Sec. 6001. Establishment of program


(a) In general

    The Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration may, in accordance with section 6002 of this title, make 
grants to States, political subdivisions of States, and nonprofit 
organizations for programs that require or encourage individuals under 
the age of 16 to wear approved bicycle helmets. In making those grants, 
the Administrator shall allow grantees to use wide discretion in 
designing programs that effectively promote increased bicycle helmet 
use.

(b) Federal share

    The amount provided by a grant under this section shall not exceed 
80 percent of the cost of the program for which the grant is made. In 
crediting the recipient State, political subdivision, or nonprofit 
organization for the non-Federal share of the cost of such a program 
(other than planning and administration), the aggregate of all 
expenditures made by such State, political subdivision, or nonprofit 
organization (exclusive of Federal funds) for the purposes described in 
section 6002 of this title (other than expenditures for planning and 
administration) shall be available for such crediting, without regard to 
whether such expenditures were actually made in connection with such 
program.
