§ 301.23 - Decrease in funds.

If the amount available for allocations to States under § 301.20 is less than the amount allocated to the States under section 619 of the Act for the preceding fiscal year, those allocations are calculated as follows:

(a) If the amount available for allocations is greater than the amount allocated to the States for fiscal year 1997, each State is allocated the sum of—

(1) The amount it received for fiscal year 1997; and

(2) An amount that bears the same relation to any remaining funds as the increase the State received for the preceding fiscal year over fiscal year 1997 bears to the total of those increases for all States.

(b)(1) If the amount available for allocations is equal to the amount allocated to the States for fiscal year 1997, each State is allocated the amount it received for that year.

(2) If the amount available is less than the amount allocated to States for fiscal year 1997, the Secretary allocates amounts equal to the allocations for fiscal year 1997, ratably reduced.
