Congress i ttend4i_that the arti-recession funds be used to maintain the level of public
services, and there ate strong indicatiotts that the principal purpose was to help governments meet
payrplts to avoid recession. -related layoffs. Funds may not be spent to purchase heavy equipment,
"and .the,use oranti-recession funds for construction is discouraged. Funds may be spent for supplies
• ', or rrraterials,oniyif necessary to maintain basic public services.
J
49he anti-rccession grant formula targets aid on governments with high unemployment An
- £,timated 9 'percent of the money will go to governments in areas where the unemployment rate is
above'six-.Wren. .
Vic,anti-recession fund allocations are based on a two part formula for each recipient.
e the recipient's general revenue sharing sixth entitlement period allocation (as a measure of
its s zi -and responsi!?ilaies);
e ,,an unemployment facto; (as a measure of the economy's impact on government)
One -third -of the money is reserved for .he state governments and two-thirds is given to local
y governments.' Unlike the general rev, nue sharing program, however, funds are not allocated to state
areas before being divided into state and local pots. Instead, all of the states compete among
themselves for a share of the one-third pot, and all local governments cumpete among themselves for
a,s8are of the two -thirds -pot. ,;
Each state goverpment share is determined by multiplying the state government's revenue.
Sharing, payment byjti "excess" unemployment rate (the statewide unemployment rate minus 4 5
' percent), The resulting products for each state are then ranked and each sta.c government gets its
proportionAte, share of the one-third pot.
�< govcrnmaI allocations Rre ectermmed the same way. The product of the revenue
t,Local
sharing allocation and the excess unemployment rate for each locality is compared to the total
products for every local government, and each is given a proportionate share of the available funds
-
AlWations,must be recomputed with new unemployment data each calendar quarter and
payments tfierefor4 rosy, vary widely from quarter to quarter.
The Minimum anti -recession aid payment is $100 a calendar quarter Governments entitled to
less money wil! get noth�g. This is a relatively high minimum and will disqualify a number of
smallq revenue sharing recipients,
_. Payments must be made within five days of the beginning of a calendar quarter (revenue
,
°sharing payments are made within five days of the close of a quarter),
The law specifically includes a nondiscrimination clause (t330) and a requirement that Davis-
'o,l 'Pacon,Aet wage rates be paid in construction Q311). In addition receipients are required to report

The new law autho_:izes 5125 million for each calendar quarter in which tht national
< unemployment -rate is above six percent, An additional $62,5 million is authorized for each one half
perctntapt point'that the nali anal unemployment rate exceeds six percent. Thus, at 7 5 percent
untrnployment, a total of $312.5 would be authorized for each quarter No funds are authorized for
w any'quarter.in which the national unemployment rate is beloly_ six percent
The new anti -recession program is authorized for five quarters, from July 1, 1476 to
`-5epiembei,30, 1971, The law also provides that payments ovor these five quarters may not exceed
Whether the program will be continued past the'Ntpiration date probably will depend
on the state of the national. economy.
' The Treasury Department is responsible for the program, and the Office of Revenue Sharing
aY,. Will'administer it. Although the taw sets a somewhat tight timetable for implementing the program,
there probably will be some unavoidable delays in tooling up for the program
