allotment under section 702(c) of this title, for each quarter, of an 
amount equal to four-sevenths of the total of the sums expended by the 
State during such quarter in carrying out the provisions of this

(b) Unobligated allotments

    Any amount payable to a State under this subchapter from allotments 
for a fiscal year which remains unobligated at the end of such year 
shall remain available to such State for obligation during the next 
fiscal year. No payment may be made to a State under this subchapter 
from allotments for a fiscal year for expenditures made after the 
following fiscal year.

(c) Reduction of payments; fair market value of supplies or equipment, 
        value of salaries, travel expenses, etc.

    The Secretary, at the request of a State, may reduce the amount of 
payments under subsection (a) of this section by--
        (1) the fair market value of any supplies or equipment furnished 
    the State, and
        (2) the amount of the pay, allowances, and travel expenses of 
    any officer or employee of the Government when detailed to the State 
    and the amount of any other costs incurred in connection with the 
    detail of such officer or employee,

when the furnishing of supplies or equipment or the detail of an officer 
or employee is for the convenience of and at the request of the State 
and for the purpose of conducting activities described in section 705(a) 
of this title on a temporary basis. The amount by which any payment is 
so reduced shall be available for payment by the Secretary of the costs 
incurred in furnishing the supplies or equipment or in detailing the 
personnel, on which the reduction of the payment is based, and the 
amount shall be deemed to be part of the payment and shall be deemed to 
have been paid to the State.
