"(4) Sums apportioned under this section shall be available for obligation by the Governor or designated recipient for a period of three years following the close of the fiscal year for which such sums are apportioned. Any amounts so apportioned remaining unobligated at the end of such period shall be added to the amount available for apportionment under this section for the succeeding fiscal year, except that any funds authorized by section 5(a)(3) and (4) which are so reapportioned shall remain subject to the limitations applicable to the original apportionment of such funds.".
