determines that the State acted in accordance with section 1926(a)(1) of 
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300y-5(a)(1)) and there is good 
cause for funds remaining unobligated.

next fiscal year. From allotments for fiscal year 1991 through fiscal 
year 1993, a maximum of 10 percent of the amount payable to a grantee 
and not transferred to another block grant according to section 2604(f)

available for the next fiscal year. No funds may be obligated after the 
end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which they were 
allotted.
