The allocation method must be published within 30 days and put out for comment
What the document says“Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall issue a notice in the Federal Register containing the latest formula allocation methodologies used to determine the total estimate of unmet needs related to housing, economic revitalization, and infrastructure in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from a catastrophic major disaster.”
The new section 124 requires the Secretary to publish, within 30 days of enactment, a Federal Register notice setting out the latest formula allocation methods used to estimate unmet needs in the most impacted and distressed areas. Unless comment has already been sought, the Secretary must seek public comment on the methods and alternatives, their effect on rural and Tribal areas, adjustments to target the most serious needs, objective criteria for grantee capacity and minimum thresholds, and research informing an added amount for mitigation of up to 18 percent of estimated unmet needs.
What the document actually says“Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall issue a notice in the Federal Register containing the latest formula allocation methodologies used to determine the total estimate of unmet needs related to housing, economic revitalization, and infrastructure in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from a catastrophic major disaster.”
The housing agency must publish its method within 30 days. It goes in the Federal Register. The method works out how much unmet need a disaster left behind. That covers homes, jobs, and roads and pipes.
The Federal Register is the daily notice paper of the government. People may write in about the method. They can speak up for country and tribal areas.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
