Sec. 13754. Allocation and distribution of funds


(a) State distribution

    For each payment period, the Attorney General shall allocate out of 
the amount appropriated for the period under the authority of section 
13752 of this title--
        (1) 0.25 percent to each State; and
        (2) of the total amount of funds remaining after allocation 
    under paragraph (1), an amount that is equal to the ratio that the 
    number of part 1 violent crimes reported by such State to the 
    Federal Bureau of Investigation for 1993 bears to the number of part 
    1 violent crimes reported by all States to the Federal Bureau of 
    Investigation for 1993.

(b) Local distribution

    (1) The Attorney General shall allocate among the units of general 
local government in a State the amount allocated to the State under 
paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of this section.
    (2) The Attorney General shall allocate to each unit of general 
local government an amount which bears the ratio that the number of part 
1 violent crimes reported by such unit to the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation for 1993 bears to the number of part 1 violent crimes 
reported by all units in the State in which the unit is located to the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation for 1993 multiplied by the ratio of the 
population living in all units in the State in which the unit is located 
that reported part 1 violent crimes to the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation for 1993 bears to the population of the State; or if such 
data are not available for a unit, the ratio that the population of such 
unit bears to the population of all units in the State in which the unit 
is located for which data are not available multiplied by the ratio of 
the population living in units in the State in which the unit is located 
for which data are not available bears to the population of the State.
    (3) If under paragraph (2) a unit is allotted less than $5,000 for 
the payment period, the amount allotted shall be transferred to the 
Governor of the State who shall equitably distribute the allocation to 
all such units or consortia thereof.
    (4) If there is in a State a unit of general local government that 
has been incorporated since the date of the collection of the data used 
by the Attorney General in making allocations pursuant to this section, 
the Attorney General shall allocate to this newly incorporated local 
government, out of the amount allocated to the State under this section, 
an amount bearing the same ratio to the amount allocated to the State as 
the population of the newly incorporated local government bears to the 
population of the State. If there is in the State a unit of general 
local government that has been annexed since the date of the collection 
of the data used by the Attorney General in making allocations pursuant 
to this section, the Attorney General shall pay the amount that would 
have been allocated to this local government to the unit of general 
local government that annexed it.

(c) Unavailability of information

    For purposes of this section, if data regarding part 1 violent 
crimes in any State for 1993 is unavailable or substantially inaccurate, 
the Attorney General shall utilize the best available comparable data 
regarding the number of violent crimes for 1993 for such State for the 
purposes of allocation of any funds under this part.
