                      Subpart A_General Provisions

 

Sec.  570.4  Allocation of funds.



    (a) The determination of eligibility of units of general local 

government to receive entitlement grants, the entitlement amounts, the 

allocation of appropriated funds to States for use in nonentitlement 

areas, the reallocation of funds, the allocation of appropriated funds 

to insular areas, and the allocation of appropriated funds for 

discretionary grants under the Secretary's Fund shall be governed by the 

policies and procedures described in sections 106 and 107 of the Act, as 

appropriate.

    (b) The definitions in Sec.  570.3 shall govern in applying the 

policies and procedures described in sections 106 and 107 of the Act.

    (c) In determining eligibility for entitlement and in allocating 

funds under section 106 of the Act for any federal fiscal year, HUD will 

recognize corporate status and geographical boundaries and the status of 

metropolitan areas and principal cities effective as of July 1 preceding 

such federal fiscal year, subject to the following limitations:

    (1) With respect to corporate status as certified by the applicable 

State and available for processing by the Census Bureau as of such date;

    (2) With respect to boundary changes or annexations, as are used by 

the Census Bureau in preparing population estimates for all general 

purpose governmental units and are available for processing by the 

Census Bureau as of such date, except that any such boundary changes or 

annexations which result in the population of a unit of general local 

government reaching or exceeding 50,000 shall be recognized for this 

purpose whether or not such changes are used by the Census Bureau in 

preparing such population estimates; and

    (3) With respect to the status of Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 

principal cities, as officially designated by the Office of Management 

and Budget as of such date.

    (d) In determining whether a county qualifies as an urban county, 

and in computing entitlement amounts for urban counties, the demographic 

values of population, poverty, housing overcrowding, and age of housing 

of any Indian tribes located within the county shall be excluded. In 

allocating amounts to States for use in nonentitlement areas, the 

demographic values of population, poverty, housing overcrowding and age 

of housing of all Indian tribes located in all nonentitled areas shall 

be excluded. It is recognized that all such data on Indian tribes are 

not generally available from the United States Bureau of the Census and 

that missing portions of data will have to be estimated. In 

accomplishing any such estimates the Secretary may use such other 

related information available from reputable sources as may seem 

appropriate, regardless of the data's point or period of time and shall 

use the best judgement possible in adjusting such data to reflect the 

same point or period of time as the overall data from which the Indian 

tribes are being deducted, so that such deduction shall not create an 

imbalance with those overall data.

    (e) Amounts remaining after closeout of a grant which are required 

to be returned to HUD under the provisions of Sec.  570.509, Grant 

closeout procedures, shall be considered as funds available for 

reallocation unless the appropriation under which the funds were 

provided to the Department has lapsed.
