Sec. 706. Allotment percentage
(a)(1) For purposes of section 730 of this title, the allotment
percentage for any State shall be 100 per centum less that percentage
which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the per capita income of
such State bears to the per capita income of the United States, except
that--
(A) the allotment percentage shall in no case be more than 75
per centum or less than 33\1/3\ per centum; and

Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands shall be 75 per centum.
(2) The allotment percentages shall be promulgated by the Secretary
between October 1 and December 31 of each even-numbered year, on the
basis of the average of the per capita incomes of the States and of the
United States for the three most recent consecutive years for which
satisfactory data are available from the Department of Commerce. Such
promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the 2 fiscal years in the
period beginning on the October 1 next succeeding such promulgation.
(3) The term ``United States'' means (but only for purposes of this
subsection) the 50 States and the District of Columbia.
(b) The population of the several States and of the United States
shall be determined on the basis of the most recent data available, to

preceding the fiscal year for which funds are appropriated pursuant to
statutory authorizations.
