fiscal year described in section 2303(b) of this

title that is less than 0.5 percent of the total

(A) All allotments and allocations under this

chapter shall be based on the latest available

Except as provided in paragraph (2), a State

is entitled to receive its full allocation of

funds under section 2303(b) of this title for any

fiscal year if the Secretary finds that the aggregate expenditures of public funds within

year for which an allocation of funds is made

under section 2303(b) of this title.

90 percent of the aggregate expenditures of

public funds.

(3) Waiver
