(FY23)Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) were reallotted to states, territories, tribes, and tribal organizations that received FY24 direct LIHEAP grants. DATES: This notice became effective upon its publication. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jolleen Janelle George, Acting Director, Office of Community Services, 330 C Street SW, 5th Floor; Mail Room 5425; Washington, DC 20201. Telephone:

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 $15,494,946 became available from the following recipients in the following amounts: Name of recipient that returned funds for reallotment FY23 Reallotment amount Alaska $4,917,545 Idaho 7,195,260 Michigan 55,139 Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands 30,897 Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma 7,838 Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town 38 Bishop Paiute Tribe 1,846 Blackfeet Tribe 66,242 Catawba Indian Nation 14,656 Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes 7,692 Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma 80,195 Coeur d'Alene Tribe 18,278 Comanche Nation 4,726 Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes 360,718 Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon 17,239 Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon 11,716 Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians 511 Dena'Nena'Henash—Tanana Chiefs Conference 26,018 Eastern Shoshone Tribe 135,825 Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes 584,537 Gila River Indian Community 73,461 Hoh Tribe 2,212 Hoopa Valley Tribe 12,878 Hopland Band of Pomo Indians 2,244 Inter-Tribal Council of MI, Inc. 112,668 Jicarilla Apache Nation 20,062 Little River Band of Ottawa Indians 6,123 Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe 4,072 Mi'kmaq Nation 29,682 Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians 8,426 Modoc Nation 830 Muckleshoot Indian Tribe 1,110 Navajo Nation 760,233 Nooksack Indian Tribe 36,196 Northern Arapaho Tribe 5,258 Northern California Indian Development Council, Inc. 845 Northern Cheyenne Tribe 22,783 Orutsararmiut Native Council 194,196 Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians 2,975 Pleasant Point Tribal Government 50,685 Poarch Band of Creek Indians 146,887 Pueblo of Jemez 11,765 Pueblo of Zuni 6,813 Quapaw Nation 22,161 Quileute Tribe 23,001 Quinault Indian Nation 17,503 Riverside-San Bernardino County Indian Health, Inc 6,644 Sac and Fox Nation of Oklahoma 6,573 Samish Indian Nation 11,088 San Carlos Apache Tribe 8,904 Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians 1,064 Spirit Lake Nation 101,127 Spokane Tribe of Indians 23,773 Swinomish Indian Tribal Community 18,028 The Delaware Tribe of Indians 4,501 The Klamath Tribes 157,812 Tonkawa Tribe of Oklahoma 1,276 United Cherokee Ani-Yun-Wiya Nation 33,524 Ute Indian Tribe 8,647 Total 15,494,946 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) Anthony Petruccelli, Senior Grants Policy Specialist, Office of Grants Policy, Office of Administration.
