ACTION:

Notification of Estimated Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Federal Allotments to State Developmental Disabilities Councils and Protection and Advocacy Systems Formula Grant Programs.

SUMMARY:

This notice sets forth estimated FY 2012 individual allotments and estimated percentages of the total allotments to States administering the State Developmental Disabilities Councils and Protection and Advocacy Systems programs, pursuant to section 122 and section 142 of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (the Act) [Pub. L. 106-402, October 30, 2000]. The estimated allotment amounts are based on the FY 2012 President's Budget request and are contingent on Congressional appropriations for FY 2012. Once Congress enacts an appropriation for FY 2012 and after ADD updates the data elements listed in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below, the estimated allotments will be adjusted accordingly. The estimated allotments contained herein will be adjusted for FY2012.

The final State allotments will be available on the ADD homepage after a final 2012 Continuing Resolution or HHS appropriations bill is passed by Congress.

DATES:

Effective Date: October 1, 2011.

CFDA Number: 93.630, Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 122(a)(2) of the Act requires that adjustments in the amounts of State allotments shall be made not more often than annually and that States must be notified no less than six months before the beginning of the fiscal year in which such adjustment is to take effect. In relation to the State Developmental Disabilities Council allotments, the descriptions of service needs were reviewed in the State plans and are consistent with the results obtained from the data elements and projected formula amounts for each State (Section 122(a)(5)). In addition, Section 142(a) of the Act makes the allotment and reallotment structure in Section 122 applicable to grants to States for Protection and Advocacy Systems.

ADD will update the following FY 2011 data elements for issuance of FY 2012 allotments for both of the Developmental Disabilities formula grant programs:

The number of beneficiaries in each State and Territory under the Childhood Disabilities Beneficiary Program are from Table 5.J10 of the 2009 Annual Statistical Supplement to the Social Security Bulletin issued by the Social Security Administration;

State data on Per Capita Income are from Table SA1-3—Per Capita Personal Income, 2006-2008 from the Regional Economic Information System, issued by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, September 2010. The most recent comparable data for the Territories were obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce, October 2009; and

State population data is based on table GCT-T1.—Population Estimates at: July 1, 2009 issued by the U.S. Census Bureau. State working populations (ages 18-64) are based on the Estimates of the Resident Population by Selected Age Groups for the United States and Puerto Rico: July 1, 2009 (SC-EST2009-01) from the U.S. Census Bureau. Total population and working population estimates for the Territories other than Puerto Rico are based on Population and Housing Profile: 2000 data sets from the “Island Areas” surveys conducted as part of the 2000 Census by the U.S. Census Bureau.
