‘‘(D) INCREASE IN LOCAL CONTRIBUTION
RATE
DUE
TO
UNUSUAL
GEOGRAPHIC
FAC-
TORS.—If the current expenditures in those
local educational agencies which the Secretary
has determined to be generally comparable to
the local educational agency for which a com-
putation is made under subparagraph (C) are
not reasonably comparable because of unusual
geographical factors which affect the current
expenditures necessary to maintain, in such
agency, a level of education equivalent to that
maintained in such other agencies, then the
Secretary shall increase the local contribution
rate for such agency under subparagraph
(C)(iii) by such an amount which the Secretary
determines will compensate such agency for the
increase in current expenditures necessitated by
such unusual geographical factors. The amount
of any such supplementary payment may not
exceed the per-pupil share (computed with re-
gard to all children in average daily attend-
ance), as determined by the Secretary, of the
increased current expenditures necessitated by
such unusual geographic factors.’’.
