01/19/04
Section 7544. State grants
The Administrator is authorized to make grants to appropriate
State agencies in an amount up to two-thirds of the cost of
developing and maintaining effective vehicle emission devices and
systems inspection and emission testing and control programs,
except that -
(1) no such grant shall be made for any part of any State
vehicle inspection program which does not directly relate to the
cost of the air pollution control aspects of such a program;
(2) no such grant shall be made unless the Secretary of
Transportation has certified to the Administrator that such
program is consistent with any highway safety program developed
pursuant to section 402 of title 23; and
(3) no such grant shall be made unless the program includes
provisions designed to insure that emission control devices and
systems on vehicles in actual use have not been discontinued or
rendered inoperative.
Grants may be made under this section by way of reimbursement in
any case in which amounts have been expended by the State before
the date on which any such grant was made.
