Payments to States for Foster Care and Permanency

A2: Amounts apportioned on this line are available for obligation consistent with the latest agreed-upon spending plan pertaining to such amounts between the agency and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Such spending plan submitted by the agency shall include: priority topics for the current fiscal year for research and evaluation within the account, and as appropriate, any research projects planned for future years; the anticipated obligations of such amounts by spending category; detailed information on current and anticipated grants and contracts utilizing such obligated amounts; and a detailed description of how such research and evaluation plans align with Administration priorities.  Any revisions or additions to such spending plan shall be proposed to OMB in writing no later than five business days before the anticipated obligation of funds based on such revisions or additions.  If OMB agrees to such revision or addition, OMB will notify the agency in writing, and the latest agreed-upon spend plan shall include such revision or addition.  In the absence of an agreed-upon spend plan between the agency and OMB, the agency may obligate funds on this line only as necessary for Federal salary and payroll expenses or to make payments otherwise required by law. [Rationale: An agency spend plan or other documentation is necessary to better understand how the agency intends to obligate some or all of the apportioned funds.]

A1: The total amount apportioned may be increased for recoveries of prior year obligations by an amount not to exceed 10% of the sum of such amounts identified in the calculation of total budgetary resources available. The amount of such increase is to be applied to the appropriate line in the application of budgetary resources.
