 
of this notice and in accordance with section 2104(m) of the Act and 
final regulations at 42 CFR 457.609 (published in the February 17, 2011 
Federal Register. That calculation is presented in 2 tables described 
in section III of this notice. Table 1 provides the calculation of the 
allotment increase factor for FY 2013, and Table 2 provides the 
calculation of the FY 2013 allotment.

III. Tables

    Following are the keys and associated tables for the CHIP funding 
provisions as discussed in previous sections (note that for purposes of 
presentation and due to rounding, not all numbers following decimals 
are shown in the following tables):

A. Table 1--Allotment Increase Factor For FY 2013

Key to Table 1
Column/Description
    Column A = State. Column A contains the name of the State, District 
of Columbia, U.S. Commonwealth or Territory.
    Column B = PCNHE 2012, PCNHE 2013, PCHCG Factor. Column B contains 
the calculation of the Per Capita Health Care Growth (PCHCG) Factor for 
FY 2013, determined as 1 plus the percentage increase in the Per Capita 
National Health Expenditures (PCNHE) (source: Centers for Medicare & 
Medicaid Services, Office of the Actuary) from calendar year 2012 to 
calendar year 2013.
    Columns C through F = Calculation of the Child Population Growth 
Factor (CPGF) for FY 2013:
    Column C = July 1, 2012 Child Population. Column C contains the 
population of children in each state or the United States as of July 1, 
2012, as provided by the most recent published data of the Census 
Bureau before the beginning of FY 2013.
    Column D = July 1, 2013 Child Population. Column D contains the 
population of children in each state or the United States as of July 1, 
2013, as provided by the most recent published data of the Census 
Bureau before the beginning of FY 2013.
    Column E = Percent Increase 2012--2013. Column E contains the 
percentage increase, if any, of the population of children in each 
state, or the United States, from July 1, 2012 to July 1, 2013, 
calculated as the difference between the number in Column D minus the 
number in Column C divided by the number in Column C.
    Column F = FY 2013 Child Population Growth Factor. Column F 
contains the Child Population Growth Factor (CPGF) for each state, 
determined as 1.01 plus the percent in Column E for the State.
    Column G = FY 2013 Allotment Increase Factor. Column G contains the 
FY 2013 Allotment Increase Factor, calculated as the PCHCG factor in 
Column B multiplied by the CPGF percent in Column F.
