SUBCHAPTER III--STATE MINING AND MINERAL RESOURCES RESEARCH INSTITUTES
Sec. 1223. Funding criteria
(a) Funds available to institutes under sections 1221 and 1222 of
this title shall be paid at such times and in such amounts during each
fiscal year as determined by the Secretary, and upon vouchers approved
by him. Each institute shall--
(1) set forth its plan to provide for the training of
individuals as mineral engineers and scientists under a curriculum
appropriate to the field of mineral resources and mineral
engineering and related fields;
(2) set forth policies and procedures which assure that Federal
funds made available under this subchapter for any fiscal year will
supplement and, to the extent practicable, increase the level of
funds that would, in the absence of such Federal funds, be made
available for purposes of this subchapter, and in no case supplant
such funds; and
(3) have an officer appointed by its governing authority who
shall receive and account for all funds paid under the provisions of
this subchapter and shall make an annual report to the Secretary on
or before the first day of September of each year, on work
accomplished and the status of projects underway, together with a
detailed statement of the amounts received under any provisions of
this subchapter during the preceding fiscal year, and of its
disbursements on schedules prescribed by the Secretary.
If any of the funds received by the authorized receiving officer of any
institute under the provisions of this subchapter shall by any action or
contingency be found by the Secretary to have been improperly
diminished, lost, or misapplied, such funds shall be replaced by the
State concerned and until so replaced no subsequent appropriation shall
be allotted or paid to any institute of such State.
(b) The institutes are authorized and encouraged to plan and conduct
programs under this subchapter in cooperation with each other and with
such other agencies and individuals as may contribute to the solution of
the mining and mineral resources problems involved. Moneys appropriated
pursuant to this subchapter shall be available for paying the necessary
expenses of planning, coordinating, and conducting such cooperative
research.
