Amendments of 2006, is further amended—

entitled to use all or any part of amounts allotted under subsection 
(b) to obtain, subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), from the Secretary 
of Agriculture commodities available through any food program 
of the Department of Agriculture at the rates at which such 
commodities are valued for purposes of such program.

to the Secretary, by such date as the Secretary may require, the 
amount (if any) of its allotment under subsection (b) which each 
State agency and title VI grantee has elected to receive in the 
form of commodities. Such amount shall include an amount bearing

‘‘(3) From the allotment under subsection (b) for each State 
agency and title VI grantee, the Secretary shall transfer funds 
to the Secretary of Agriculture for the costs of commodities received 
by such State agency or grantee, and expenses related to the 
procurement of the commodities on behalf of such State agency 
or grantee, under this subsection, and shall then pay the balance 
(if any) to such State agency or grantee. The amount of funds 
transferred for the expenses related to the procurement of the 
commodities shall be mutually agreed on by the Secretary and 
the Secretary of Agriculture. The transfer of funds for the costs 
of the commodities and the related expenses shall occur in a timely 
manner after the Secretary of Agriculture submits the cor-
responding report described in paragraph (2), and shall be subject 
Reports.
