Tribal supplemental program (23 U.S.C. 202(b)(3)(C)).

After deducting the set asides identified in paragraph (a) of this section, on October 1 of each fiscal year, the Secretaries will distribute the remainder authorized to be appropriated for the TTP among Indian Tribes as follows:

For fiscal year 2016 and thereafter:
