"Adjustments for Decreases in Federal Activities "(e) Whenever the Commissioner determines that— "(1) for any fiscal year, the number of children determined with respect to any local educational agency under subsections (a) and (b) is less than 90 per centum of the number so determined with respect to such agency during the preceding fiscal year; "(2) there has been a decrease or cessation of Federal activities within the State in which such agency is located; and "(3) such decrease or cessation has resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of children determined under subsections (a) and (b) with respect to such agency for such fiscal year; the amount to which such agency is entitled for such fiscal year and for any of the three succeeding fiscal years shall not be less than 90 per centum of the amount to which such agency was so entitled for the preceding fiscal year. That part of any entitlement of any local educational agency which is in excess of the amount which such entitlement would be without the operation of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be attributable to determinations of children with respect to such agency under subsection (b)(2)(A).

"Determinations on the Basis of Estimates " (f) Determinations with respect to a number of children by the Commissioner under this section for any fiscal year shall be made, whenever actual satisfactory data are not available, on the basis of estimates. No such determination shall operate, because of an underestimate, to deprive any local educational agency of its entitlement to any payment (or the amount thereof) under this section to which such agency would be entitled had such determination been made on the basis of accurate data.". (2) Section 5 of such Act is amended to read as follows:

20 USC 240.

"Applications "SEC. 5. (a)(1) Any local educational agency desiring to receive the payments to which it is entitled for any fiscal year under sections 2, 3, or 4 shall submit an application therefor through the State educational agency of the State in which such agency is located to the Commissioner. Such applications shall be submitted at such time, in such form, and containing such information as the Commissioner may reasonably require to enable him to carry out his functions under this title and shall give adequate assurance that the applicant will submit such reports as the Commissioner may reasonably require to determine whether such agency is entitled to a payment under any of such sections and the amount of such payment. "(2)(A) Applications submitted under paragraph (1^ for payments on the basis of children determined under section 3(a) or 3(b) who reside, or reside with a parent employed, on Indian lands shall set forth adequate assurance that Indian children will participate on an equitable basis in the school program of the local educational agency.
