Sec. 300d-42. Preferences in making grants


(a) In general

    In making grants under section 300d-41(a) of this title, the 
Secretary shall give preference to any application--
        (1) made by a trauma center that, for the purpose specified in 
    such section, will receive financial assistance from the State or 
    political subdivision involved for each fiscal year during which 
    payments are made to the center from the grant, which financial 
    assistance is exclusive of any assistance provided by the State or 
    political subdivision as a non-Federal contribution under any 
    Federal program requiring such a contribution; or
        (2) made by a trauma center that, with respect to the system 
    described in section 300d-41(b)(2) of this title in which the center 
    is a participant--
            (A) is providing trauma care in a geographic area in which 
        the availability of trauma care has significantly decreased as a 
        result of a trauma center in the area permanently ceasing 
        participation in such system as of a date occurring during the 
        2-year period specified in section 300d-41(b)(1)(B) of this 
        title; or
            (B) will, in providing trauma care during the 1-year period 
        beginning on the date on which the application for the grant is 
        submitted, incur uncompensated costs in an amount rendering the 
        center unable to continue participation in such system, 
        resulting in a significant decrease in the availability of 
        trauma care in the geographic area.

(b) Further preference for certain applications

    With respect to applications for grants under section 300d-41 of 
this title that are receiving preference for purposes of subsection (a) 
of this section, the Secretary shall give further preference to any such 
application made by a trauma center for which a disproportionate 
percentage of the uncompensated costs of the center result from the 
provision of trauma care to individuals who neither are citizens nor 
aliens lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence.
