SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 2607(b)(1) of the
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981, as amended, (the Act)
(42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)), ACF published a notice in the Federal Register
on September 19, 2024, 89 FR 76844, announcing the Secretary's
preliminary determination that $18,363,980 of FY23 funds for LIHEAP may
be available for reallotment. ACF received no comments on this notice.
After publication, ACF reduced this amount to $15,603,143 because of
(1) reporting revisions made by recipients; (2) insufficient Payment
Management System balances; and (3) minor rounding adjustments. ACF
redistributed $15,494,946 of these funds as though they were
appropriated for FY24, in accordance with section 2607(b)(2)(C) of the
Act (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)(C)).

The list of recipients that were awarded these funds was published
in a Dear Colleague Letter that is posted to ACF's website.
Pursuant to the statute cited above, these funds were reallotted on
September 23, 2024, to all but two types of FY24 LIHEAP recipients by
distributing them under the formula that Congress set for FY24 funding.
The two types of recipients that did not receive funds were (1) those
whose allocations would have been less than $25 (see 45 CFR 96.81(c));
and (2) tribes or tribal organizations that agreed with their co-
territorial states to receive set amounts for the entire fiscal year
(see 42 U.S.C. 8623(d)(2)). No sub-recipients of these recipients or
other entities may apply for these funds.
The reallotted funds may be used for any purpose authorized under
LIHEAP. Recipients must add these funds to their total LIHEAP funds
payable for FY24 for purposes of calculating statutory caps on
administrative costs, carryover, Assurance 16 activities, and
weatherization assistance. Recipients must also (1) ensure that these
funds are included in the amounts that ACF pre-populates on Line 1.1 of
their FY24 Carryover and Reallotment Reports; (2) on the associated
Federal Financial Report (FFR), reconcile these funds, to the extent
that they received them, with all other sources that ACF categorized
under an award number ending in ``LIEA''; 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.
OCS recommends that, after receiving them, recipients obligate
these funds before obligating any other federal LIHEAP funds.
Statutory Authority: 42 U.S.C. 8626(b)
