1350.6—Awards.
(a)
NHTSA will review each State's application for compliance with the requirements of this part and will notify qualifying States in writing of grant awards. In each Federal fiscal year, grants will be made to eligible States upon submission and approval of the information required by this part.
(c)
Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, the amount of a grant made to a State for a fiscal year under this program may not be less than $100,000 and may not exceed 25 percent of the amount apportioned to the State for fiscal year 2003 under section 402 of title 23, United States Code.
(d)
The release of grant funds under this part is subject to the availability of funds for each fiscal year. If there are expected to be insufficient funds to award full grant amounts to all eligible States in any fiscal year, NHTSA may release less than the full grant amount upon initial approval of a State's application and release the remainder, up to the State's proportionate share of available funds, before the end of that fiscal year. If insufficient funds are available to distribute the minimum amount ($100,000) to all qualifying States, all States would receive an equal reduced share. Project approval and the contractual obligation of the Federal Government to provide grant funds, is limited to the amount of funds released.
