This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Notice of awards.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), announces the allocation of Refugee Social Services formula awards to States and Wilson/Fish Alternative Project grantees.
The FY 2013 formula allocations for Social Services are available on ORR's Web site at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/spotlight#announcements.
The awards are effective immediately.
Henley Portner, Office of the Director, Office of Refugee Resettlement, (202) 401-5363, Henley.Portner@acf.hhs.gov.
The purpose of the Refugee Social Services program is to provide employability services, English language training, case management, social adjustment services, interpretation and translation services, and other resettlement services to refugees, Amerasians, asylees, Cuban and Haitian entrants, victims of trafficking, and Iraqis and Afghans with Special Immigrant Visas. The awards are determined by the number of the eligible populations residing in the State during the two-year period from October 1, 2010, to September 30, 2012. States with allocations under $100,000 through this calculation instead receive floor allocations ranging from $75,000 to $100,000 depending on the number of the eligible population in each State. The purpose of the floor allocations is to ensure that all participating States receive an award sufficient to maintain a program of resettlement services.
Funds must be obligated by September 30, 2014, and funds must be expended by September 30, 2015.
ACF reminds recipients and members of the public that a Federal Register notice, concerning a change in procedures that requires electronic submission of State/Tribal plans and reporting, is open for comment through August 27, 2013. The notice is available in Federal Register , Volume 78, No. 125, published on June 28, 2013, and at ( printed page 51736) http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-06-28/pdf/2013-15465.pdf.
