Reallotment of Fiscal Year 2019 Funds for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), 55299-55300 [2020-19578]

Download as PDF 55299 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 173 / Friday, September 4, 2020 / Notices State child support agencies are required to establish and operate a federally approved statewide ADP and information retrieval system to assist in child support enforcement. States are required to submit an initial APD containing information to assist the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in determining if the state computerized support enforcement project planning and implementation meets federal certification requirements needed for the approval of FFP. States are then required to submit annual APD updates to HHS to report project status and request ongoing FFP for systems development, enhancements, operations, and maintenance. Asneeded APDs are also submitted to acquire FFP when major milestones are missed or significant changes to project schedules occur. Based on an assessment of the information provided in the APD, states that do not meet the federal requirements necessary for approval are required to conduct periodic independent verification and validation services for high-risk project oversight. In addition to the APDs providing HHS with the information necessary to determine the allowable level of federal funding for state systems projects, states also submit associated procurement and data security documents, such as requests for proposals (RFPs), contracts, contract amendments, and the biennial security review reports. Respondents: State child support agencies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: According to Section 2607(b)(1) of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Act, (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)), if the Secretary of HHS determines as of September 1, of any fiscal year, an amount in excess of 10 percent of the amount awarded to a grantee for that 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 publish a notice in the Federal Register that such funds may be reallotted to LIHEAP grantees during the following fiscal year. If reallotted, the LIHEAP block grant allocation formula will be used to distribute the funds. No funds may be allotted to entities that are not direct LIHEAP grantees during FY 2020. It has been determined that $948,485 in LIHEAP funds may be available for reallotment during FY 2020. This determination is based on FY 2019 Carryover and Reallotment Reports submitted by FY 2019 LIHEAP grantees showing 12 grantees as having funds available for reallotment.

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.

The amount described in this notice was reported by grantees as unobligated FY 2019 funds in excess of the amount that these grantees could carry over to FY 2020. In accordance with section 2607(b)(3) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(3)), HHS has notified each grantee of any balance that will be de-obligated for purpose of this anticipated reallotment and has given 30 days to provide comments directly to HHS. Public comments will be accepted for a period of 30 days from the date of publication of this notice. All current LIHEAP grantees will be notified of the final reallotment amount redistributed to them for obligation in FY 2020.

funds from the fiscal year (FY) 2019 Low Income Home Energy Assistance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: According to Section 2607(b)(1) of the Low 
Income Home Energy Assistance Act, (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)), if the 
Secretary of HHS determines as of September 1, of any fiscal year, an 
amount in excess of 10 percent of the amount awarded to a grantee for 
that 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 publish a notice in the Federal Register that 
such funds may be reallotted to LIHEAP grantees during the following 
fiscal year. If reallotted, the LIHEAP block grant allocation formula 
will be used to distribute the funds. No funds may be allotted to 
entities that are not direct LIHEAP grantees during FY 2020. It has 
been determined that $948,485 in LIHEAP funds may be available for 
reallotment during FY 2020. This determination is based on FY 2019 
Carryover and Reallotment Reports submitted by FY 2019 LIHEAP grantees 
showing 12 grantees as having funds available for reallotment. These 
grantees

[[Page 55300]]

include 2 states and 10 tribes, which are listed in the table below. 
Grantees submitted the FY 2019 Carryover and Reallotment Reports to the 
OCS, as required by regulations applicable to LIHEAP at 45 CFR 
96.81(b). After publication of this notice DEA will redetermine the 
final reallotment amounts and make adjustments where necessary.
    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 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Act, 
(42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)). The amount described in this notice was 
reported by grantees as unobligated FY 2019 funds in excess of the 
amount that these grantees could carry over to FY 2020. In accordance 
with section 2607(b)(3) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(3)), HHS has 
notified each grantee of any balance that will be de-obligated for 
purpose of this anticipated reallotment and has given 30 days to 
provide comments directly to HHS. Public comments will be accepted for 
a period of 30 days from the date of publication of this notice.
    All current LIHEAP grantees will be notified of the final 
reallotment amount redistributed to them for obligation in FY 2020. 
This decision will also be published in the Federal Register and in a 
Dear Colleague Letter that is posted to ACF's website at https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/resource/dear-colleagues.
    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 2020. As FY 
2020 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, 2020.
