each year.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Doris Lee, Grants Fiscal Management 
Specialist, Office of Management Services, Administration for Children, 
Youth and Families, telephone (202) 205-4626.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 125 (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 are to be notified no less than six 
(6) months before the beginning of the fiscal year in which such 
adjustment is to take effect. In relation to the State DDC allotments, 
the description 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 125(a)(5)).
    The Administration on Developmental Disabilities has updated the 
following data elements for issuance of Fiscal Year 2001 allotments for 
the Developmental Disabilities formula grant programs.
    A. The number of beneficiaries in each State and Territory under 
the Childhood Disabilities Beneficiary Program are from Table 5.J10 of 
the ``Annual Statistical Supplement, 1999 to the Social Security 
Bulletin'' issued by the Social Security Administration;
    B. State data on Average Per Capita Income are from Table 1--
Personal Income and Per Capita Personal Income by State and Region, 
1993-98 of the ``Survey of Current Business,'' May, 1999, issued by the 
Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce; comparable 
data for the Territories also were obtained from the Department of 
Commerce September, 1999; and
    C. State data on Total Population and Working Population (ages 18-
64) as of July 1, 1998, are from the ``Estimate of Resident Population 
of the U.S. by Selected Age Groups and Sex,'' issued by the Bureau of 
the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. Total population estimates for 
the Territories, as of 1997, were issued May, 1998 under press release 
CB98-80. The Territories working population was issued in the Bureau of 
Census report, ``General Characteristics Report: 1980,'' which is the 
most recent data available from the Bureau.
