§13542 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary must make non-Federal partners pay part of project costs. For research and development projects, non-Federal partners must provide at least 20% of the cost, but the Secretary can lower or remove that rule for basic or fundamental research. For demonstration or commercial projects, non-Federal partners must cover at least 50% of directly related costs, though the Secretary can reduce that share if technological risks make it necessary to meet the Act’s goals. The non-Federal share can be cash, staff time, services, equipment, or other resources. The Tennessee Valley Authority may use money from its power program to meet these cost-sharing requirements, except for funds that come from annual appropriations.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Act, for research and development programs carried out under this Act, the Secretary shall require a commitment from non-Federal sources of at least 20 percent of the cost of the project.

The Secretary may reduce the non-Federal requirement under this subsection if the Secretary determines that the reduction is necessary and appropriate considering the technological risks involved in the project and is necessary to meet the objectives of this Act.

(c)In calculating the amount of the non-Federal commitment under paragraph (1) or (2), the Secretary shall include cash, personnel, services, equipment, and other resources.

(d)Funds derived by the Tennessee Valley Authority from its power program may be used for all or part of any cost sharing requirements under this section, except to the extent that such funds are provided by annual appropriation Acts.
