(a) PAYMENTS TO LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES- Any local educational agency
that received a payment for fiscal year 1987, 1988, 1989, or 1990 under
section 3 of the Act of September 30, 1950 (Impact Aid) (20 U.S.C. 238),
the amount of which was incorrect because of a failure by the Secretary of
Education to apply any of the limitations on per pupil payments or local
contribution rates specified in Public Law 99-500, Public Law 99-591, and
Public Law 100-202, and which such payment resulted in or would result in
an overpayment, shall be entitled to the amount of such payment.
(b) FEDERAL CONTRIBUTIONS- No portion of any payment received by a local
educational agency for fiscal year 1988, 1989, or 1990 under section 2 of
the Act of September 30, 1950 (Impact Aid) (20 U.S.C. 237) may be recovered
on the ground that such payment was determined incorrectly by employing a
formula using such agency's base revenue limit per average daily attendance.
Attest:
Secretary.
