Federal Allotments to State Developmental Disabilities Councils 
and Protection and Advocacy Formula Grant Programs for Fiscal Year 1996

AGENCY: Administration on Developmental Disabilities, Administration 
for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Notification of Fiscal Year 1996 Federal Allotments to State 
Developmental Disabilities Councils and Protection and Advocacy Formula 
Grant Programs.

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

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth Fiscal Year 1996 individual allotments 
and percentages to States administering the State Developmental 
Disabilities Councils and Protection and Advocacy programs, pursuant to 
section 125 and section 142 of the Developmental Disabilities 
Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (Act). The amounts published herein 
are based upon Fiscal Year 1995 funding levels, and are contingent upon 
Congressional appropriations for Fiscal Year 1996. If Congress enacts 
and the President approves an amount different from the Fiscal Year 
1995 appropriation, the allotments will be adjusted accordingly.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bettye J. Mobley, Chief, Family 
Support Branch, Office of Financial Management, Administration for 
Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services, 370 
L'Enfant Promenade SW., Washington, DC 20447, Telephone (202) 401-6955.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 125(a)(2) of the Act requires that 
adjustments in the amounts of State allotments may be made not more 
often than annually and that States are to be notified not less than 
six (6) months before the beginning of any fiscal year of any 
adjustments to take effect in that fiscal year. It should be noted 
that, as required, Palau's allotment has been adjusted to seventy-five 
percent of its Fiscal Year 1995 allotment.
    The Administration on Developmental Disabilities has updated the 
data elements for issuance of Fiscal Year 1996 allotments for the 
Developmental Disabilities formula grant programs. The data elements 
used in the update are:
    A. The number of beneficiaries in each State and Territory under 
the Childhood Disabilities Beneficiary Program, December 1993, are from 
Table 5.J10 of the ``Social Security Bulletin: Annual Statistical 
Supplement 1994'' issued by the Social Security Administration, U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services. The numbers for the Northern 
Mariana Islands and the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, were 
obtained from the Social Security Administration;
    B. State data on Average Per Capita Income, 1989-93, are from Table 
2 of the ``Survey of Current Business,'' September 1994, issued by the 
Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce; comparable 
data for the Territories also were obtained from that Bureau; and
    C. State data on Total Population and Working Population (ages 18-
64) as of July 1, 1993, are from ``Current Population Reports: 
Population Estimates and Projections, Series P-25, Number 1010, issued 
by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. Estimates for 
the Territories are no longer available, therefore, the Territories 
population data are from the 1990 Census Population Counts. The 
Territories' working populations were issued in the Bureau of Census 
report, ``General Characteristics Report: 1980,'' which includes the 
most recent data available from the Bureau.
