§3222d — Title 7 Agriculture | U.S. Code

Summary

States must provide equal non-Federal matching money for the formula funds sent to certain colleges. Eligible institution: a college that can get money under the Second Morrill Act (includes Tuskegee University). Formula funds: the allotments given to those colleges under sections 3221 and 3222. By September 30, 1999, each eligible institution must send the Secretary a report for fiscal year 1999 listing the State sources of non-Federal money used for agriculture research, extension services, and education, and how much came from each source. The Secretary can waive matching above the 50 percent level if a State is unlikely to meet the match. Matching money may be used for those agriculture activities under rules the Secretary sets. Any federal funds a State fails to match must be reallocated to institutions in States that did meet the match, and redistributed funds must follow the same matching rules and the rules in sections 3221 and 3222.
