SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 2607(b)(1) of the 
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Act (the Act), Title XXVI of the 
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)), as

2015, announcing the preliminary determination of the Secretary of the 
Department of Health and Human Services that $4,352,881 of FY 2014 
funds for LIHEAP may be available for reallotment. No comments were 
received on this notice, nor did any grantees report additional funds 
for reallotment. However, after such publication, ACF discovered that 
$28,459 of these funds had already been drawn down from the ACF Payment 
Management System and would not be available for reallotment. Thus, a 
final total of $4,324,422 was available for reallotment from FY 2014.
    These funds became available from the following grantees in the 
following amounts:
