(b) Such section is further amended by striking out "and" at the
end of paragraph (h), by striking out the period at the end of para-
graph (i) and inserting in lieu thereof a semicolon, and by inserting
after paragraph (i) the following new paragraphs:
"(j) the term 'title', when used with reference to a site for a
project, means a fee simple, or such other estate or interest
(including a leasehold on which the rental does not exceed 4 per
centum of the value of the land) as the Surgeon General finds
sufficient to assure for a period of not less than fifty years undis-
turbed use and possession for the purposes of construction and
operation of the project;
"(k) the term 'Federal share' with respect to any project means
the proportion of the cost of construction of such project to be
paid by the Federal Government under part C. In the case of
any project approved prior to the effective date of this subsec-
tion, the Federal share shall be 331/3 per centum of the cost of
construction of such project. In the case of any project approved
on or after the effective date of this subsection, the Federal share
shall be determined as follows:
"(1) if the State plan, as of the date of approval of the
project application, contains standards approved by the
Surgeon General pursuant to section 623 (e), the Federal
share with respect to such project shall be determined by the
State agency in accordance with such standards;
"(2) if the State plan does not contain such standards, the
Federal share shall be the amount (not less than 333 per
centum and not more than either 66%3 per centum or the
State's allotment percentage, whichever is the lower) estab-
lished by the State agency for all projects in the State:
Provided, That prior to the approval of the first project in
the State during any fiscal year, the State agency shall give
to the Surgeon General written notification of the Federal
share established under this paragraph for projects in such
State to be approved by the Surgeon General during such
fiscal year, and the Federal share for projects in such State
approved during such fiscal year shall not be changed after
such approval."
