    Funds appropriated pursuant to section 291j-8 of this title shall be 
available for grants by the Secretary for not to exceed 50 per centum of 
the cost of construction or modernization of emergency rooms of public 
or nonprofit general hospitals, including provision or replacement of 
medical transportation facilities. Such grants shall be made by the 
Secretary only after consultation with the State agency designated in

assist in providing modern, efficient, and effective emergency room 
service needed to care for victims of highway, industrial, agricultural, 
or other accidents and to handle other medical emergencies, and to 
assist in providing such service in geographical areas which have 
special need therefor.
