Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 7505 - Approval and Fund Allocation

After it reviews the application and approves the project as meeting the requirements of Section 7503, the department shall establish a statewide "needs" list of eligible projects. The list will be made available to the Secretary along with the department's recommendation for funding not later than May 1 of the year for which funds are to be allocated. The department's recommendation for project allocation may include any eligible project in the statewide "needs" list.

The Secretary will consider the department's recommendation and the statewide "needs" list and may approve any eligible project on the "needs" list for fund allocation. The Secretary will allocate the funds no later than June 30 of the fiscal year for which the funds are appropriated.

Funds are allocated on a yearly basis from funds appropriated for that purpose by the Legislature. Applicants whose projects received funds and applicants whose projects did not receive funds in any fiscal year, must submit new applications in the following fiscal year to be eligible for funding in that fiscal year. All proposed projects will be considered for funding without regard to whether a proposed project ad previously received funds under this program.

The department, with the Secretary's concurrence, may establish terms and conditions which must be met by the applicant prior to receipt of funds. An agreement shall be entered into between the successful applicant and the department covering these terms and conditions.

The Secretary will not allocate funds for any project for which final environmental clearance has not been obtained. The final environmental document must be available for review by the Secretary before any funds are allocated.
