(a) Payments
Subject to appropriations provided pursuant to section 9123 of

(A) Requirement
(i) In general
The amount otherwise payable to a State for a fiscal year
pursuant to an allotment under this part shall be reduced if
the level of State expenditures, as described in paragraph
(2), for the previous fiscal year is less than the average of
the total of such expenditures for the 3 fiscal years
preceding that previous fiscal year. The amount of the
reduction in the allotment for any fiscal year shall be equal
to the allotment multiplied by a fraction -
(I) the numerator of which is the result obtained by
subtracting the level of such State expenditures for the
fiscal year for which the determination is made, from the
average of the total level of such State expenditures for
the 3 fiscal years preceding the fiscal year for which the
determination is made; and
(II) the denominator of which is the average of the total
level of such State expenditures for the 3 fiscal years
preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is
made.
(ii) Calculation
Any decrease in State expenditures resulting from the
application of subparagraph (B) shall be excluded from the
calculation of the average level of State expenditures for
any 3-year period described in clause (i).
(B) Decrease in Federal support
If the amount made available under this subchapter for a
fiscal year is less than the amount made available under this
subchapter for the preceding fiscal year, then the expenditures
required by subparagraph (A) for such preceding fiscal year
shall be decreased by the same percentage as the percentage
decrease in the amount so made available.
(2) Level of State expenditures
The level of State expenditures for the purposes of paragraph
(1) shall include all State dollars expended by the State library
administrative agency for library programs that are consistent
with the purposes of this subchapter. All funds included in the
maintenance of effort calculation under this subsection shall be
expended during the fiscal year for which the determination is
made, and shall not include capital expenditures, special
one-time project costs, or similar windfalls.
(3) Waiver
The Director may waive the requirements of paragraph (1) if the
Director determines that such a waiver would be equitable due to
exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances such as a natural
disaster or a precipitous and unforeseen decline in the financial
resources of the State.
