The term State means— each of the 50 States; the District of Columbia; and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The term United States territory means— American Samoa; the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; the United States Virgin Islands; and Guam. For each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028, of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year, the Administrator shall provide an allotment of not less than 0.1 percent for Buy American oversight. For each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028, of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year, the Administrator shall provide an allotment to each State in an amount that is not less than the amount received by the State under this section in fiscal year 2023 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 ( Public Law 117–328 ). Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, for each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028, of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year that remain available after application of subparagraph (B), the Administrator shall provide an additional allotment to each State in an amount that is based on the proportion that, as determined using the most recently published annual estimate of the Bureau of the Census— the population of the State; bears to the total population of all States. For each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028, of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year, the Administrator shall provide an allotment of 2 percent to Indian tribes. For each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028, of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year, the Administrator shall provide an allotment of 1.5 percent to United States territories. For fiscal year 2029 and each fiscal year thereafter, in allotting amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year, the Administrator shall use an updated allotment formula consistent with subparagraph (B). The Administrator shall, by regulation, develop a formula— for the calculation of allotments of amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year to States in accordance with clause (ii); and that includes allotments of amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year— to provide to Indian tribes in accordance with clause (iii); to provide to United States territories in accordance with clause (iv); and for Buy American oversight in accordance with clause (v). In developing the formula required under subparagraph
(A)for the allotments described in clause (i)(I), the Administrator shall— base the formula on the needs of the States, as identified in the most recently available clean watersheds needs survey; and ensure that each State receives not less than 1 percent of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year. In developing the formula required under subparagraph
(A)for the allotments described in clause (i)(II)(aa), the Administrator shall provide 2 percent of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year to Indian tribes. In developing the formula required under subparagraph
(A)for the allotments described in clause (i)(II)(bb), the Administrator shall provide 1.5 percent of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year to United States territories. In developing the formula required under subparagraph
(A)for the allotments described in clause (i)(II)(cc), the Administrator shall ensure that 0.1 percent of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year are used for Buy American oversight. The Administrator shall develop the initial formula required under subparagraph
(A)by not later than September 30, 2028, to ensure that the formula is in effect for fiscal year 2029. After developing the formula required under subparagraph
(A)by the date described in clause (i), the Administrator shall update that formula by not later than the date that is 1 year after the date on which the Administrator submits a new clean watersheds needs survey to Congress. To the extent practicable, the Administrator shall continue developing the allotment formula under paragraph
(2)until the date on which the Administrator submits to Congress a new clean watersheds needs survey for purposes of the formula required under paragraph (3)(A). . Nothing in this section or an amendment made by this section affects— amounts made available to carry out section 205 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act ( 33 U.S.C. 1285 ) or title VI of that Act ( 33 U.S.C. 1381 et seq. ) under division J of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ( Public Law 117–58 ; 135 Stat. 1350); or any allocations of those amounts.
