        shall pay a local educational agency the full amount that the 
        agency is eligible to receive under this title for a fiscal 
        year not later than September 30 of the second fiscal year 
        following the fiscal year in which such amount has been 
        appropriated if, not later than 1 calendar year following the 
        fiscal year in which such amount has been appropriated, each 
        local educational agency that is eligible to receive funds 
        under this title for such fiscal year submits to the Secretary

        which the amount appropriated under section 8014 is 
        insufficient to pay the full amount a local educational agency 
        is eligible to receive under this title, paragraph (1) shall be 
        applied by substituting `is available to pay the agency' for 
        `the agency is eligible to receive' each place it appears.''.
