SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After receiving Federal Financial Reports (FFRs), Carryover and Reallotment Reports (CRRs), and fourth-quarter Quarterly Reports (QRs) from FY23 LIHEAP recipients, ACF has determined that $18,363,980 in FY23 LIHEAP funds may be available for reallotment for FY24. This determination was based on the reports of 75 recipients and the total obligations of 4 recipients. LIHEAP recipients submitted the FY23 CRRs to OCS, as required by regulations applicable to LIHEAP at 45 CFR 96.81(b). The LIHEAP statute allows recipients who have funds unobligated at the end of the FY 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 FY (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)). Funds in excess of this amount must be returned to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and are subject to reallotment under 42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1). In accordance with 42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(3), ACF notified each of the 79 recipients that reported or, in the absence of reporting, had potentially $18,363,980 of unobligated funds above their carryover caps. In these notices, ACF told each recipient about the amount that, according to the recipients’ reports, it needed to return for deobligation and redistribution to FY24 recipients as part of the reallotment. It also gave each recipient 30 calendar days to provide comments directly to ACF. All LIHEAP recipients that receive a portion of these funds will be notified of the final reallotment amount redistributed to them for FY24. This decision will also be published in the Federal Register and in a Dear Colleague Letter that is posted to ACF’s website under LIHEAP Dear Colleague Letters. The FY23 LIHEAP funds that ACF preliminarily expects to become available for reallotment determination come from the following recipients in the following amounts: Preliminary amount available for reallotment 1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Name of recipient that has funds to be returned for reallotment Alaska ..........................................................................................................................................................................................

If funds are reallotted, then they will be allocated in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 8623 and must be treated by LIHEAP recipients that receive them as funds appropriated for FY24. As FY24 funds, they will be subject to all requirements of the LIHEAP statute, including 42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2), which requires that a recipient 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, 2024. Furthermore, recipients that VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:59 Sep 18, 2024 Jkt 262001 receive these funds may use these funds for any purpose authorized under LIHEAP and must add them to their total LIHEAP funds payable for FY24 for purposes of calculating statutory caps on administrative costs, carryover, Assurance 16 activities, and weatherization assistance. Additionally, all recipients of these funds must (1) ensure that these funds are included in the amounts on Lines 1.1 of their FY24 CRRs; (2) reconcile these funds, to the extent that they received them, on their corresponding PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 FFRs; and (3) record, on their FY24 Household Reports, households that receive benefits at least partly from these funds.

ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is announcing the fee rate for using a priority review voucher for fiscal year (FY) 2025. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended, authorizes FDA to determine and collect priority review user fees for certain applications for review of human drug or biological products when those applications use a tropical disease, rare pediatric disease, or material threat medical countermeasure (MCM) priority review voucher. These vouchers are awarded to the sponsors of tropical disease, rare pediatric disease, or material threat MCM product applications, respectively, that meet the requirements of the FD&C Act, upon FDA approval of such applications. The amount of the fee for using a priority review voucher is determined each fiscal year, based on the difference between the average cost incurred by FDA to review a human drug application designated as priority review in the previous fiscal year, and the average cost incurred in the review of an application that is not subject to priority review in the previous fiscal year. This notice establishes the FY 2025 priority review fee rate applicable to submission of eligible applications for review of human drug or biological products using a rare pediatric disease, material threat MCM, or tropical disease priority review voucher and outlines the payment procedures for such fees. DATES: This rate is effective on October 1, 2024, and will remain in effect through September 30, 2025.

In section 524 of the FD&C Act, Congress encouraged development of new human drug and biological products for prevention and treatment of tropical diseases by offering additional incentives for obtaining FDA approval of such products. Under section 524 of the FD&C Act, the sponsor of an eligible human drug application for a tropical disease (as defined in section 524(a)(3) of the FD&C Act) shall receive a priority review voucher upon approval of the tropical disease product application (as defined in section 524(a)(4) of the FD&C Act).

In section 529 of the FD&C Act, Congress encouraged development of new human drugs and biological products for prevention and treatment of certain rare pediatric diseases by offering additional incentives for obtaining FDA approval of such products. Under section 529 of the FD&C Act, the sponsor of an eligible human drug for a rare pediatric disease (as defined in section 529(a)(3)) shall receive a priority review voucher upon approval of the rare pediatric disease product application (as defined in section 529(a)(4) of the FD&C Act).1 C.

Transferability of the Priority Review Voucher The recipient of a priority review voucher may either use the voucher for a future human drug application submitted to FDA under section 505(b)(1) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355(b)(1)) (or section 351(a)) of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 262(a)), or transfer (including by sale) the voucher to another party. The voucher may be transferred repeatedly until it ultimately is used for a human drug application submitted to FDA under section 505(b)(1) of the FD&C Act or section 351(a) of the PHS Act. As further described below, a priority review is a review conducted with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of 6 months after the receipt or filing date, depending on the type of application. Information regarding review goals for FY 2025 is available at: https://www.fda.gov/ media/151712/download. The sponsor that uses a priority review voucher is entitled to a priority review of its eligible human drug application, but must pay FDA a priority review user fee in addition to any other fee required by PDUFA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After receiving Federal Financial Reports 
(FFRs), Carryover and Reallotment Reports (CRRs), and fourth-quarter 
Quarterly Reports (QRs) from FY23 LIHEAP recipients, ACF has determined 
that $18,363,980 in FY23 LIHEAP funds may be available for reallotment 
for FY24. This determination was based on the reports of 75 recipients 
and the total obligations of 4 recipients. LIHEAP recipients submitted 
the FY23 CRRs to OCS, as required by regulations applicable to LIHEAP 
at 45 CFR 96.81(b).
    The LIHEAP statute allows recipients who have funds unobligated at 
the end of the FY 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 FY (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)). Funds in excess of this amount must 
be returned to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and are 
subject to reallotment under 42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1).
    In accordance with 42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(3), ACF notified each of the 
79 recipients that reported or, in the absence of reporting, had 
potentially $18,363,980 of unobligated funds above their carryover 
caps. In these notices, ACF told each recipient about the amount that, 
according to the recipients' reports, it needed to return for de-
obligation and redistribution to FY24 recipients as part of the 
reallotment. It also gave each recipient 30 calendar days to provide 
comments directly to ACF.
    All LIHEAP recipients that receive a portion of these funds will be 
notified of the final reallotment amount redistributed to them for 
FY24. This decision will also be published in the Federal Register and 
in a Dear Colleague Letter that is posted to ACF's website under LIHEAP 
Dear Colleague Letters.
    The FY23 LIHEAP funds that ACF preliminarily expects to become 
available for reallotment determination come from the following 
recipients in the following amounts:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Preliminary funds for reallotment consist of the funds in excess of
  LIHEAP's 10 percent carryover cap that (1) 75 recipients indicated on
  the FFRs or reported on the CRRs or QRs as unobligated; or (2)
  amounted to 100 percent of regular funds or IIJA funds for the 4
  recipients that failed to submit the associated FFRs and their CRRs or
  QRs.

    If funds are reallotted, then they will be allocated in accordance 
with 42 U.S.C. 8623 and must be treated by LIHEAP recipients that 
receive them as funds appropriated for FY24. As FY24 funds, they will 
be subject to all requirements of the LIHEAP statute, including 42 
U.S.C. 8626(b)(2), which requires that a recipient 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, 2024. Furthermore, recipients that receive these funds 
may use these funds for any purpose authorized under LIHEAP and must 
add them to their total LIHEAP funds payable for FY24 for purposes of 
calculating statutory caps on administrative costs, carryover, 
Assurance 16 activities, and weatherization assistance.
    Additionally, all recipients of these funds must (1) ensure that 
these funds are included in the amounts on Lines 1.1 of their FY24 
CRRs; (2) reconcile these funds, to the extent that they received them, 
on their corresponding FFRs; and (3) record, on their FY24 Household 
Reports, households that receive benefits at least partly from these 
funds. State recipients must also ensure that these funds are included 
in the Grantee Survey sections of their FY24 LIHEAP Performance Data 
Forms.
