   1. The funds resulting from this apportionment are available to States that contain one or more counties (including any political subdivision located within the area) in the Appalachian region, as defined in section 14102(a) of title 40, U.S.C.

   2. After reserving the applicable administrative takedown described in paragraph (2), and in consultation with the Appalachian Regional Commission, the funds are apportioned to Appalachian States according to the percentages derived from the 2021 Appalachian Development Highway System Cost-to-Complete Estimate, dated March 2021, and confirmed as each Appalachian State’s relative share of the estimated remaining need to complete the ADHS, adjusted to exclude those corridors that such States have no current plans to complete, as reported in the 2013 Appalachian Development Highway System Completion Report, unless those States have modified and assigned a higher priority for completion of an ADHS corridor, as reported in the 2020 Appalachian Development Highway System Future Outlook.

   3. The apportionments shall be adjusted so that (1) no Appalachian State is apportioned an amount in excess of 30 percent of the amount made available; (2) each Appalachian State receives at least $10,000,000; and (3) notwithstanding item (2), an Appalachian State does not receive an apportionment that exceeds the remaining funds needed to complete the ADHS corridor(s) in the State, as identified in the latest available cost to complete estimate for the ADHS prepared by the Appalachian Regional Commission.

   4. For a project carried out with funds made available for construction of the ADHS, such funds shall be made available for obligation in the same manner as if apportioned under chapter 1 of title 23, U.S.C., except that: (1) the Federal share of the cost of any project carried out with those amounts shall be determined in accordance with section 14501 of title 40, U.S.C.; and (2) the amounts shall be available to construct highways and access roads under section 14501 of title 40, U.S.C. The Federal share of the cost of a project carried out with funds made available for construction of the ADHS under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law shall be up to 100 percent, as determined by the State.
