multiplied by

percent, or decrease the amount
otherwise so payable to 110 percent, as
the case may be, of the amount
otherwise so payable.
``(III) Adjustment to ensure all
base grant funds are allocated.--If the
amount described by subclause (I)(aa)
is different than the total of the
amounts otherwise described by

obligations from non-federal funds.--
For purposes of this clause, the total
amount obligated by an eligible entity

required by law for a fiscal year, the
amount made available for matching
grants under this clause for the fiscal
year is insufficient to provide the
