§ 80-a. State prefinancing of federal share of non-state highway

projects. In connection with the undertaking by a municipality of a

non-state highway project for which the commissioner is authorized to

use moneys of the federal government pursuant to the provisions of

section eighty of this chapter the commissioner is hereby authorized to

advance from any state highway appropriation made in the first instance

and subject to subsequent reimbursement in accordance with the

provisions of Title 23, U.S. Code, "Highways" to such municipality the

share of the federal government of such project.

The first instance advances herein authorized shall be available only

after the Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation

of the United States of America, shall notify the commissioner of

transportation that each specific project for which such first instance

advances are contemplated have been approved and that the required share

of federal funds which have been apportioned to the State of New York

for expenditure have been entered on the official records of such

Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, as a

commitment of such funds.

The commissioner shall undertake such supervision and management of

the municipal project so advanced in order to fulfill any and all

agreements with the Federal Highway Administration in order to assure

federal reimbursement of the first instance advances herein authorized.

The commissioner shall provide for the management of the first

instance advances and federal reimbursements herein authorized in a

manner consistent with the management of any other federally aided state
