Reallotment of FY 2017 Funds

AGENCY: Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities 
(AIDD), Administration on Disabilities (AoD), Administration for 
Community Living (ACL), HHS.

ACTION: Notice of reallotment of FY 2017 funds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: AIDD intends to reallot funds under authority of the 
Development Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 
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 2017 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    The Puerto Rico SCDD will have up to $1.9 million rescinded and 
proportionately redistributed to the remaining SCDDs. SCDDs that 
receive FY 2017 realloted funds will have through the end of FY 2018 to 
obligate the funds and until the end of FY 2019 to liquidate the funds.
    The Puerto Rico P&A will have up to $550,000 rescinded and 
proportionately redistributed to the remaining P&As. P&As that receive 
the FY 2017 funds will have through the end of FY 2019 to spend the 
funds.
    Realloted funds for both the SCDDs and the P&As must be used 
according to

[[Page 38695]]

the terms as outlined in the FY 2017 Notice of Award for each program.

DATES: Funds will be realloted after September 1, 2017 and before 
September 30, 2017.
