There are authorized to be appropriated such funds as Congress may
determine necessary to support continuing animal health and disease
research programs at eligible institutions, but not to exceed
$25,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 1991 through 2007, and not in
excess of such sums as may after September 29, 1977, be authorized by
law for any subsequent fiscal year. Funds appropriated under this
section shall be used: (1) to meet expenses of conducting animal health
and disease research, publishing and disseminating the results of such
research, and contributing to the retirement of employees subject to the
provisions of section 331 of this title; (2) for administrative planning
and direction; and (3) to purchase equipment and supplies necessary for
conducting such research.
(b) Apportionment of appropriated funds
Funds appropriated under subsection (a) of this section for any
fiscal year shall be apportioned as follows:
(1) Four per centum shall be retained by the Department of
Agriculture for administration, program assistance to the eligible
institutions, and program coordination.
(2) Forty-eight per centum shall be distributed among the
several States in the proportion that the value of and income to
producers from domestic livestock, poultry, and commercial
aquaculture species in each State bears to the total value of and
income to producers from domestic livestock, poultry, and commercial
aquaculture species in all the States. The Secretary shall determine
the total value of and income from domestic livestock, poultry, and
commercial aquaculture species in all the States and the
proportionate value of and income from domestic livestock, poultry,
and commercial aquaculture species for each State, based on the most
current inventory of all cattle, sheep, swine, horses, poultry, and
commercial aquaculture species published by the Department of
Agriculture.
(3) Forty-eight per centum shall be distributed among the
several States in the proportion that the animal health research
capacity of the eligible institutions in each State bears to the
total animal health research capacity in all the States. The
Secretary shall determine the animal health research capacity of the
eligible institutions.
(c) Development of program for each State
In each State with one or more accredited colleges of veterinary
medicine, the deans of the accredited college or colleges and the
director of the State agricultural experiment station shall develop a
comprehensive animal health and disease research program for the State
based on the animal health research capacity of each eligible
institution in the State, which shall be submitted to the Secretary for
approval and shall be used for the allocation of funds available to the
State under this section.
(d) Use of excess funds
When the amount available under this section for allotment to any
State on the basis of domestic livestock, poultry, and commercial
aquaculture species values and income exceeds the amount for which the
eligible institution or institutions in the State are eligible on the
basis of animal health research capacity, the excess may be used, at the
discretion of the Secretary, for remodeling of facilities, construction
of new facilities, or increase in staffing, proportionate to the need
for added research capacity.
(e) Reallocation of funds to new colleges of veterinary medicine
Whenever a new college of veterinary medicine is established in a
State and is accredited, the Secretary, after consultation with the dean
of such college and the director of the State agricultural experiment
station and, where applicable, deans of other accredited colleges in the
State, shall provide for the reallocation of funds available to the
State pursuant to subsection (b) of this section between the new college
and other eligible institutions in the State, based on the animal health
research capacity of each eligible institution.
(f) Joint establishment or support of accredited regional college of
veterinary medicine
Whenever two or more States jointly establish an accredited regional
college of veterinary medicine or jointly support an accredited college
of veterinary medicine serving the States involved, the Secretary is
authorized to make funds which are available to such States pursuant to
subsection (b)(2) of this section available for such college in such
amount that reflects the combined relative value of and income from
domestic livestock, poultry, and commercial aquaculture species in the
cooperating States, such amount to be adjusted, as necessary, pursuant
to the provisions of subsections (c) and (e) of this section.
