View Rule

On January 17, 2017, OJJDP published a final rule to amend portions of the formula grant program regulation to reflect changes in OJJDP policy. For several provisions, OJJDP addressed the public comments received following the publication of the proposed rule published on August 8, 2016, and amended the current Formula Grant Program regulations through the final rule. For other provisions included in the proposed rule, OJJDP received many comments that require additional time for OJJDP to consider. OJJDP anticipates publishing at least one additional final rule removing certain provisions of the regulations that are no longer legally supported and making technical corrections. OJJDP then plans to publish a second notice of proposed rulemaking addressing amendments to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act included in the Juvenile Justice Reform Act signed into law on December 21, 2018, and the remaining changes that OJJDP intends to make to the formula grant program regulation.
