year which the State certifies to the Secretary will not be
required for carrying out the State plan developed as provided in
section 622 of this title shall be available for reallotment from
time to time, on such dates as the Secretary may fix, to other
States which the Secretary determines (1) have need in carrying out
their State plans so developed for sums in excess of those
previously allotted to them under section 621 of this title and (2)
