"(2) No grant may be made under paragraph (1) unless an application therefor has been submitted to the Administrator in such form and manner as he may re(}uire. The Administrator may not approve an application of a State for its first grant under paragraph (1) unless he determines that the State— " (A) has established or will establish within one year from the date of such grant a public water system supervision program, and " (B) will, within that one year, assume primary enforcement responsibility for public water systems within the State. No grant may be made to a State under paragraph (1) for any period beginning more than one year after the date of the State's first grant unless the State has assumed and maintains primary enforcement responsibility for public water systems within the State. "(3) A grant under paragraph (1) shall be made to cover not more than 75 per centum of the grant recipient's costs (as determined under regulations of the Administrator) in carrying out, during the one-year period beginning on the date the grant is made, a public water system supervision program. " (4) In each fiscal year the Administrator shall, in accordance with regulations, allot the sums appropriated for such year under paragraph (5) among the States on the basis of population, geographical area, number of public water systems, and other relevant factors. No State shall receive less than 1 per centum of the annual appropriation for grants under paragraph (1): Provided, That the Administrator may, by regulation, reduce such percentage in accordance with the criteria specified in this paragraph: And provided, further, That such percentage shall not apply to grants allotted to Guam, American Samoa, or the Virgin Islands.
