80-A - State Prefinancing of Federal Share of Non-State Highway Projects.

§ 80-a. State prefinancing of federal share of non-state highway
projects. In connection with the undertaking by a municipality of a
non-state highway project for which the commissioner is authorized to
use moneys of the federal government pursuant to the provisions of
section eighty of this chapter the commissioner is hereby authorized to
advance from any state highway appropriation made in the first instance
and subject to subsequent reimbursement in accordance with the
provisions of Title 23, U.S. Code, "Highways" to such municipality the
share of the federal government of such project.

The first instance advances herein authorized shall be available only
after the Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
of the United States of America, shall notify the commissioner of
transportation that each specific project for which such first instance
advances are contemplated have been approved and that the required share
of federal funds which have been apportioned to the State of New York
for expenditure have been entered on the official records of such
Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, as a
commitment of such funds.

The commissioner shall undertake such supervision and management of
the municipal project so advanced in order to fulfill any and all
agreements with the Federal Highway Administration in order to assure
federal reimbursement of the first instance advances herein authorized.

The commissioner shall provide for the management of the first
instance advances and federal reimbursements herein authorized in a
manner consistent with the management of any other federally aided state
highway construction project.
