(a) The funds appropriated pursuant to section 7 of the Federal Act for any fiscal year for expenditures for grants to States to assist them in meeting the cost of establishing and maintaining adequate measures for the prevention and control of water pollution shall be allotted among the several States on the basis of $12,000 for each State, in recognition of the fact that a water pollution control problem exists in every State caused by the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated sewage or other wastes into the waters of such State, and the balance on the basis of the following factors:

(1) 23 in the ratio that the product of the population of each State and the reciprocal of its per capita income bears to the sum of the corresponding products for all States.

(3) % on the basis of the ratio of the number of industrial establishments discharging industrial wastes in the States comprising the interstate agency to the number of such establishments in all the interstate agency areas. The number of such establishments shall be determined on the basis of the latest available data provided by the Department of Com
