This section defines the matching-funds requirement for agricultural research, extension, and education at eligible institutions. States must provide matching nonfederal money, subject to a limited waiver, and unmatched federal money is redistributed.
(a) Definitions. (1) “Eligible institution” means a college* eligible under the Second Morrill Act, including Tuskegee University*. (2) “Formula funds” means formula-allocation money distributed under sections 3221 and 3222 of this title. This section does not define either quoted term beyond these definitions.
(b) By September 30, 1999, each eligible institution must report to the Secretary*, for fiscal year 1999, (1) the sources of nonfederal State* money available for its agricultural research*, extension*, and education* to meet this section’s requirements and (2) the amount generally available from each source.
(c) Despite other provisions of this subchapter, the State must provide equal matching money from nonfederal sources.
(d) Despite subsection (f), the Secretary may waive the matching requirement above 50 percent for a State’s eligible institution for a fiscal year if the Secretary decides the State is unlikely to meet the requirement.
(e) Under terms set by the Secretary, matching money required by subsection (c) may be used for agricultural research, extension, and education.
(f)(1) Federal money that a State does not match as subsection (c) requires must be redistributed by the Secretary to eligible institutions whose States met the requirement that fiscal year.
(2) The redistributed money remains subject to the matching requirement in subsection (c) and must be distributed consistently with sections 3221 and 3222, as the Secretary decides.
In this section:
The term “eligible institution” means a college* eligible to receive funds under the Act of August 30, 1890 (7 U.S.C. 321 et seq.) (commonly known as the “Second Morrill Act”), including Tuskegee University*.
The term “formula funds” means the formula allocation funds distributed to eligible institutions under sections 3221 and 3222 of this title.
Not later than September 30, 1999, each eligible institution shall submit to the Secretary* a report describing for fiscal year 1999—
the sources of non-Federal funds made available by the State* to the eligible institution for agricultural research*, extension*, and education* to meet the requirements of this section; and
the amount of such funds generally available from each source.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, the State shall provide equal matching funds from non-Federal sources.
Notwithstanding subsection (f), the Secretary may waive the matching funds requirement under subsection (c) above the 50 percent level for any fiscal year for an eligible institution of a State if the Secretary determines that the State will be unlikely to satisfy the matching requirement.
Under terms and conditions established by the Secretary, matching funds provided as required by subsection (c) may be used by an eligible institution for agricultural research, extension, and education activities.
Federal funds that are not matched by a State in accordance with subsection (c) for a fiscal year shall be redistributed by the Secretary to eligible institutions whose States have satisfied the matching funds requirement for that fiscal year.
Any redistribution of funds under this subsection shall be subject to the applicable matching requirement specified in subsection (c) and shall be made in a manner consistent with sections 3221 and 3222 of this title, as determined by the Secretary.
