(a) The Administrator will determine, based on the most current available information (generally that information used to determine the allocation to States of FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 housing loan funds), those States with the highest degree of substandard housing and persons in poverty in rural areas eligible to receive FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 housing assistance. The Administrator will distribute a portion of the available funds for TSA to these States, leaving the balance available for national competition.
