23 C.F.R. § 1200.13 Approval.
Title 23 - Highways
(a) Upon receipt of application documents complying with the provisions of §1200.10 and §1200.11 of this part, the Approving Official will issue a letter of approval to the Governor and the Governor's Representative for Highway Safety. (b) The approval letter identified in paragraph (a) of this section will contain the following statement:
We have reviewed (STATE)'s ______ fiscal year 19__ Performance Plan, Highway Safety Plan, Certification Statement, and Cost Summary (HS Form 217), as received on (DATE) ____. Based on these submissions, we find your State's highway safety program to be in compliance with the requirements of the Section 402 program. This determination does not constitute an obligation of Federal funds for the fiscal year identified above or an authorization to incur costs against those funds. The obligation of Section 402 program funds will be effected in writing by the NHTSA Administrator at the commencement of the fiscal year identified above. However, Federal funds reprogrammed from the prior-year Highway Safety Program (carry-forward funds) will be available for immediate use by the State on October 1. Reimbursement will be contingent upon the submission of an updated HS Form 217 (or its electronic equivalent), consistent with the requirements of 23 CFR 1200.14(d), within 30 days after either the beginning of the fiscal year identified above or the date of this letter, whichever is later. (c) If approval is withheld, for reasons of non-compliance with §1200.10 or §1200.11 of this part or other applicable law, the Approving Official shall identify in writing the specific area(s) of non-compliance which formed the basis for withholding approval.
