or project if such amounts were specifically appropriated or otherwise 
made available to the State by a Federal statute.
    (b) Limitation.--A State may supplement disaster relief using 
amounts described in subsection (a) only if the purpose of such 
disaster relief is related to the purpose of the program or project for 
which the amounts were appropriated or otherwise made available to the 
State.
    (c) Applicability.--Subsection (a) shall apply to amounts 
appropriated or otherwise made available to a State before, on, or
