1、534 23 CFR Ch. II (4111 Edition) 1250.5 (c) When Federal funds apportioned under 23 U.S.C. 402 are expended by the State or a State agency for the benefit of a political subdivision, such funds may be considered as part of the local share, provided that the political sub-division benefitted has had

2、an active voice in the initiation, development, and implementation of the programs for which such funds are expended. In no case may the State arbitrarily as-cribe State agency expenditures as benefitting local government. Where political subdivisions have had an ac-tive voice in the initiation, dev

3、elop-ment, and implementation of a par-ticular program, and a political sub-division which has not had such active voice agrees in advance of implementa-tion to accept the benefits of the pro-gram, the Federal share of the cost of such benefits may be credited toward meeting the 40 percent local par

4、ticipa-tion requirement. Where no political subdivisions have had an active voice in the initiation, development, and im-plementation of a particular program, but a political subdivision requests the benefits of the program as part of the local governments highway safety pro-gram, the Federal share

5、of the cost of such benefits may be credited toward meeting the 40 percent local participa-tion requirement. Evidence of consent and acceptance of the work, goods or services on behalf of the local govern-ment must be established and main-tained on file by the State, until all funds authorized for a

6、 specific year are expended and audits completed. (d) State agency expenditures which are generally not classified as local are within such standard areas as vehicle inspection, vehicle registration and driver licensing. However, where these Standards provide funding for services such as: driver imp

7、rovement tasks ad-ministered by traffic courts, or where they furnish computer support for local government requests for traffic record searches, these expenditures are classi-fiable as benefitting local programs. 1250.5 Waivers. While the 40 percent requirement may be waived in whole or in part by

8、the Secretary or his delegate, it is ex-pected that each State program will generate political subdivision partici-pation to the extent required by the Act so that requests for waivers will be minimized. Where a waiver is re-quested, however, it will be docu-mented at least by a conclusive show-ing

9、of the absence of legal authority over highway safety activities at the political subdivision levels of the State and will recommend the appropriate percentage participation to be applied in lieu of the 40 percent.
