``(A)(i) the State involved will use the waiver to
leverage private funds to supplement each of the
services or activities described in paragraphs (1) and
(2) of section 1501(a); or
``(ii) the application of such requirements would
result in a barrier to the participation of qualifying

paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 1501(a);
``(B) granting such a waiver to the State will not
reduce the number of women in the State who receive any

paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 1501(a); or
``(II) without an extension of the waiver,
the application of the requirements of

1501(a);
``(ii) the waiver has not reduced, and
granting the waiver extension will not reduce,
the number of women in the State who receive

affected, and granting the waiver extension
