administers an intergovernmental regulation promulgated
pursuant to a significant law shall pay to each State gov-
ernment in each fiscal year the amount determined pursu-
ant to this section to reimburse the State government and
local governments in the State for the additional direct
costs incurred by such governments in complying with
such regulation in such fiscal year.
(2) A State government which receives payments
under this section for reimbursement for additional direct
costs incurred in complying with an intergovernmental
regulation in any fiscal year shall pay to each local govern-
ment in the State the amount determined pursuant to this
section to reimburse such local government for the addi-
tional direct costs incurred by such local government in
complying with such regulation in such fiscal year.
(b) The total amount to be paid to a State to reim-
burse the government of the State and local governments
in the State for additional direct costs incurred by such
governments in complying with an intergovernmental reg-
ulation in any fiscal year shall be an amount which bears
the same ratio to the total amount for reimbursement of
additional direct costs for all State governments and local
governments described in section 4(a) with respect to such
regulation for such fiscal year as the total amount of addi-
tional direct costs with respect to such regulation specified
under section 5(a)(2)(A) for such State government and
local governments in such State for such fiscal year in the
report submitted by the Director under section 5 for such
fiscal year bears to the total amount of additional direct
costs with respect to such regulation which are specified
under section 5(a)(1) in such report for all State govern-
ments and all local governments for such fiscal year.
(c)(1) The total amount to be paid by a State govern-
ment to local governments in such State to reimburse such
governments for additional direct costs incurred by such
governments in complying with an intergovernmental reg-
ulation in any fiscal year shall be equal to the product
of the amount paid to the State under subsection (b) for
such fiscal year multiplied by the ratio specified by the
Director for such State under section 5(a)(2)(B) with re-
spect to such regulation for such fiscal year in the report
submitted by the Director under section 5 for such fiscal
year.
(2)(A) A State government which receives payments
under this section to reimburse local governments in the
State for the additional direct costs incurred by such gov-
ernments in complying with an intergovernmental regula-
tion in any fiscal year shall pay to each such local govern-
ment an amount equal to the product of—
(i) the total amount determined under para-
graph (1) with respect to such regulation for such
fiscal year, multiplied by
(ii) the ratio (stated as a percentage and esti-
mated by the State in accordance with subparagraph
(B)) that the total amount of additional direct costs
incurred by such local government in complying with
such regulation in such fiscal year bears to the total
amount of additional direct costs incurred by all
local governments in such State in complying with
such regulation in such fiscal year.
(B) Each State government which receives payments
under this section for any fiscal year shall provide by law
for the estimation of the amount of additional direct costs
incurred by each local government in such State in com-
plying with an intergovernmental regulation for which
such payments are received. In providing for the esti-
mation of such costs, the State shall establish procedures
and methods for the estimation of such costs which are
reasonably related to the actual additional direct costs in-
curred by such governments in complying with such regu-
lation in such fiscal year.
(d) This section does not apply with respect to an
