“Of the amounts made available under subsection (a), not more than 3 percent may be used for administrative costs necessary to carry out this section.”
The section caps administrative costs at 3 percent of the amounts appropriated.
What the document actually says
“Of the amounts made available under subsection (a), not more than 3 percent may be used for administrative costs necessary to carry out this section.”
That sentence, in plain words
No more than 3 percent may go to running costs. That is 3 percent of the money set aside.
What this is about
The rest must go to the work itself. Running costs cover staff and paperwork. The cap is fixed in the law.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
