AGENCY: Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health

ACTION: Notification of allocation of title XX--social services block 
grant allotments for fiscal year 1998.

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

SUMMARY: This issuance sets forth the individual allotments to States 
for Fiscal Year 1998, pursuant to title XX of the Social Security Act, 
as amended (Act). The allotments to the States published herein are 
based upon the authorization set forth in section 2003 of the Act and 
are contingent upon Congressional appropriations for the fiscal year. 
If Congress enacts and the President approves an amount different from 
the authorization, the allotments will be adjusted proportionately.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank A. Burns, (202) 401-5536.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 2003 of the Act authorizes $2.380 
billion for Fiscal Year 1998 and provides that it be allocated as 
follows:
    (1) Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana 
Islands each receives an amount which bears the same ratio to $2.380 
billion as its allocation for Fiscal Year 1981 bore to $2.9 billion.
    (2) American Samoa receives an amount which bears the same ratio to 
the amount allotted to the Northern Mariana Islands as the population 
of American Samoa bears to the population of the Northern Mariana 
Islands determined on the basis of the most recent data available at 
the time such allotment is determined.
    (3) The remainder of the $2.380 billion is allotted to each State 
in the same proportion as that State's population is to the population 
of all States, based upon the most recent data available from the 
Department of Commerce.
    For Fiscal Year 1998, the allotments are based upon the Bureau of 
Census population statistics contained in its report ``Population of 
States by Broad Age Groups and Sex: 1990 and 1995 (CB96-88, Table 4) 
released May 31, 1996, and ``1990 Census of Population and Housing'' 
(CPH-6-AS and CPH-6-CNMI) published April 1992, which are the most 
recent data available from the Department of Commerce at this time as 
to the population of each State and each Territory.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The allotments shall be effective October 1, 1997.
