STATE ALLOTMENTS

SEC. 110. (a) (1) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 12 1973, each State shall be entitled to an allotment of an 13 amount bearing the same ratio to the amount appropriated 14 under subsection (a) of section 100 for allotment under this 15 section as the product of (1) the population of the State 16 and (2) the square of its allotment percentage (as described 17 in section 7) bears to the sum of the corresponding products 18 for all the States. The allotment to any State (other than 19 Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust 20 Territory of the Pacific Islands) under the first sentence of 21 this subsection for any fiscal year which is less than one22 quarter of 1 per centum of the amount appropriated under 23 section 100 (a), or $2,250,000, whichever is greater, shall 24 be increased to that amount, the total of the increases thereby 25 required being derived by proportionately reducing the

1 allotments to each of the remaining such States under the 2 first sentence of this subsection, but with such adjustments 3 as may be necessary to prevent the allotment of any such 4 remaining States from being thereby reduced to less than 5 that amount.

(2) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974, and for 7 each fiscal year thereafter each State shall be entitled to an 8 allotment of an amount equal to its allotment under para9 graph (1) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973. 10 (3) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974, and for 11 each fiscal year thereafter each State shall be entitled to an 12 allotment, in addition to the allotment to which it is entitled 13 under paragraph (2), of an amount equal to—

(A) of the product obtained by multiplying-

(i) the excess (if any) of the total amount appropriated for such year for allotment under this section over the total amount so appropriated for

the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973, by

(ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the population of such State by the population of all the States, plus

(B)

of the product obtained by multiplying

(i) the excess (if any) of the total amount

appropriated for such year for allotment under this

ст

section over the total amount so appropriated for

the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973, by

(ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the allot

ment percentage of such State by the sum of the allotment percentages of all the States.

(b) For each fiscal year the Secretary shall pay to each 7 State an amount equal to the Federal share (determined as 8 provided in section 6 (6) of the cost of vocational and com9 prehensive rehabilitation services under the plan for such 10 State approved under section 101, including expendi11 tures for the administration of the State plan, except 12 that the total of such payments to such State for such fiscal 13 year may not exceed its allotment under subsection (a) of 14 this section for such year and such payments shall not be 15 made in an amount which would result in a violation of the 16 provisions of the State plan required by clause (17) of 17 section 101 (a), and except that the amount otherwise pay18 able to such State for such year under this section shall be 19 reduced by the amount (if any) by which expenditures 20 from non-Federal sources (except for expenditures with re

spect to which the State is entitled to payments under section 111) during such year under this title are less than expendi

tures under the State plan for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1972, under the Vocational Rehabilitation Act.
