§300y. Categorical grants to States
(a) Grants for States with insufficient capacity
(1) In general
The Secretary, acting through the Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, may make grants to States for the purpose of increasing the maximum number of individuals to whom public and nonprofit private entities in the States are capable of providing effective treatment for substance abuse.
(2) Eligible States
The Director may not make a grant under subsection (a) of this section to a State unless the number of individuals seeking treatment services in the State significantly exceeds the maximum number described in paragraph (1) that is applicable to the State.
(b) Priority in making grants
(1) Residential treatment services for pregnant women
In making grants under subsection (a) of this section, the Director shall give priority to States that agree to give priority in the expenditure of the grant to carrying out the purpose described in such subsection as the purpose relates to the provision of residential treatment services to pregnant women.
(2) Additional priority regarding matching funds
In the case of any application for a grant under subsection (a) of this section that is receiving priority under paragraph (1), the Director shall give further priority to the application if the State involved agrees as a condition of receiving the grant to provide non-Federal contributions under subsection (c) of this section in a greater amount than the amount required under such subsection for the applicable fiscal year.
(c) Requirement of matching funds
(1) In general
Subject to paragraph (3), the Director may not make a grant under subsection (a) of this section unless the State agrees, with respect to the costs of the program to be carried out by the State pursuant to such subsection, to make available (directly or through donations from public or private entities) non-Federal contributions toward such costs in an amount that is—
(A) for the first fiscal year for which the State receives such a grant, not less than $1 for each $9 of Federal funds provided in the grant;
(B) for any second or third such fiscal year, not less than $1 for each $9 of Federal funds provided in the grant; and
(C) for any subsequent such fiscal year, not less than $1 for each $3 of Federal funds provided in the grant.
(2) Determination of amount of non-Federal contribution
Non-Federal contributions required in paragraph (1) may be in cash or in kind, fairly evaluated, including plant, equipment, or services. Amounts provided by the Federal Government, or services assisted or subsidized to any significant extent by the Federal Government, may not be included in determining the amount of such non-Federal contributions.
(3) Waiver
The Director may waive the requirement established in paragraph (1) if the Director determines that extraordinary economic conditions in the State justify the waiver.
(d) Limitation regarding direct treatment services
The Director may not make a grant under subsection (a) of this section unless the State involved agrees that the grant will be expended only for the direct provision of treatment services. The preceding sentence may not be construed to authorize the expenditure of such a grant for the planning or evaluation of treatment services.
(e) Requirement of application
The Secretary may not make a grant under subsection (a) of this section unless an application for the grant is submitted to the Secretary and the application is in such form, is made in such manner, and contains such agreements, assurances, and information as the Secretary determines to be necessary to carry out this section.
(f) Duration of grant
The period during which payments are made to a State from a grant under subsection (a) of this section may not exceed 5 years. The provision of such payments shall be subject to annual approval by the Director of the payments and subject to the availability of appropriations for the fiscal year involved to make the payments.
(g) Maintenance of effort
The Director may not make a grant under subsection (a) of this section unless the State involved agrees to maintain State expenditures for substance abuse treatment services at a level that is not less than the average level of such expenditures maintained by the State for the 2-year period preceding the first fiscal year for which the State receives such a grant.
(h) Restrictions on use of grant
The Director may not make a grant under subsection (a) of this section unless the State involved agrees that the grant will not be expended—

§300y–11. Interim maintenance treatment
(a) Requirement regarding Secretary
Subject to the following subsections of this section, for the purpose of reducing the incidence of the transmission of HIV disease pursuant to the intravenous abuse of heroin or other morphine-like drugs, the Secretary, in establishing conditions for the use of methadone in public or nonprofit private programs of treatment for dependence on such drugs, shall authorize such programs—
(1) to dispense methadone for treatment purposes to individuals who—
(A) meet the conditions for admission to such programs that dispense methadone as part of comprehensive treatment for such dependence; and
(B) are seeking admission to such programs that so dispense methadone, but as a result of the limited capacity of the programs, will not gain such admission until 14 or more days after seeking admission to the programs; and
(2) in dispensing methadone to such individuals, to provide only minimum ancillary services during the period in which the individuals are waiting for admission to programs of comprehensive treatment.
(b) Inapplicability of requirement in certain circumstances
(1) In general

(A) The preponderance of scientific research indicates that the risk of the transmission of HIV disease pursuant to the intravenous abuse of drugs is minimal.
(B) The preponderance of scientific research indicates that the medically supervised dispensing of methadone is not an effective method of reducing the extent of dependence on heroin and other morphine-like drugs.
(C) The preponderance of available data indicates that, of treatment programs that dispense methadone as part of comprehensive treatment, a substantial majority admit all individuals seeking services to the programs not later than 14 days after the individuals seek admission to the programs.
(2) Evaluation by Secretary
In evaluating whether any or all of the conditions described in paragraph (1) have been met, the Secretary shall consult with the National Commission on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

(1) In general
In carrying out the requirement established in subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall, after consultation with the National Commission on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, by regulation issue such conditions for treatment programs to obtain authorization from the Secretary to provide interim maintenance treatment as may be necessary to carry out the purpose described in such subsection. Such conditions shall include conditions for preventing the unauthorized use of methadone.
(2) Counseling on HIV disease
The regulations issued under paragraph (1) shall provide that an authorization described in such paragraph may not be issued to a treatment program unless the program provides to recipients of the treatment counseling on preventing exposure to and the transmission of HIV disease.
(3) Permission of relevant State as condition of authorization
The regulations issued under paragraph (1) shall provide that the Secretary may not provide an authorization described in such paragraph to any treatment program in a State unless the chief public health officer of the State has certified to the Secretary that—
(A) such officer does not object to the provision of such authorizations to treatment programs in the State; and
(B) the provision of interim maintenance services in the State will not reduce the capacity of comprehensive treatment programs in the State to admit individuals to the programs (relative to the date on which such officer so certifies).

The Secretary shall issue the final rule for purposes of the regulations required in paragraph (1), and such rule shall be effective, not later than the expiration of the 180-day period beginning on July 10, 1992.
