(d) Availability and use of funds; reallotment
Sums allotted to the States for a fiscal year
shall remain available for obligation for the fis-
cal year for which authorized and for the period
of the next succeeding twelve months. The
amount of any allotment not obligated by the
end of such twenty-four-month period shall be
immediately reallotted by the Administrator on
the basis of the same ratio as applicable to sums
allotted for the then current fiscal year, except
that none of the funds reallotted by the Admin-
istrator for fiscal year 1978 and for fiscal years
thereafter shall be allotted to any State which
failed to obligate any of the funds being reallot-
ted. Any sum made available to a State by real-
lotment under this subsection shall be in addi-
tion to any funds otherwise allotted to such
State for grants under this subchapter during
any fiscal year.
(e) Minimum allotment; additional appropria-
tions; ratio of amount available
For the fiscal years 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982,
1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990, no
State shall receive less than one-half of 1 per
centum of the total allotment under subsection
(c) of this section, except that in the case of
Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the
Trust Territories not more than thirty-three
one-hundredths of 1 per centum in the aggregate
shall be allotted to all four of these jurisdic-
tions. For the purpose of carrying out this sub-
section there are authorized to be appropriated,
subject to such amounts as are provided in ap-
propriation Acts, not to exceed $75,000,000 for
each of fiscal years 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982,
1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990. If
for any fiscal year the amount appropriated
under authority of this subsection is less than
the amount necessary to carry out this sub-
section, the amount each State receives under
this subsection for such year shall bear the same
ratio to the amount such State would have re-
ceived under this subsection in such year if the
amount necessary to carry it out had been ap-
propriated as the amount appropriated for such
year bears to the amount necessary to carry out
this subsection for such year.
(f) Omitted
(g) Reservation of funds; State management as-
sistance
(1) The Administrator is authorized to reserve
each fiscal year not to exceed 2 per centum of
the amount authorized under section 1287 of this
title for purposes of the allotment made to each
State under this section on or after October 1,
1977, except in the case of any fiscal year begin-
ning on or after October 1, 1981, and ending be-
fore October 1, 1994, in which case the percent-
age authorized to be reserved shall not exceed 4
per centum.2 or $400,000 whichever amount is the
greater. Sums so reserved shall be available for
making grants to such State under paragraph (2)
of this subsection for the same period as sums
are available from such allotment under sub-
section (d) of this section, and any such grant
shall be available for obligation only during
such period. Any grant made from sums reserved
under this subsection which has not been obli-
gated by the end of the period for which avail-
able shall be added to the amount last allotted
to such State under this section and shall be im-
mediately available for obligation in the same
manner and to the same extent as such last al-
lotment. Sums authorized to be reserved by this
paragraph shall be in addition to and not in lieu
of any other funds which may be authorized to
carry out this subsection.
(2) The Administrator is authorized to grant
to any State from amounts reserved to such
State under this subsection, the reasonable
costs of administering any aspects of sections
1281, 1283, 1284, and 1292 of this title the responsi-
bility for administration of which the Adminis-
trator has delegated to such State. The Admin-
istrator may increase such grant to take into
account the reasonable costs of administering
an approved program under section 1342 or 1344
of this title, administering a state-wide waste
treatment management planning program under
section 1288(b)(4) of this title, and managing
waste treatment construction grants for small
communities.
(h) Alternate systems for small communities
The Administrator shall set aside from funds
authorized for each fiscal year beginning on or
after October 1, 1978, a total (as determined by
the Governor of the State) of not less than 4 per-
cent nor more than 71⁄2 percent of the sums al-
lotted to any State with a rural population of 25
per centum or more of the total population of
such State, as determined by the Bureau of the
Census. The Administrator may set aside no
more than 71⁄2 percent of the sums allotted to
any other State for which the Governor requests
Page 427
TITLE 33—NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
§ 1285
such action. Such sums shall be available only
for alternatives to conventional sewage treat-
ment works for municipalities having a popu-
lation of three thousand five hundred or less, or
for the highly dispersed sections of larger mu-
nicipalities, as defined by the Administrator.
(i) Set-aside for innovative and alternative
projects
Not less than 1⁄2 of 1 percent of funds allotted
to a State for each of the fiscal years ending
September 30, 1979, through September 30, 1990,
under subsection (c) of this section shall be ex-
pended only for increasing the Federal share of
grants for construction of treatment works uti-
lizing innovative processes and techniques pur-
suant to section 1282(a)(2) of this title. Including
the expenditures authorized by the preceding
sentence, a total of 2 percent of the funds allot-
ted to a State for each of the fiscal years ending
September 30, 1979, and September 30, 1980, and
3 percent of the funds allotted to a State for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1981, under sub-
section (c) of this section shall be expended only
for increasing grants for construction of treat-
ment works pursuant to section 1282(a)(2) of this
title. Including the expenditures authorized by
the first sentence of this subsection, a total (as
determined by the Governor of the State) of not
less than 4 percent nor more than 71⁄2 percent of
the funds allotted to such State under sub-
section (c) of this section for each of the fiscal
years ending September 30, 1982, through Sep-
tember 30, 1990, shall be expended only for in-
creasing the Federal share of grants for con-
struction of treatment works pursuant to sec-
tion 1282(a)(2) of this title.
(j) Water quality management plan; reservation
of funds for nonpoint source management
(1) The Administrator shall reserve each fiscal
year not to exceed 1 per centum of the sums al-
lotted and available for obligation to each State
under this section for each fiscal year beginning
on or after October 1, 1981, or $100,000, whichever
amount is the greater.
(2) Such sums shall be used by the Adminis-
trator to make grants to the States to carry out
water quality management planning, including,
but not limited to—
(A) identifying most cost effective and lo-
cally acceptable facility and non-point meas-
ures to meet and maintain water quality
standards;
(B) developing an implementation plan to
obtain State and local financial and regu-
latory commitments to implement measures
developed under subparagraph (A);
(C) determining the nature, extent, and
causes of water quality problems in various
areas of the State and interstate region, and
reporting on these annually; and
(D) determining those publicly owned treat-
ment works which should be constructed with
