fiscal year (excluding Leveraging and
REACH funds) will not be used by the
grantee during that fiscal year, then the
Secretary must notify the grantee and

that such funds may be reallotted to
LIHEAP grantees during the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been
determined that $536,595 in LIHEAP
funds may be available for reallotment
during FY 2018. This determination is
based on FY 2017 Carryover and
Reallotment Reports which showed that
fifteen grantees reported reallotment
funds. These grantees were State of
Alaska, Aniak Traditional Council,
Association of Village Council
Presidents, Bristol Bay Native
Association, Colorado River Indian
Tribes, Hoh Indian Tribe, Jicarilla
Apache Nation, Kalispel Tribe of
Indians, Little River Band of Ottawa
Indians, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma,
Navajo Nation, Sac and Fox Nation of
Oklahoma, Samish Indian Nation, Three
Affiliated Tribes, and Tyme Maidu
Tribe Berry Creek Rancheria. Grantees
submitted the FY 2017 Carryover and
Reallotment Reports to the OCS, as
required by regulations applicable to
LIHEAP at 45 CFR 96.81(b).
The LIHEAP statute allows grantees
who have funds unobligated at the end
of the federal fiscal year for which they
are awarded to request that they be
allowed to carry over up to 10 percent
of their full-year allotments to the next
federal fiscal year. Funds in excess of
this amount must be returned to HHS
and are subject to reallotment under
section 2607(b)(1) of the Act (42 U.S.C.
8626(b)(1)). The amount described in
this notice was reported by grantees as
unobligated FY 2017 funds in excess of
the amount that these grantees could
carry over to FY 2018.
In accordance with section 2607(b)(3)
of the Act (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(3)),
comments will be accepted for a period
of 30 days from the date of publication
of this notice.
After considering any comments
submitted, all current LIHEAP grantees
will be notified of the final reallotment
amount redistributed to them for
obligation in FY 2018. This decision
will be published in a Dear Colleague
Letter that gets posted to ACF’s website.
If funds are reallotted, they will be
allocated in accordance with section
2604 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 8623) and
must be treated by LIHEAP grantees
receiving them as an amount
appropriated for FY 2018. As FY 2018
funds, they will be subject to all
requirements of the Act, including
section 2607(b)(2) (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)),
which requires that a grantee obligate at
least 90 percent of its total block grant
allocation for a fiscal year by the end of
the fiscal year for which the funds are
appropriated, that is, by September 30,
2018.
