DATES: Effective Date: These estimates become effective at any time between the date of this publication and the later of (1) October 1, 2014; or (2) the beginning of a grantee’s fiscal year.

This notice announces to grantees of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) the estimated median income of four-person households in each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico for FFY 2015 (October 1, 2014, to September 30, 2015). LIHEAP grantees that choose to base their income eligibility criteria on these state median income (SMI) estimates may adopt these estimates (up to 60 percent) on their date of publication in the Federal Register or on a later date as discussed in the ‘‘Dates’’ section. This enables grantees to implement this notice during the period between the heating and cooling seasons. However, by October 1, 2014, or the beginning of the grantee’s fiscal year, whichever is later, such grantees must adjust their income eligibility criteria so that they are in accord with the FFY 2015 SMI. Sixty percent of SMI for each LIHEAP grantee, 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 income eligibility for LIHEAP. The last time LIHEAP was authorized was 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 in this notice are 3-year estimates derived from the American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau). For additional information about the ACS state median income estimates, including the definition of income and the derivation of medians see https:// www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/ data_documentation/ SubjectDefinitions/2012_ ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf under ‘‘Income in the Past 12 Months.’’ For additional information about using the ACS 3-year estimates vs. using the 1year or 5-year estimates, see https:// www.census.gov/acs/www/guidance_ for_data_users/estimates/. For additional information about the ACS in general, see https://www.census.gov/acs/ www/ or contact the Census Bureau’s Social, Economic, and Housing Statistics Division at (301) 763–3243. These SMI estimates, like those derived from any survey, are subject to two types of errors: (1) Non-sampling Error, which consists of random errors that increase the variability of the data SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\21JYN1.SGM 21JYN1
