                shall prevent the Administrator from--

                        beginning on the date on which the 
                        Administrator begins accepting those 
                        applications.
                    (B) Reserving funds.--Nothing in subparagraph (A) 
                shall prevent the Administrator from--
                            (i) reserving funding for applicants that 
                        may be determined to be eligible for a covered

            (1) Certification.--An eligible entity applying for a

                    (A) the uncertainty of current economic conditions

        in addition, use other reliable sources such as certified

                    (A) In general.--Except as provided in section 
                252(b) and in this subsection, the amount of a covered 
                grant made to an eligible entity shall be equal to the

                        obtained by multiplying 3 by the average 
                        monthly gross receipts of the eligible entity 
                        in 2019; or
                            (II) for an eligible entity that did not 
                        have gross receipts in 2019, because the 
                        eligible entity began operating between January 
                        1, 2020 and February 29, 2020 or due to other

                to an eligible entity based on estimated receipts that 
                is greater than the actual gross receipts of the 
                eligible entity in 2020 shall be returned to the 
                Administrator, who may use those returned funds to make 
                additional covered grants.
            (3) Insufficient funding.--
                    (A) In general.--If the Administrator determines 
                that the amounts made available to carry out this 
                subtitle are insufficient to make covered grants to 
                each eligible entity in the amount provided under 
                paragraphs (1) and (2) and in accordance with the 
                allocations under section 252(b), the Administrator 
                shall--
                            (i) make covered grants with the available 
                        amounts--
                                    (I) such that the amount of the 
                                covered grant that each such eligible 
                                entity would have otherwise received 
                                under those paragraphs is reduced by an 
                                equal percentage;
                                    (II) by establishing a maximum 
                                amount for a covered grant made under 
                                this clause to ensure that smaller 
                                eligible entities still receive covered 
                                grants in the amounts provided under 
                                those paragraphs; or
                                    (III) by providing covered grants 
                                in the amounts provided under those 
                                paragraphs below a certain threshold 
                                (as the Administrator may establish) 
                                and reducing covered grants above that 
                                threshold by an equal percentage; and
                            (ii) in a manner that complies with clause 
                        (i), make covered grants to each eligible 
                        entity that submits an application for a 
                        covered grant during the 21-day period 
                        beginning on the date on which the 
                        Administrator begins accepting those 
                        applications.
                    (B) Reserving funds.--Nothing in subparagraph (A) 
                shall prevent the Administrator from--
                            (i) reserving funding for applicants that 
                        may be determined to be eligible for a covered 
                        grant upon reconsideration; or
                            (ii) making partial awards to eligible
