shall, for purposes of this
subparagraph, modify the number of such
cases reported for the eligible area in

reporting in and among systems that use
code-based reporting.

adjustment rate under subclause (I) for
an eligible area shall be a reduction of
5 percent in the number of living non-
AIDS cases of HIV reported for the area.

Multiple <<NOTE: Applicability.>> political
jurisdictions.--With respect to living non-AIDS

``(I) Names-based reporting under
clause (i) applies in a jurisdictional
portion of the area, or an exemption
under clause (ii) applies in such
portion (subject to applicable
provisions of this subparagraph),
according to whether names-based
reporting or code-based reporting is
used in such portion.

reporting apply in the area, the number
of code-based cases shall be reduced
under clause (vi).

notwithstanding such noncompliance,
accept reports of living cases of AIDS
that are in accordance with such clause.
``(II) Applicability of exemption
requirements.--The provisions of clauses
(ii) through (viii) may not be construed

eligible areas for which increases under
subparagraph (A) apply. A reduction under the
preceding sentence may not be made in an amount
that would result in the eligible area involved
becoming eligible for such an increase.

construed as having any applicability after fiscal year
2009.''.
