Last updated Sep 22, 2026|Official source

Summary

When Congress allows more federal money or raises a project's total cost, the Secretary must update the project's partnership agreement to show the change in federal participation. That change does not change how the project's costs are split between federal and non-federal partners. Any federal or non-federal cost estimates for projects before, on, or after November 8, 2007 are for information only and do not change the legal cost-sharing rules.
