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    The Puerto Rico SCDD will have up to $1.5 million rescinded and 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The Puerto Rico P&A will have up to $800,000 rescinded and 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
