The number of children so enrolled shall be determined by the Commissioner on the basis of the most recent satisfactory data available to him. For purposes of this subsection, the term "State" shall not include Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands."

(3) If the Commissioner determines that a State will not require the number of Teacher Corps members allocated to it under paragraph (2), he shall, from time to time, reallot the number not required, on such dates as he may fix, to other States in proportion to the original allocation to such States under paragraph (2), but with such proportionate number for any of such other States being reduced to the extent it exceeds the number the Commissioner determines such State needs and will be able to use for such year; and the total of such reductions shall be similarly reallocated among the States whose proportionate numbers were not so reduced.

(d) A local educational agency may utilize members of the Teacher Corps assigned to it in providing, in the manner described in section 205(a) (2) of Public Law 874, Eighty-first Congress, as amended, educational services in which children enrolled in private elementary and secondary schools can participate.
