(a) Cost to displacing agency; eligibility The cost to a displacing agency of providing payments and assistance under this subchapter and subchapter III of this chapter must be included as part of the cost of a program or project undertaken by a Federal agency or with Federal financial assistance. A displacing agency, other than a Federal agency, must be eligible for Federal financial assistance about such payments and assistance in the same manner and to the same extent as other program or project costs. (b) Comparable payments under other laws No payment or assistance under this subchapter or subchapter III of this chapter must be required to be made to any person or included as a program or project cost under this section, if such person receives a payment required by Federal, State, or local law which is determined by the head of the Federal agency to have substantially the same purpose and effect as such payment under this section. (c) Agreements before January 2, 1971 ; advancements Any grant to, or contract or agreement with, a State agency executed before January 2, 1971 , under which Federal financial assistance is available to pay all or part of the cost of any program or project which will result in the displacement of any person on or after January 2, 1971 , must be amended to include the cost of providing payments and services under sections 4630 and 4655 of this title. If the head of a Federal agency determines that it is necessary for the expeditious completion of a program or project he may advance to the State agency the Federal share of the cost of any payments or assistance by such State agency under sections 4626, 4630, 4635, and 4655 of this title.
