The Secretary must withhold a State’s annual allocation when the State has not met this subchapter’s requirements or its regulations. The Secretary must report the decision and keep the money separate until the next Congress; money Congress does not direct to be paid goes to surplus.
If the Secretary* determines that a State* is not entitled to receive its allocation of the annual appropriation under subsection (c) of section 3195 of this title to carry out subsection (a) of such section because of its failure to satisfy requirements of this subchapter or regulations issued under it, the Secretary shall withhold such amount. The facts and reasons concerning the determination and withholding shall be reported to the President; and the amount involved shall be kept separate in the Treasury until the close of the next Congress. If the next Congress does not direct such sum to be paid, it shall be carried to surplus.
