(2)prior to the integration of the national electronic interstate data exchange system in all States. Such pilot program shall include not less than 10 States and not more than 15 States. The Secretary of Health and Human Services may assist States in the integration of this system into the infrastructure of each State using funds appropriated under this subsection.
