Sec. 3796jj-4. Award of grants; limitation


(a) Grant distribution

    In approving grants under this subchapter, the Attorney General 
shall assure an equitable distribution of assistance among the States, 
among urban and rural areas of the United States, and among urban and 
rural areas of a State.

(b) Duration

    The Attorney General may award a grant each fiscal year, not to 
exceed $100,000 to a State or local law enforcement agency or $250,000 
to a law enforcement organization for a period not to exceed 5 years. In 
any application from a State or local law enforcement agency or 
organization for a grant to continue a program for the second, third, 
fourth, or fifth fiscal year following the first fiscal year in which a 
grant was awarded to such agency, the Attorney General shall review the 
progress made toward meeting the objectives of the program. The Attorney 
General may refuse to award a grant if the Attorney General finds 
sufficient progress has not been made toward meeting such objectives, 
but only after affording the applicant notice and an opportunity for 
reconsideration.

(c) Limitation

    Not more than 5 percent of grant funds received by a State or a 
local law enforcement agency or organization may be used for 
administrative purposes.
