SUBCHAPTER IV--CONSTRUCTION OF SMALL PROJECTS
Sec. 422j. Appropriations; notice to Congress of receipt of
proposal; funds to initiate proposal; availability of
appropriations; reimbursement; limitations on expenditures in
any single State; waiver
There are authorized to be appropriated, such sums as may be
necessary, but not to exceed $600,000,000, to carry out the provisions
of this subchapter and, effective October 1, 1986, not to exceed an
additional $600,000,000: Provided, That the Secretary shall advise the
Congress promptly on the receipt of each proposal referred to in section
422c of this title, and no contract shall become effective until
appropriated funds are available to initiate the specific proposal
covered by each contract. All such appropriations shall remain available
until expended and shall, insofar as they are used to finance loans made
under this subchapter, be reimbursable in the manner hereinabove
provided. Not more than 20 percent of the total amount of additional
funds authorized to be appropriated effective October 1, 1986, for loans
and grants pursuant to this subchapter shall be for projects in any
single State: Provided, That beginning five years after October 27,
1986, the Secretary is authorized to waive the 20 percent limitation for
loans and grants which meet the purposes set forth in section 422a of
this title: Provided further, That the decision of the Secretary to
waive the limitation shall be submitted to the Congress together with
the project proposal pursuant to section 422d(c) of this title and shall
become effective only if the Congress has not, within 60 legislative
days, passed a joint resolution of disapproval for such a waiver.

enactment of this section, as the probable intent of Congress.

additional funds authorized to be appropriated effective Oct. 1, 1986,
authorizing waiver of that limitation, and requiring submission of
waiver decision to Congress.
