ending June 30, 1975, shall be made only in accordance with a

with section 1375(b) of this title and only after such revised cost
estimate shall have been approved by law specifically enacted after
October 18, 1972.

Administrator, in accordance with regulations promulgated by him,
generally on the basis of the ratio used in making the last
allotment of sums under this section. Such reallotted sums shall be
added to the last allotments made to the States. Any sum made
available to a State by reallotment under this subsection shall be
in addition to any funds otherwise allotted to such State for
grants under this subchapter during any fiscal year.
(2) Any sums which have been obligated under section 1283 of this
title and which are released by the payment of the final voucher

period shall be immediately reallotted by the Administrator on the
basis of the same ratio as applicable to sums allotted for the then
current fiscal year, except that none of the funds reallotted by
the Administrator for fiscal year 1978 and for fiscal years
thereafter shall be allotted to any State which failed to obligate
any of the funds being reallotted. Any sum made available to a
State by reallotment under this subsection shall be in addition to

amount necessary to carry out this subsection, the amount each
State receives under this subsection for such year shall bear the
