§406 General Requirements for Federal Assistance

Summary

Grants under sections 402 or 405 pay for "funded projects." Funded project: a project paid, in whole or in part, by a grant under section 402 or 405. Each funded project must follow the rules the Secretary makes. If a grant makes a State share project costs, the State’s own highway safety spending for that fiscal year (not federal money, and not spending for planning or administration) counts toward the State’s non‑federal share for any other funded project that year, even if that money was used on a different project. A State must send an application when, how, and with the information the Secretary asks for. The Secretary will set one deadline so grants can be given early in each fiscal year after that deadline. The Secretary must give each State its portion of funds no later than 60 days after the later of the start of the fiscal year or the date Congress enacts an appropriations Act that provides the funds.
