Sec. 1312. Financial assistance
(a) The Secretary of Energy is authorized to make grants to any
institution of higher education designated under section 1311 of this
title to pay the Federal share of the cost of establishing (including
the construction of such facilities as may be necessary) and maintaining
a coal laboratory.
(b) Each institution of higher education designated pursuant to
section 1311 of this title shall submit an application to the Secretary
of Energy. Each such application shall--
(1) set forth the program to be conducted at the coal laboratory
which includes the purposes set forth in section 1311(d) of this
title;
(2) provide assurances that the university will pay from non-
Federal sources the remaining costs of carrying out the program set
forth;
(3) provide such fiscal control and fund accounting procedures
as may be necessary to assure the proper disbursement of and
accounting for Federal funds received under this subchapter;
(4) provide for making an annual report which shall include a
description of the activities conducted at the coal laboratory and
an evaluation of the success of such activities, and such other
necessary reports in such form and containing such information as
the Secretary of Energy may require, and for keeping such records
and affording such access thereto as may be necessary to assure the
correctness and verification of such reports; and
(5) set forth such policies and procedures as will insure that
Federal funds made available under this section for any fiscal year
will be so used as to supplement and, to the extent practical,
increase the level of funds that would, in the absence of such
Federal funds, be made available for the purposes of the activities
described in subsections (d)(1), (2), and (3) of section 1311 of
this title, and in no case supplant such funds.
