§10563 — Title 34 Navy | U.S. Code

Summary

Each year, 85% of the money for this program must go to eligible States based on population. States that meet the rules in section 10562 get a share equal to their portion of the total population. Fifteen percent is for competitive grants the Attorney General can award to States and local governments. When picking winners, the Attorney General must consider each State’s average annual Part 1 violent crimes reported to the FBI for the three most recent calendar years and the applicant’s existing resources and needs. Every State must get at least 1% of the total. If there isn’t enough money to give every State 1%, the Attorney General must reduce the 85% population-based shares to cover the shortfall, cutting them in the same proportions they would have had. The word “State” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. For the allocation rules, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands count as one State, with 67% of that combined share going to American Samoa and 33% to the Northern Mariana Islands.

(a)(1)Eighty-five percent of the amount made available to carry out this subchapter in each fiscal year shall be allocated to each State that meets the requirements of section 10562 of this title so that each State shall receive an amount that bears the same ratio to the 85 percent of the total amount made available to carry out this subchapter for that fiscal year as the population of the State bears to the population of all States.

(2)Fifteen percent of the amount made available to carry out this subchapter in each fiscal year shall be allocated pursuant to the Attorney General’s discretion for competitive awards to States and units of local government. In making awards under this subchapter, the Attorney General shall consider the average annual number of part 1 violent crimes reported by each State to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the 3 most recent calendar years for which data is available and consider the existing resources and current needs of the potential grant recipient.

(3)Each State shall receive not less than 1 percent of the amount made available to carry out this subchapter in each fiscal year.

(4)If the amounts available to carry out this subchapter in each fiscal year are insufficient to pay in full the total payment that any State is otherwise eligible to receive under paragraph (3), then the Attorney General shall reduce payments under paragraph (1) for such payment period to the extent of such insufficiency. Reductions under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the States (other than States whose payment is determined under paragraph (3)) in the same proportions as amounts would be allocated under paragraph (1) without regard to paragraph (3).

(b)In this section, the term “State” means each of the several States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, except that—

(1)for purposes of the allocation under this section, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands shall be considered as 1 State; and

(2)for purposes of paragraph (1), 67 percent of the amount allocated shall be allocated to American Samoa, and 33 percent shall be allocated to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
