§2009bb–3 Supplements to Federal Grant Programs

Summary

Lets the Authority, with the Federal cochairperson’s approval, raise the federal share of a regional project’s cost to no more than 90 percent (except as provided in section 2009bb–5(b)) when a State or local area cannot meet the required match or the federal program lacks funds. The extra federal portion must come from amounts available under this subchapter. No federal payment happens until the federal official who runs the grant program certifies the project meets the program’s rules (except as noted above) and would be approvable if funds were available. The Authority’s approvals under section 2009bb–8 are controlling and federal agencies must accept them. Any reports or paperwork normally required by the federal agency must be accepted by the Federal cochairperson.
