40 U.S.C. § 14521 — Required level of expenditure
submitted 24 years ago by Pub. L. 107-217 to r/title-40-PUBLIC-BUILDINGS-PROPERTY-AND-WORKS · 193 words · no verdicts yet
A state must keep its Appalachian-region spending at a past average level to qualify for benefits. That baseline is the average from the state's last two years before March 1965, excluding interstate highway funds. The Commission can recommend a lower requirement if population drops or past spending was disproportionate to current need.
A state, or a political subdivision of a state, is not eligible to receive benefits under this subtitle unless the total spending of state money — not counting spending on the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways, and not counting local and federal money — for the part of the state within the Appalachian region is kept at or above the average level of that spending for the state's last two full fiscal years before March 9, 1965. In calculating that average, the state's past spending on the Interstate and Defense Highway System, and its local and federal spending, are not included. The Commission must recommend to the President a lower requirement when it finds either: that a substantial population decrease in the part of the state within the region would not justify state spending equal to that two-year average, or that the state's average spending on one particular program has been out of proportion to that part of the state's current need.
A State or political subdivision of a State is not eligible to receive benefits under this subtitle unless the aggregate expenditure of state amounts, except expenditures for participation in the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways and local and federal amounts, for the benefit of the area within the State located in the Appalachian region is maintained at a level which does not fall below the average level of those expenditures for the State’s last two full fiscal years prior to March 9, 1965. In computing the level, a State’s past expenditure for participation in the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways and expenditures of local and federal amounts shall not be included. The Commission shall recommend to the President a lesser requirement when it finds that a substantial population decrease in that part of a State which lies within the region would not justify a state expenditure equal to the average level of the last two years or when it finds that a State’s average level of expenditure in an individual program has been disproportionate to the present need for that part of the State.
