SUMMARY:

In accordance with section 2607(b)(1) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (42 U.S.C. 8621 et seq.), as amended, a notice was published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2000 (65 FR 44791) announcing the Secretary's preliminary determination that $496,085 in FY 1999 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds may be available for reallotment.
