U.S. Code > Title 42 > Chapter 110 > § 10402 - State grants authorized

(a) Proportionality of allotment; minimum allotment
  From the sums appropriated under section 10409 of this title and
available for grants to States under this subsection for any fiscal
year - 
    (1) Guam, American Samoa, the United States Virgin Islands, and
  the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands shall each be
  allotted not less than  1/8  of 1 percent of the amounts
  available for grants under section 10402(a) of this title for the
  fiscal year for which the allotment is made; and
    (2) each State shall be allotted for payment in a grant
  authorized under section 10402(a) of this title, $600,000, with
  the remaining funds to be allotted to each State in an amount
  that bears the same ratio to such remaining funds as the
  population of such State bears to the population of all States.
(b) Determination of population of States
  For the purpose of this section, the population of each State,
and the total population of all the States, shall be determined by
the Secretary on the basis of the most recent census data available
to the Secretary, and the Secretary shall use for such purpose, if
available, the annual interim current census data produced by the
Secretary of Commerce pursuant to section 181 of title 13.
(c) Ratable reduction of amounts; increase on availability of
  additional funds
  If the sums appropriated under section 10409 of this title for
any fiscal year and available for grants to States authorized under
section 10402(a) of this title are not sufficient to pay in full
the total amounts which all States are entitled to receive under
such section for such fiscal year, then the maximum amounts which
all States are entitled to receive under such section for such
fiscal year shall be ratably reduced. In the event that additional
funds become available for making such grants for any fiscal year
during which the preceding sentence is applicable, such reduced
amounts shall be increased on the same basis as they were reduced.
(d) Reallotment; continued availability of funds
  (1) If, at the end of the sixth month of any fiscal year for
which sums are appropriated under section 10409 of this title, the
amount allotted to a State has not been made available to such
State in grants under section 10402(a) of this title because of the
failure of such State to meet the requirements for a grant, then
the Secretary shall reallot such amount to States which meet such
requirements.
  (2) Funds made available by the Secretary through reallotment
under paragraph (1) shall remain available for expenditure until
the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which such
funds become available for reallotment.
(e) Exclusion from definition of "State"
  In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the term "State" does not
include any jurisdiction specified in subsection (a)(1) of this
section.
