Administrator pursuant to paragraph (1)(A) or (3) of section 1032(b) of 
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1532(b)), the Administrator 
may, notwithstanding such paragraphs, provide to the eligible coalition 
the grant or renewal grant, as applicable, for that fiscal year in an

            (1) with respect to an initial grant or renewal grant 
        described under paragraph (1)(A) or (3)(A) of such section, 
        that exceeds the amount of non-Federal funds raised by the 
        eligible coalition, including in-kind contributions, for that 
        fiscal year;
            (2) with respect to a renewal grant described under 
        paragraph (3)(D)(i) of such section, that exceeds 125 percent 
        of the amount of non-Federal funds raised by the eligible 
        coalition, including in-kind contributions, for that fiscal 
        year; and
            (3) with respect to a renewal grant described under 
        paragraph (3)(D)(ii) of such section, that exceeds 150 percent 
        of the amount of non-Federal funds raised by the eligible 
        coalition, including in-kind contributions, for that fiscal 
        year.
    (b) Limitation.--The Administrator may not provide a grant or 
renewal grant to an eligible coalition in an amount exceeding the 
amount of funds initially agreed to be provided by the Administrator 
under the applicable agreement.
