(C) In computing the distribution of funds allocated under this paragraph, the allot- ments to Tuskegee University and Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University shall be determined as if each institution were in a separate State. (4) Special amounts (A) Definitions In this paragraph: (i) Covered fiscal year The term ‘‘covered fiscal year’’ means the fiscal year for which the qualified eli- gible institution first received an alloca- tion of $3,000,000 under subparagraph (B)(i). (ii) Other eligible institution The term ‘‘other eligible institution’’ means an eligible institution, other than the qualified eligible institution, receiving an allocation of funds under this section. (iii) Qualified eligible institution The term ‘‘qualified eligible institution’’ means the eligible institution described in subparagraph (B)(i).

(ii) Limitation Clause (i) shall apply only if amounts are appropriated under this section in an amount sufficient to provide that each other eligible institution receiving an allo- cation of funds under this section for fiscal year 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022, as applicable, receives not less than the amount of funds received by that other eligible institution under this section for the preceding fiscal year.

(II) Reductions in allocations In the case of a fiscal year to which this clause applies, reductions in alloca- tions shall be made proportionally from the qualified eligible institution and from each other eligible institution based on the increased amounts (if any) that the qualified eligible institution and each other eligible institution were allocated for the covered fiscal year as compared to the fiscal year immediately preceding the covered fiscal year. (iii) Effect of census Clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply in any fiscal year for which a shortfall in the minimum additional funding amounts de- scribed in clause (i) is attributable to the incorporation of new census data into the calculation under paragraph (3), as deter- mined by the Secretary. (c) Comprehensive program of extension for each State The State director of the cooperative exten- sion service and the extension administrator at the eligible institution in each State where an eligible institution is located shall jointly de- velop, by mutual agreement, a comprehensive program of extension for such State to be sub- mitted for approval by the Secretary within one year after September 29, 1977 and each five years thereafter.
