drawing geographic boundaries to facilitate regional agreements for use of Opioid <br /> Funds.

Opioid Funds will be allocated, distributed and managed within <br /> each Allocation Region, as determined by its Regional Agreement as set forth <br /> below. If an Allocation Region does not have a Regional Agreement enumerated <br /> in this MOU, and does not subsequently adopt a Regional Agreement per Section <br /> C.5, the default mechanism for allocation, distribution and management of Opioid <br /> Funds described in Section C.4.a will apply.

As set forth above in <br /> Section B.3,to determine the allocation to a county, this formula utilizes: <br /> (1)the amount of opioids shipped to the county; (2)the number of opioid <br /> deaths that occurred in that county; and(3) the number of people who <br /> suffer opioid use disorder in that county. To determine the allocation <br /> within a county,the formula utilizes historical federal data showing how <br /> the specific Counties and the Cities and Towns within the Counties have <br /> 4 <br />
