Each State that receives funds under title II of this Act, title III of this Act, or section 403 of title 23, United States Code, shall annually— survey and compile a list of the small business concerns referred to in paragraph

Nothing in this subsection limits the eligibility of an individual or entity to receive funds made available under titles II and III of this Act and section 403 of title 23, United States Code, if the entity or person is prevented, in whole or in part, from complying with paragraph
(2)because a Federal court issues a final order in which the court finds that a requirement or the implementation of paragraph
(2)is unconstitutional.
