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.

information is necessary for the proper

of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the

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
E:\FR\FM\04SEN1.SGM
04SEN1
55300
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 173 / Friday, September 4, 2020 / Notices
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/dearcolleagues.
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.
