(9) The State agency will submit an E&T Program Activity Report to FNS no later than 45 days
after the end of each Federal fiscal quarter. The report will contain monthly figures for:
(i) Participants newly work registered;
(ii) Number of ABAWD applicants and recipients participating in qualifying components;
(iii) Number of all other applicants and recipients (including ABAWDs involved in nonqualifying activities) participating in components; and
(iv) ABAWDs subject to the 3-month time limit imposed in accordance with §273.24(b) who are
exempt under the State agency's 15 percent exemption allowance under §273.24(g).
(10) The State agency will submit annually, on its first quarterly report, the number of work
registrants in the State on October 1 of the new fiscal year.
(11) The State agency will submit annually, on its final quarterly report:
(i) A list of E&T components it offered during the fiscal year and the number of ABAWDs and
non-ABAWDs who participated in each; and
(ii) The number of ABAWDs and non-ABAWDs who participated in the E&T Program during
the fiscal year. Each individual must be counted only once.
7 CFR 273.7(d)(1)(i)(D)
(D) If a State agency will not obligate or expend all of the funds allocated to it for a fiscal year
under paragraph (d)(1)(i)(B) of this section, FNS will reallocate the unobligated, unexpended
funds to other State agencies during the fiscal year or the subsequent fiscal year on a first comefirst served basis. Each year FNS will notify all State agencies of the availability of carryover
funding. Interested State agencies must submit their requests for carryover funding to FNS. If the
requests are determined reasonable and necessary, FNS will allocate carryover funding to meet
some or all of the State agencies' requests, as it considers appropriate and equitable. The factors
that FNS will consider when reviewing a State agency's request will include the size of the
request relative to the level of the State agency's E&T spending in prior years, the specificity of
the State agency's plan for spending carryover funds, and the quality of program and scope of
impact for the State's E&T program and proposed use of carryover funds.
