    In any case in which a grant (including a supplementary grant

under this subchapter (or made under this chapter, as in effect on the 
day before the effective date of the Economic Development Administration

been made but before completion of the project, the cost of the project 
based on the designs and specifications that was the basis of the grant 
has decreased because of decreases in costs--
        (1) the Secretary may approve, subject to the availability of 
    appropriations, the use of the excess funds or a portion of the 
    funds to improve the project; and
