Sec. 291j-2. Allocation among States


(a) Allotment regulations

    For each fiscal year, the total amount of principal of loans to 
nonprofit private agencies which may be guaranteed or loans to public 
agencies which may be directly made under this part shall be allotted by 
the Secretary among the States, in accordance with regulations, on the 
basis of each State's relative population, financial need, need for 
construction of the facilities referred to in section 291j-1(a) of this 
title, and need for modernization of such facilities.

(b) Reallotment

    Any amount allotted under subsection (a) of this section to a State 
for a fiscal year ending before July 1, 1973, and remaining unobligated 
at the end of such year shall remain available to such State, for the 
purpose for which made, for the next two fiscal years (and for such 
years only), and any such amount shall be in addition to the amounts 
allotted to such State for such purpose for each of such next two fiscal 
years; except that, with the consent of any such State, any such amount 
remaining unobligated at the end of the first of such next fiscal year 
may be reallotted (on such basis as the Secretary deems equitable and 
consistent with the purposes of this subchapter) to other States which 
have need therefor. Any amounts so reallotted to a State shall be 
available for the purposes for which made until the close of the second 
such next two fiscal years and shall be in addition to the amount 
allotted and available to such State for the same period.

(c) Time of availability of amounts for subsequent allotment

    Any amount allotted or reallotted to a State under this section for 
a fiscal year shall not, until the expiration of the period during which 
it is available for obligation, be considered as available for allotment 
for a subsequent fiscal year.

(d) Modernization or construction commenced on or after January 1, 1968

    The allotments of any State under subsection (a) of this section for 
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971, and the succeeding fiscal year 
shall also be available to guarantee loans with respect to any project, 
for modernization or construction of a nonprofit private hospital or 
other health facility referred to in section 291j-1(a)(1) of this title, 
if the modernization or construction of such facility was not commenced 
earlier than January 1, 1968, and if the State certifies and the 
Secretary finds that without such guaranteed loan such facility could 
not be completed and begin to operate or could not continue to operate, 
but with such guaranteed loan would be able to do so: Provided, That 
this subsection shall not apply to more than two projects in any one 
State.
