ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Center for 

Complementary and Alternative 

Medicine (NCCAM) is developing its 

third strategic plan and invites the 

public to provide comments on two 

white papers which will support the 

development of this plan. The papers 

will cover two topics of particular 

research interest to NCCAM: natural 

products research and back pain 

research. They will be publicly available 

through the NCCAM Web site at 

http://nccam.nih.gov from on or about 

May 10 through May 24, 2010. The 

public is invited to provide comments 

through the NCCAM Web site. 

Background: The National Center for 

Complementary and Alternative 

Medicine (NCCAM) was established in 

1998 with the mission of exploring 

complementary and alternative healing 

practices in the context of rigorous 

science, training CAM researchers, and 

disseminating authoritative information 

to the public and professionals. 

To date, NCCAM’s efforts to 

rigorously study CAM, to train CAM 

researchers, and to communicate with 

the public and professionals, have been 

guided by NCCAM’s previous strategic 

plans, located on the NCCAM Web site 

at http://nccam.nih.gov/about/plans. 

The public is invited to review the 

background papers and provide 

comments from May 10 through May 24,

State Median Income Estimate for a 

Four-Person Family: Notice of the 

Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2011 State 

Median Income Estimates for Use 

Under the Low Income Home Energy 

Assistance Program (LIHEAP) (Catalog 

of Federal Domestic Assistance 

Number 93.568) Administered by the 

U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), Administration for 

Children and Families, Office of 

Community Services, Division of 

Energy Assistance 

AGENCY: Administration for Children 

and Families, Office of Community 

Services, Division of Energy Assistance, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of State median income 

estimates for FFY 2011. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces to 

LIHEAP grantees the estimated median 

income of four-person families in each 

State and the District of Columbia for 

FFY 2011 (October 1, 2010, to 

September 30, 2011). LIHEAP grantees 

that choose to base their income 

eligibility criteria on these State median 

income estimates may adopt these 

estimates (up to 60 percent) on the 

estimates’ date of publication in the 

Federal Register or on a later date as 

discussed below. This enables these 

grantees to implement this notice during 

the period between the heating and 

cooling seasons. However, by October 1, 

2010, or the beginning of the grantees’ 

fiscal years, whichever is later, these 

grantees must adjust their income 

eligibility criteria so that such criteria 

are in accord with the FFY 2011 State 

median income estimates. 

This listing of 60 percent of estimated 

State median incomes provides one of 

the maximum income criteria that 

LIHEAP grantees may use in 

determining a household’s income 

eligibility for LIHEAP. 

DATES: Effective Date: For each LIHEAP 

grantee, these estimates become 

effective at any time between their date 

of publication in the Federal Register 

and the later of October 1, 2010, or the 

beginning of that grantee’s fiscal year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

provisions of section 2603(11) of Title 

XXVI of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 97–35, as amended, HHS 

announces the estimated median 

income of four-person families for each 

State, the District of Columbia, and the 

United States for FFY 2011 (October 1, 

2010, through September 30, 2011). 

Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of this Act 

provides that 60 percent of the median 

income for each State and the District of 

Columbia (State median income, or 

SMI), as annually established by the 

Secretary of Health and Human 

Services, is one of the income criteria 

that LIHEAP grantees may use in 

determining a household’s eligibility for 

LIHEAP. 

LIHEAP was last authorized by the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 

109–58, which was enacted on August 

8, 2005. This authorization expired on 

September 30, 2007, and reauthorization 

remains pending. 

The SMI estimates that HHS 

publishes in this notice are three-year 

estimates derived from the American 

Community Survey (ACS) conducted by 

the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Census 

Bureau). HHS obtained these estimates 

directly from the Census Bureau. For 

additional information about the ACS 

State median income estimates, see 

http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/

income/medincsizeandstate.html. For 

additional information about the ACS in 

general, see http://www.census.gov/acs/ 

www/ or contact the Census Bureau’s 

Housing and Household Economic 

Statistics Division at (301) 763–3243. 

Under the advice of the Census 

Bureau, HHS switched to three-year 

estimates rather than single-year 

estimates to reduce the large year-toyear fluctuations that the single-year 

estimates tend to generate for certain 

States and the District of Columbia. The 

change from the single-year to threeyear estimates caused the FFY 2010 

estimates to drop by about two percent 

on average. HHS plans to use the Census 

Bureau’s ACS-derived SMI three-year 

estimates for all fiscal years after 2010.

The State median income estimates, 

like those derived from any survey, are 

subject to two types of errors: (1) 

Nonsampling Error, which consists of 

random errors that increase the 

variability of the data and non-random 

errors that consistently direct the data 

into a specific direction; and (2) 

Sampling Error, which consists of the 

error that arises from the use of 

probability sampling to create the 

sample. For additional information 

about the accuracy of the ACS State 

median income estimates, see http:// 

www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/

ACS/accuracy2005-2007.pdf. 

A State-by-State listing of SMI and 60 

percent of SMI for a four-person family 

for FFY 2011 follows. The listing 

describes the method for adjusting SMI 

for families of different sizes as 

specified in regulations applicable to 

LIHEAP, at 45 CFR 96.85(b), which were 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 3, 1988, at 53 FR 6824 and 

amended on October 15, 1999, at 64 FR 

55858.

1Prepared by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau), from three-year estimates from the 2006, 2007 and 

2008 American Community Surveys (ACSs). These estimates, like those derived from any survey, are subject to two types of errors: (1) Nonsampling Error, which consists of random errors that increase the variability of the data and non-random errors that consistently direct the data 

into a specific direction; and (2) Sampling Error, which consists of the error that arises from the use of probability sampling to create the sample. 2These figures were calculated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of 

Community Services, Division of Energy Assistance (DEA) by multiplying the estimated State median income for a four-person family for each 

State by 60 percent. 3To adjust for different sizes of family, 45 CFR 96.85 calls for multiplying 60 percent of a State’s estimated median income for a four-person 

family by the following percentages: 52 percent for one person, 68 percent for two persons, 84 percent for three persons, 100 percent for four 

persons, 116 percent for five persons, and 132 percent for six persons. For each additional family member above six persons, 45 CFR 96.85 

calls for adding 3 percentage points to the percentage for a six-person family (132 percent) and multiply the new percentage by 60 percent of a 

State’s estimated median income for a four-person family.
