DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Community Living
Reallotment of FY 2016 Funds
AGENCY: Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
(AIDD), Administration on Disabilities (AoD), Administration for
Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS).
ACTION: Notice of reallotment of FY 2016 funds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: AIDD intends to reallot funds under authority of Section
122(e) and Section 142(a)(1) of the Development Disabilities Assistance
and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-402) which states: ``If the
Secretary determines that an amount of an allotment to a State for a
period (of a fiscal year or longer) will not be required by the State
during the period for the purpose for which the allotment was made, the
Secretary may reallot the amount.'' AIDD will be reallotting FY 2016
funds awarded to the State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD)
and the Protection & Advocacy (P&A) agency located within the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. This determination is based on the limited
reported expenditures and requests for reimbursement over the last
several years from the SCDD and P&A in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
The Puerto Rico SCDD will have up to $1.5 million rescinded and
proportionately redistributed to the remaining SCDDs. SCDDs that
receive FY 2016 realloted funds will have through the end of FY 2017 to
obligate the funds and until the end of FY 2018 to liquidate the funds.
The Puerto Rico P&A will have up to $800,000 rescinded and
proportionately redistributed to the remaining P&As. P&As that receive
the FY 2016 funds will have through the end of FY 2017 to spend the
funds.
Realloted funds for both the SCDDs and the P&As must be used
according to the terms as outlined in the FY 2016 Notice of Award for
each program.
DATES: Funds will be realloted after August 1, 2016 and before
September 30, 2016.
ADDRESSES: The reallotment amounts to SCDDs and P&As can be found at
