§1360 Appropriations and Payments

Summary

Gives specific federal money for technical services programs: $10,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1966; $20,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1967; $30,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1968; $6,600,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1969; $10,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1970; and $10,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971. The Secretary can make annual payments from these funds to designated agencies, participating institutions, or people for approved technical services programs. The Secretary will create and publish rules in the Federal Register that set maximum payments to States, taking into account population (from the last census), economic and development activity and efficiency, and technical resources. The Secretary may hold back up to 20% each year to pay for programs of special merit or needed extra programs, under rules published in the Federal Register. Up to 5% of each year’s money can pay the Secretary’s direct administration costs. Payments cannot be more than the non-Federal money spent on a program, except the Secretary may pay up to $25,000 a year for each of the first three fiscal years to each designated agency (except agencies under section 1357) to help make the five-year plan and initial annual programs. No funds can be paid for a program that duplicates services already readily available in the State from Federal or State agencies, including public colleges and universities.
