Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 52, December 24, 2024
The following methods of payment shall apply to the several
State aid programs:
(a) State aid for
local environmental conservation activities shall be paid at a rate determined
by the commissioner after review and approval of State aid applications, with
such adjustment of that rate as may be necessary to distribute the entire
amount approved by the Director of the Budget. No applicant shall receive more
than 50 percent of its total reimbursable expenses.
(1) Claims shall be submitted quarterly not
later than two months after the calendar quarter in which the expenditures
claimed were made. Upon receipt from all applicants of the claims for the
fourth calendar quarter for any calendar year, or in any event by June 15
following such calendar year, the commissioner shall calculate the total
allowable expenditures claimed by each applicant during such calendar year; if
there are insufficient funds remaining in the amount approved by the Director
of the Budget to pay all allowable claims, the commissioner shall distribute
any remaining balance of such amount in proportion to the relationship which
each applicant's total allowable expenditures bears to the total allowable
expenditures of all applicants. If the commissioner believes at any time that
there may be insufficient funds to pay all allowable claims in full, he may,
until such time as he can make the calculations required by this paragraph (1),
make interim distributions in payment of such portion of a claim for any
calendar quarter as he in his discretion believes to be prudent and
equitable.
(2) Claims received
later than two months after the calendar quarter during which the expenditures
claimed were made may be returned unpaid, in which case they may not be
resubmitted.
(3) If the fourth
quarter and all previous claims by an applicant are not received on or before
June 15, the commissioner may apportion the remaining approved balance among
the allowable claims submitted by the other applicants.
(4) The rate established shall provide for
reimbursement of all salaries and wages of personnel employed directly in the
performance of environmental conservation activities and of such additional
eligible expenditures as may be incurred in the administration of:
(i) Federally-aided local air pollution
control programs.
(ii) Local
mosquito abatement programs conducted for health or health related
purposes.
(iii) Local environmental
control agencies as described in subdivision (a) of section
635.4
of this Part.
(b) State aid for laboratories providing
environmental conservation services shall be paid at a rate jointly determined
by the commissioner and the State Commissioner of Health after review and
approval of State aid applications, with such adjustment of that rate as may be
necessary to distribute the entire amount approved by the Director of the
Budget. No applicant shall receive more than 50 percent of its total
reimbursable expenses.
(1) Claims shall be
submitted quarterly not later than two months after the calendar quarter in
which the expenditures claimed were made. Upon receipt from all applicants of
the claims for the fourth calendar quarter for any calendar year, or in any
event by June 15 following such calendar year, the commissioner and the
Commissioner of Health shall calculate the total allowable expenditures claimed
by each applicant during such calendar year; if there are insufficient funds
remaining in the amount approved by the Director of the Budget to pay all
allowable claims, the commissioner and the Commissioner of Health shall
distribute any remaining balance of such amount in proportion to the
relationship which each applicant's total allowable expenditures bears to the
total allowable expenditures of all applicants. If the commissioner and the
Commissioner of Health believe at any time that there may be insufficient funds
to pay all allowable claims in full, they may, until such time as they can make
the calculations required by this paragraph (1), make interim distributions in
payment of such portion of a claim for any calendar quarter as they in their
discretion believe to be prudent and equitable.
(2) Claims received later than two months
after the calendar quarter during which the expenditures claimed were made may
be returned unpaid, in which case they may not be resubmitted.
(3) If the fourth quarter and all previous
claims by the applicant are not received on or before June 15, the commissioner
and the Commissioner of Health may apportion the remaining approved balance
among the allowable claims submitted by the other applicants.
