        amendments made by this section, the State shall not be 
        regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of such 
        amendments before the first day of the first calendar quarter

        building or other facility.
            ``(2) Waiver.--The Secretary may waive the application of 
        paragraph (1) to a State upon the request of the State if the 
        Secretary finds that the request describes extraordinary 
        circumstances to justify the waiver and that permitting the 
        waiver will contribute to the State's ability to carry out the 
        purposes of this section.

        specified under paragraph (3) for all Indian tribes with 
        applications approved under this subsection (based on allotment 
        factors to be determined by the Secretary). The Secretary shall

        applications approved under this subsection. Each Indian tribe 
        with an application approved under this subsection shall be 
        entitled to such minimum allotment.
