Section 706. Allotment percentage
(a)(1) For purposes of section 730 of this title, the allotment
percentage for any State shall be 100 per centum less that
percentage which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the per
capita income of such State bears to the per capita income of the
United States, except that -
(A) the allotment percentage shall in no case be more than 75
per centum or less than 33 1/3 per centum; and
(B) the allotment percentage for the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands shall be 75 per
centum.
(2) The allotment percentages shall be promulgated by the
Secretary between October 1 and December 31 of each even-numbered
year, on the basis of the average of the per capita incomes of the
States and of the United States for the three most recent
consecutive years for which satisfactory data are available from
the Department of Commerce. Such promulgation shall be conclusive
for each of the 2 fiscal years in the period beginning on the
October 1 next succeeding such promulgation.
(3) The term "United States" means (but only for purposes of this
subsection) the 50 States and the District of Columbia.
(b) The population of the several States and of the United States
shall be determined on the basis of the most recent data available,
to be furnished by the Department of Commerce by October 1 of the
year preceding the fiscal year for which funds are appropriated
pursuant to statutory authorizations.
