The Secretary shall allocate the amounts made available for

this section among OCS Production States as follows:
10
(1) twenty-five percent of the amounts shall be
11
divided equally among OCS Production States.
12
(2) seventy-five percent of the amounts shall be
13
divided among OCS Production States on the basis of

the proximity of each OCS Production State to off-

ALCULATION
.—The amount for each OCS Produc-
18
tion State under paragraph (d)(2) shall be calculated based

on the ratio of qualified OCS revenues generated off the
20
coastline of the OCS Production State to the qualified OCS
21
revenues generated off the coastlines of all OCS Production
22
States for the prior 5-year period. Where there is more than
23
one OCS Production State within 200 miles of a leased
24
tract, the amount of each OCS Production State’s payment
25
†

HR 6 EAS1S/PP
under paragraph (d)(2) for such leased tract shall be in-
1
versely proportional to the distance between the nearest
2
point on the coastline of such State and the geographic cen-
3
ter of each leased tract or portion of the leased tract (to
4
the nearest whole mile) that is within 200 miles of that
5
coastline, as determined by the Secretary. A leased tract or
6
portion of a leased tract shall be excluded if the tract or
7
portion is located in a geographic area where a moratorium
8
on new leasing was in effect on January 1, 2001, unless

Thirty-five percent of each OCS Production State’s allo-

14
directly to the OCS political subdivisions by the Secretary
15
based on the following formula:
16
(1) twenty-five percent shall be allocated based

on the ratio of such OCS political subdivision’s popu-
18
lation to the population of all OCS political subdivi-
19
sions in the OCS Production State.
20
(2) twenty-five percent shall be allocated based
21
on the ratio of such OCS political subdivision’s coast-
22
line miles to the coastline miles of all OCS political
23
subdivisions in the OCS Production State. For pur-
24
poses of this subsection, those OCS political subdivi-
25

sions without coastlines shall be considered to have a
1
coastline that is the average length of the coastlines of
2
all political subdivisions in the State.
3
(3) fifty percent shall be allocated based on the
4
relative distance of such OCS political subdivision
5
from any leased tract used to calculate that OCS Pro-
6
duction State’s allocation using ratios that are in-
7
versely proportional to the distance between the point
8
in the coastal political subdivision closest to the geo-
9
graphic center of each leased tract or portion, as de-
10
termined by the Secretary. For purposes of the cal-
11
culations under this subparagraph, a leased tract or
12
portion of a leased tract shall be excluded if the leased
13
tract or portion is located in a geographic area where
14
a moratorium on new leasing was in effect on Janu-
15
ary 1, 2001, unless the lease was issued prior to the
