Federal Allotments to State Developmental Disabilities Councils 
and Protection and Advocacy Formula Grant Programs for Fiscal Year 1997

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

ACTION: Notification of Fiscal Year 1997 Federal Allotments to State 
Developmental Disabilities Councils and Protection and Advocacy Formula 
Grant Programs.

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

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth Fiscal Year 1997 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 allotment amounts are 
based on the 1997 Budget Request and are contingent upon Congressional 
appropriations for Fiscal Year 1997. If Congress enacts and the 
President approves a different appropriation amount, the allotments 
will be adjusted accordingly.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Lonergan, Director, Division of 
Formula, Entitlement, and Block Grants, Office of Program Support, 
Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and 
Human Services, 370 L'Enfant Promenade S.W., Washington, D.C. 20447, 
Telephone (202) 401-6603.

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 fifty percent 
of its Fiscal Year 1995 allotment.
    The Administration on Developmental Disabilities has updated the 
data elements for issuance of Fiscal Year 1997 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 1994, are from 
Table 5.J10 of the ``Social Security Bulletin: Annual Statistical 
Supplement 1995'' issued by the Social Security Administration. The 
numbers for the Northern Mariana Islands and the Republic of Palau, 
were obtained from the Social Security Administration;
    B. State data on Average Per Capita Income, 1990-94, are from Table 
2 of the ``Survey of Current Business,'' September 1995, 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, 1994, are from Table 1 Estimates of Resident 
Population of States by Age of the ``Census Advisory: Updated National 
and State Population Estimates, CB95-39,'' 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 is the most recent data available 
from the Bureau.
