Defines key words used for the grant programs under sections 300x and 300x–21. It explains which program applies, what counts as a funding agreement, who counts as a State, which places are U.S. territories, who the Comptroller General is, and what interim services mean. "Program involved" — says whether the State is applying for or getting grants under section 300x, section 300x–21, or both. "Funding agreement" — means the funding contract described in section 300x–8 for 300x grants and in section 300x–34 for 300x–21 grants. "Comptroller General" — means the Comptroller General of the United States. "State" — means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the listed U.S. territories, except where sections 300x–7(c)(5) and 300x–33(c)(5) limit that meaning. "Territories of the United States" — names Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, Palau, the Marshall Islands, and Micronesia. "Interim services" — short-term care given to someone denied immediate substance use treatment because the program is full, to reduce harm and disease risk until they can enter treatment.
