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:

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

Fee Rate for Using a Priority Review
Voucher in Fiscal Year 2025
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
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.

Jkt 262001
Section 1102 of the Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act of
2007 (Pub. L. 110–85) added section 524
to the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360n). 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).
B. Establishment of the Rare Pediatric
Disease Priority Review Voucher
Section 908 of the Food and Drug
Administration Safety and Innovation
Act (Pub. L. 112–144) added section 529
of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360ff). 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. Establishment of the Material Threat
MCM Priority Review Voucher
Section 3086 of the 21st Century
Cures Act (Pub. L. 114–255) added
section 565A to the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
1 The FD&C Act includes a sunset of authority to
award rare pediatric disease priority review
vouchers. Section 529(b)(5) of the FD&C Act
provides that after September 30, 2024, FDA may
not award any rare pediatric disease priority review
vouchers unless a rare pediatric disease product
application: (1) is for a drug that, not later than
September 30, 2024, is designated under section
529(d) of the Act as a drug for a rare pediatric
disease, and (2) is, not later than September 30,
2026, approved under section 505(b)(1) of the FD&C
Act or section 351(a) of the PHS Act. This limit of
FDA’s authority to award rare pediatric disease
vouchers does not affect the ability to use rare
pediatric disease priority review vouchers issued by
FDA.

development of material threat MCMs
by offering additional incentives for
obtaining FDA approval of such

FD&C Act, the sponsor of an eligible
material threat MCM application (as
defined in section 565A(a)(4)) shall
receive a priority review voucher upon
approval of the material threat MCM
application.2
D. 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. FDA
published information on its website
about how the priority review voucher
program operates.3 4 5

\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.
