This section defines terms used in this part of the law, like "program involved," "funding agreement," "State," and "interim services." It explains which places count as a "State" and what "interim services" means for people waiting to get substance use disorder treatment.

(a) Definitions for this subpart (1) "Program involved" means the grant program under section 300x or section 300x–21, or both — whichever the State is getting or applying for. (2)(A) For a grant under section 300x, "funding agreement" means whatever section 300x–8 of this title says it means. (2)(B) For a grant under section 300x–21, "funding agreement" means whatever section 300x–34 of this title says it means. (b) Definitions for this part (1) "Comptroller General" means the Comptroller General of the United States. (2) "State" means each of the several States, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. territory — except where sections 300x–7(c)(5) and 300x–33(c)(5) of this title say otherwise. (3) "Territories of the United States" means Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, Palau, the Marshall Islands, and Micronesia. (4) "Interim services" applies to someone who needs substance use disorder treatment but was turned away because a treatment program lacked the capacity to admit them. It means services that reduce the health harm from the disorder, promote the person's health, and lower the risk that disease will spread — given to the person until they are admitted to a full treatment program.
