"(A) on the basis of a formula prescribed by the Secretary which is based equally— "(i) on the population of each State, and "(ii) the population of each State weighted by its relative per capita income, or "(B) on the basis of the amount received by a State in fiscal year 1984, whichever yields a higher amount. For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term 'relative per capita income' means the quotient of the per capita income of the United States and the per capita income of the State, except that if the State is Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands, the quotient shall be considered to be one. "(2) If the amount available for allotment from appropriations under section 1911 for a fiscal year is at least $490,000,000, the Secretary shall allot $490,000,000 in accordance with paragraph (1) and shall allot the amount which is in excess of such amount on the basis of the formula described in paragraph (I)(A). "(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if the aggregate of the amounts to be allotted to each State pursuant to paragraph (I)(B) in any fiscal year exceeds the total amount available for allotment from appropriations under section 1911, the amount to be allotted to a State for such fiscal year shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount which is to be allotted to the State pursuant to such paragraph as the total amount available for allotment from appropriations under section 1911 bears to the total of the amount required to be appropriated and made available under such section for allotments to provide each State with the allotment required by such paragraph.

"(b)(1) If the Secretary— "(A) receives a request from the governing body of an Indian tribe or tribal organization within any State that funds under this part be provided directly by the Secretary to such tribe or organization, and "(B) determines that the members of such tribe or tribal organization would be better served by means of grants made directly by the Secretary on this part, the Secretary shall reserve from amounts which would otherwise be allotted to such State under subsection (a) for the fiscal year the amount determined under paragraph (2). "(2) The Secretary shall reserve for the purpose of paragraph (1) from amounts that would otherwise be allotted to such State under subsection (a) an amount equal to the amount which bears the same
