The allotments for the States published herein are based upon Fiscal Year 1995 budget request, and are contingent upon Congressional appropriations for FY 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bettye J. Mobley, Chief, Family Support Branch, Office of Financial Management, Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services, 370 L'Enfant Promenade SW. , Washington, DC 20447, Telephone (202) 401- 6955. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 125(a)(2) of the Act requires that adjustments in the amounts of State allotments may be made not more often than annually and that States are to be notified not less than six (6) months before the beginning of any fiscal year of any adjustments to take effect in that fiscal year. The Administration on Developmental Disabilities has updated the data elements for issuance of Fiscal Year 1995 allotments for the Developmental Disabilities formula grant programs. The data elements used in the update are: A. The number of beneficiaries in each State and Territory under the Childhood Disabilities Beneficiary Program, December 1992, are from Table 5.J10 of the ``Social Security Bulletin: Annual Statistical Supplement 1993'' issued by the Social Security Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The numbers for the Northern Mariana Islands and the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, were obtained from the Social Security Administration; B. State data on Average Per Capita Income, 1987-92, are from Table 1, page 74 of the ``Survey of Current Business,'' September 1993, issued by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce; comparable data for the Territories also were obtained from that Bureau; and C. State data on Total Population and Working Population (ages 18- 64) as of July 1, 1992, are from ``Current Population Reports: Population Estimates and Projections, Series P-25, Number 1010, issued by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. Estimates for the Territories are no longer available, therefore, the Territories population data are from the 1990 Census Population Counts. The Territories' working populations were issued in the Bureau of Census report, ``General Characteristics Report: 1980,'' which is the most recent data available from the Bureau.

Under the 1990 Amendments, TTPI continues to be eligible for a single minimum amount under the Protection and Advocacy program; however, under the Compact of Free Association, P. L. 99-239, only the Republic of Palau continues to be eligible to receive funds under the Protection and Advocacy program. Therefore, the Republic of Palau will receive its proportional share of the TTPI allotment, and the remainder will be withheld for reallotment in accordance with section 142(b)(1) of the Act.
