  We continue our studies of the high energy nonrelativistic asymptotics for
the photoionization cross section of the systems bound by a central field
$V(r)$. We consider the bound states with the orbital momentum $\ell=1$. We
show, that as well as for the $s$ states the asymptotics can be obtained
without solving of the wave equations for the bound and outgoing electrons. The
asymptotics of the cross sections is expressed in terms of the asymptotics of
the Fourier transform $V(p)$ of the field and its derivative $V'(p)$ by
employing the Lippmann--Schwinger equation. The shape of the energy dependence
of the cross sections is determined by the analytical properties of the
potential $V(r)$. The cross sections exhibit power drop with the increase of
the photon energy for the potentials $V(r)$ which have singularities on the
real axis. They experience exponential drop if $V(r)$ has poles in the complex
plane. We trace the energy dependence of the ratios of the photoionization
cross sections for $s$ and $p$ electrons from the states with the same
principle quantum number. We apply the results to the physics of fullerenes.
