§ 140.309 - Request and approval of increase in Federal share.

(a) The State may submit a request in writing to the FHWA Division Administrator for an increase in the Federal share of a qualifying project up to and including 100 percent at the time the State submits a request for project approval or obligation. The request shall specify the Federal pro rata share, the amount of regular Federal funds and the amount of the increased Federal share desired.

(b) To maximize the obligation of Federal funds, the amount obligated for the increased Federal share may be based on the estimated costs to be incurred by the State before September 30, 1993, instead of the total estimated project costs.

(c) When submitting the project agreement, Form PR-2, pursuant to § 630.304 of this title, the State shall include in the agreement the following provision:

(d) The State may claim reimbursement for the increased Federal share as a part of its normal billing procedures. Participating costs incurred by the State on qualifying projects shall be charged on a pro rata basis to the regular Federal share, increased Federal share, and non-Federal share, if any.
