allotments to states

allotments to states Sec. 713. (a) (1) From the sums appropriated pursuant to section 732(a) for each fiscal year which are available for carrying out this part, the Commissioner shall reserve such amount, but not in excess of 1 per centum of such sums, as he may determine, and shall 88 Stat. 592apportion such amount to Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands according to their respective, needs for assistance under this title. Of the remainder of such sums, he shall allot an amount to each State which bears the same ratio to the amount available for allotment as the number of school age children (aged 5 to 12, inclusive) in each such State bears to the total number of such children in all the States, as determined by the Commissioner on the basis of the most recent satisfactory data available to him. The allotment of a State which would be less than $50,000 under the preceding sentence shall be increased to $50,000, and the total of the increases thereby required shall be derived by proportionately reducing the allotments to the remaining States under the preceding sentence, but with such adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the allotments to any such remaining States from being reduced to less than $50,000. (2) For the purpose of this section the term “State” includes the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. (b) The amount allotted to any State under subsection (a) for any fiscal year which the Commissioner determines will not be required for that year shall be available for reallotment from time to time, on such dates during that year as the Commissioner may fix, to other States in proportion to the amounts originally allotted among those States under subsection (a) for that year, but with the proportionate amount for any of the other States being reduced to the extent it exceeds the sum the Commissioner estimates the local educational agencies of such State need and will be able to use for that year; and the total of these reductions shall be similarly reallotted among the States whose proportionate amounts were not so reduced. Any amount reallotted to a State under this subsection from funds appropriated pursuant to section 732 for any fiscal year shall be deemed part of the amount allotted to it under subsection (a) for that year.
