(a) If you meet the eligibility requirements in Sec. 872.26(b), we will distribute these minimum program make up funds to you as follows:

If the sum of these funds is less than $3 million, we calculate the amount of minimum program make up funds to add to your distribution under this section to increase it to that level.
