              SUBCHAPTER II--UNIFORM RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
 
Sec. 4631. Federal share of costs


(a) Cost to displacing agency; eligibility

    The cost to a displacing agency of providing payments and assistance 
under this subchapter and subchapter III of this chapter shall be 
included as part of the cost of a program or project undertaken by a 
Federal agency or with Federal financial assistance. A displacing 
agency, other than a Federal agency, shall be eligible for Federal 
financial assistance with respect to such payments and assistance in the 
same manner and to the same extent as other program or project costs.

(b) Comparable payments under other laws

    No payment or assistance under this subchapter or subchapter III of 
this chapter shall be required to be made to any person or included as a 
program or project cost under this section, if such person receives a 
payment required by Federal, State, or local law which is determined by 
the head of the Federal agency to have substantially the same purpose 
and effect as such payment under this section.

(c) Agreements prior to January 2, 1971; advancements

    Any grant to, or contract or agreement with, a State agency executed 
before January 2, 1971, under which Federal financial assistance is 
available to pay all or part of the cost of any program or project which 
will result in the displacement of any person on or after January 2, 
1971, shall be amended to include the cost of providing payments and 
services under sections 4630 and 4655 of this title. If the head of a 
Federal agency determines that it is necessary for the expeditious 
completion of a program or project he may advance to the State agency 
the Federal share of the cost of any payments or assistance by such 
State agency pursuant to sections 4626, 4630, 4635, and 4655 of this 
title.
