cordance with regulations issued by the Sec-
retary.
‘‘(B) DIRECT ALLOCATIONS.—In any State

ary of the calendar year in which the Secretary’s de-
termination is made, then on the basis of the most
recent reliable data available to the Secretary at the

ing to criminal, national security, or other law enforce-
ment actions that would render the alien ineligible for ad-
justment of status under this section. The Secretary of 
Homeland Security shall provide a process for challenging 
the accuracy of matches that result in a finding of ineligi-
bility for adjustment of status. 
‘‘(e) INAPPLICABILITY

dent status under this subsection, the number of immi-
