tan statistical area, to designate the State or States in 
which the metropolitan statistical area is located as the eli-
gible grantee(s) of the allocation. In the case that a metro-
politan statistical area involves more than one State, such 
amounts allocated to each State shall be in proportion to 
the number of cases of AIDS reported in the portion of the 
metropolitan statistical area located in that State. Any 
amounts allocated to a State under this section shall be used
