unless the Attorney General certifies that extraordinary and exigent 
circumstances exist that make the use of funds for such purposes 
essential to the maintenance of public safety and good order in such 
unit of local government.
    ``(c) Timing of Payments.--The Director shall pay each unit of 
local government that has submitted an application under this title not 
later than--
            ``(1) 90 days after the date that the amount is available, 
        or

            ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the Director 
        shall adjust a payment under this title to a unit of local 
        government to the extent that a prior payment to the unit of 
        local government was more or less than the amount required to

        decrease under this subsection a payment to a unit of local 
        government only if the Director determines the need for the 
        increase or decrease, or if the unit requests the increase or 
        decrease, not later than 1 year after the end of the payment 
        period for which a payment was made.
    ``(e) Reservation for Adjustment.--The Director may reserve a 
percentage of not more than 2 percent of the amount under this section

            ``(1) Repayment required.--A unit of local government shall 
        repay to the Director, by not later than 27 months after

        to be repaid is not repaid, the Director shall reduce payment 
        in future payment periods accordingly.

        Director as repayments under this subsection shall be deposited 
        in a designated fund for future payments to units of local 
        government. Any amounts remaining in such designated fund after 
        5 years following the enactment of the Local Government Law 
        Enforcement Block Grants Act of 1995 shall be applied to the 
        Federal deficit or, if there is no Federal deficit, to reducing 
        the Federal debt.
    ``(g) Nonsupplanting Requirement.--Funds made available under this 
title to units of local government shall not be used to supplant State 
or local funds, but shall be used to increase the amount of funds that 
would, in the absence of funds made available under this title, be made 
available from State or local sources.

``SEC. 104. ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS.

    ``(a) State Set-aside.--

        this title for each payment period, the Director shall allocate 
        for units of local government in each State an amount that 
        bears the same ratio to such total as the average annual number 
        of part 1 violent crimes reported by such State to the Federal 
        Bureau of Investigation for the 3 most recent calendar years 
        for which such data is available, bears to the number of part 1 
        violent crimes reported by all States to the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation for such years.
            ``(2) Minimum requirement.--Each State shall receive not 
        less than .25 percent of the total amounts appropriated under 
        section 102 under this subsection for each payment period.
            ``(3) Proportional reduction.--If amounts available to 
        carry out paragraph (2) for any payment period are insufficient 
        to pay in full the total payment that any State is otherwise 
        eligible to receive under paragraph (1) for such period, then 
        the Director shall reduce payments under paragraph (1) for such 
        payment period to the extent of such insufficiency. Reductions 
        under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the 
        States (other than States whose payment is determined under 
        paragraph (2)) in the same proportions as amounts would be 
        allocated under paragraph (1) without regard to paragraph (2).
    ``(b) Local Distribution.--
            ``(1) In general.--From the amount reserved for each State 
        under subsection (a), the Director shall allocate--
