Requires funds approved by the Commission for a project in an Appalachian state pursuant to a congressional directive to be derived from the amount allocated to that state.&lt;br/&gt;Extends the termination date of the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965 until October 1, 2012.&lt;br/&gt;Adds to the Appalachian region the counties of: (1) Metcalfe, Nicholas, and Robertson in Kentucky; (2) Ashtabula, Mahoning, and Trumbull in Ohio; (3) Lawrence and Lewis in Tennessee; and (4) Henry and Patrick in Virginia.&lt;br/&gt;</summary>
