Abstract

This direct final rule revises the Federal regulations to rescind regulations related to prior balance replacement funds, which are moneys from the United States Treasury's General Fund that replaced State or Tribal share funds that were allocated before October 1, 2007, but never appropriated by Congress. Additionally, this rule will rescind the regulations that detail how prior balance replacement funds may be used.
