DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families


Estimated Federal Allotments to State Developmental Disabilities 
Councils and Protection and Advocacy Systems Formula Grant Programs for 
Fiscal Year 2012

AGENCY: Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD), 
Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Department of Health 
and Human Services (HHS).

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.
