"Sec. 308. (a) (1) The Secretary shall make a payment for each fiscal year to 

 each coastal state in an amount which bears to the amount appropriated for 

 that fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (6) of this subsection the same ratio as 

 the number representing the average of the following proportions (computed 

 with regard to such state) bears to 100 — 



"(A) the proportion which the outer Continental Shelf acreage which 

 is adjacent to such state and which is leased by the Federal Government in 

 that year bears to the total outer Continental Shelf acreage which is leased 

 by the Federal Government in that year ; 



"(B) the proportion which the number of exploration and development 

 wells adjacent to that state which are drilled in that year on outer Con- 

 tinental Shelf acreage leased by the Federal Government bears to the total 

 number of exploration and development wells drilled in that year on outer 

 Continental Shelf acreage leased by the Federal Government ; 



"(C) the proportion which the volume of oil and natural gas produced in 

 that year from outer Continental Shelf acreage which is adjacent to such 

 state and which is leased by the Federal Government bears to the total 

 volume of oil and natural gas produced in that year from outer Continental 

 Shelf lands under Federal lease in that year ; 



"(D) the proportion which the volume of oil and natural gas produced 

 from outer Continental Shelf acreage leased by the Federal Government 

 and first landed in such state in that year bears to the total volume of oil 

 and natural gas produced from all outer Continental Shelf acreage leased 

 by the Federal Government and first landed in the United States in that 

 year ; 



"(E) the proportion which the number of individuals residing in such 

 state in that year who are employed directly in outer Continental Shelf 

 energy activities by outer Continental Shelf lessees and their contractors 

 and subcontractors bears to the total number of individuals residing in all 

 coastal states who are employed directly in outer Continental Shelf energy 

 activities in that year by outer Continental Shelf lessees, and their con- 

 tractors and subcontractors ; and 



"(F) the proportion which the onshore capital investment which is made 

 during that year in such state and which is required to directly support outer 

 Continental Shelf energy activities bears to the total of all such onshore 

 capital investment made in all coastal states during that year. 

 "(2) For purposes of calculating the proportions set forth in paragraph (1) 

 of this subsection, 'the outer Continental Shelf lands which are adjacent to 

 such state' shall be the iK)rtion of the outer Continental Shelf lying on that 

 state's side of extended seaward boundaries determined as follows: (A) In the 

 absence of seaward lateral boundaries, or any portion thereof, clearly defined 

 or fixed by interstate compacts, agreements, or judicial decree (if entered into, 

 agreed to, or issued before the effective date of this paragraph), the boundaries 

 shall be that portion of the outer Continental Shelf which would lie on that 

 state's side of lateral marine boundaries as determined by the application of the 

 principles of the Convention on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone. 

 (B) If seaward lateral boundaries have been clearly defined or fixed by inter- 

 state compacts, agreements, or judicial decree (if entered into, agreed to, or 

 issued before the effective date of this paragraph), such boundaries shall be ex- 

 tended on the basis of the principles of delimitation used to establish them. 



"(3) The Secretary shall have the responsibility for the compilation, evalua- 

 tion, and calculation of all relevant data required to determine the amount of 

 the payments authorized by this subsection and shall, by regulations promul- 

 gated in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, set forth 

 the method by which collection and evaluation of such data shall be made. In 

 compiling and evaluating such data, the Secretary may require the assistance of 

 any relevant Federal or State agency. In calculating the proportions set forth 

 in paragraph (1) of this sub.section, payments made for any fiscal year shall be 

 based on data from the immediately preceding fiscal year, and data from the
