years 1997, 1998, and 1999, the Secretary may make a grant annually to
any coastal state without an approved program if the coastal state
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the grant will be
used to develop a management program consistent with the requirements
set forth in section 1455 of this title. The amount of any such grant
shall not exceed $200,000 in any fiscal year, and shall require State
matching funds according to a 4-to-1 ratio of Federal-to-State
contributions. After an initial grant is made to a coastal state
pursuant to this subsection, no subsequent grant shall be made to that

pursuant to this subsection.''

section''.

incorporated provisions of former subsec. (d), redesignated former
