                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
      CHAPTER 3--FORESTS; FOREST SERVICE; REFORESTATION; MANAGEMENT
 
                    SUBCHAPTER III--RESEARCH PROGRAMS
 
Sec. 582a-3. Matching funds; reapportionment to other qualifying 
        institutions; reductions
        
    The amount paid by the Federal Government to any State-certified 
institutions eligible for assistance under this subchapter shall not 
exceed during any fiscal year the amount available to and budgeted for 
expenditure by such college or university during the same fiscal year 
for forestry research from non-Federal sources, except that for the 
fiscal years ending June 30, 1971, and June 30, 1972, the matching funds 
requirement hereof shall not be applicable to the Virgin Islands and 
Guam, and sums authorized for such years for the Virgin Islands and Guam 
may be used to pay the total cost of programs for forestry research. The 
Secretary is authorized to make such expenditures on the certificate of 
the appropriate official of the college or university having charge of 
the forestry research for which the expenditures as herein provided are 
to be made. If any or all of the colleges or universities certified for 
receipt of funds under this subchapter fails to make available and 
budget for expenditure for forestry research in any fiscal year sums at 
least as much as the amount for which it would be eligible for such year 
under this subchapter, the difference between the Federal funds 
available and the funds made available and budgeted for expenditure by 
the college or university shall be reapportioned by the Secretary to 
other eligible colleges or universities of the same State if there be 
any which qualify therefor and, it there be none, the Secretary shall 
reapportion such differences to the qualifying colleges and universities 
of other States participating in the forestry research program. If in 
any year the amount made available by a State from its own funds 
(including any revenue-sharing funds) to a State-certified institution 
eligible for assistance under this subchapter is reduced because of an 
increase in the allotment made available under this subchapter, the 
allotment of such State-certified institution from the next succeeding 
appropriation shall be reduced in an equivalent amount. The Secretary 
shall reapportion the amount of such reduction to other eligible 
colleges and universities of the same State if there be any that qualify 
therefor and, if there be none, the Secretary shall reapportion such 
amount to the qualifying colleges and universities of other States 
participating in the forestry research program.

succeeding appropriation be reduced in an equivalent amount and that the 
Secretary reapportion the amount of such reduction to other eligible 
colleges and universities of the same State if there be any that qualify 
therefor and, if there be none, the Secretary reapportion such amount to 
the qualifying colleges and universities of other States participating 
in the forestry research program.
