§ 1980.1004 Funding.
Unless the Agency publishes a notice that indicates otherwise, the Agency will reserve funds according to the procedures specified in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section for each of the programs identified in § 1980.1002 each fiscal year.
(a) Individual program basis. The Agency will reserve funds on an individual program basis.
(b) Percentage of funds. The Agency will reserve 10 up to 15 percent of the funds made available in a fiscal year to each program identified in § 1980.1002 unless the Agency specifies a different percentage. If the Agency specifies a different percentage, the Agency will publish a notice indicating the percentage. The percentage of funds to be set aside will be published in a notice in the Federal Register on an annual basis. The Agency may reserve the same or different percentages for each program in a single fiscal year.
(c) Unobligated funds. If a program's funds reserved under this subpart remain unobligated as of June 30 of the fiscal year in which the funds are reserved, the Agency will return such remaining funds to that program's regular funding account for obligation for all eligible Projects in that program. In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 2008v, all Strategic Economic and Community Development (SECD) reserved funds will be reserved for the 1-year period beginning on the date on which the funds were first made available. The Agency has determined that for both non-annual and annually appropriated programs, SECD reserved funding will be available for obligation until dates established by covered programs as specified in a SECD annual Federal Register publication. Reserved funds in annual programs not obligated by September 30 will be reconciled according to applicable law.
