(1) A "challenge cost-share agreement" is an agreement between the Secretary and a cooperator to share costs or services while carrying out the Secretary's authorized duties for a System unit or program, an affiliated area, or a designated national scenic or historic trail. (2) A "cooperator" can be a State or local government, a public or private agency, an organization, an institution, a corporation, an individual, or any other kind of entity. (b) Authority To Enter Into Challenge Cost-Share Agreements. The Secretary may negotiate and sign these agreements with cooperators. (c) Source of Federal Share. When carrying out one of these agreements, the Secretary can pay the federal government's share of the costs using any funds available to the Service.
