Secretaries may carry out what they must do under the Plan by giving grants or signing contracts with people, federal or state agencies, or regional commissions. Grants and contracts must include whatever terms the Secretary sets to protect U.S. interests and they cannot be used for anything that breaks state or local law. A grant cannot be for more than one-half of the project’s estimated cost. Anyone who gets a grant or contract must let the relevant Secretary and the U.S. Comptroller General inspect any books or records about the money for audit or review.
