(a) In general

    Subject to subsection (b) of this section, of the amount that is 
made available under this part to an eligible provider--
        (1) not less than 95 percent shall be expended for carrying out 
    adult education and literacy activities; and
        (2) the remaining amount, not to exceed 5 percent, shall be used 
    for planning, administration, personnel development, and interagency 
    coordination.

(b) Special rule

    In cases where the cost limits described in subsection (a) of this 
section are too restrictive to allow for adequate planning, 
administration, personnel development, and interagency coordination, the 
eligible provider shall negotiate with the eligible agency in order to 
determine an adequate level of funds to be used for noninstructional 
purposes.
