  Subpart B--Application, Approval, and Funding of the Highway Safety 
                                 Program
 
Sec. 1200.13  Approval.

    (a) Upon receipt of application documents complying with the 
provisions of Sec. 1200.10 and Sec. 1200.11 of this part, the Approving 
Official will issue a letter of approval to the Governor and the 
Governor's Representative for Highway Safety.
    (b) The approval letter identified in paragraph (a) of this section 
will contain the following statement:

    We have reviewed (STATE)'s ____________ fiscal year 19__ Performance 
Plan, Highway Safety Plan, Certification Statement, and Cost Summary (HS 
Form 217), as received on (DATE) ________. Based on these submissions, 
we find your State's highway safety program to be in compliance with the 
requirements of the Section 402 program. This determination does not 
constitute an obligation of Federal funds for the fiscal year identified 
above or an authorization to incur costs against those funds. The 
obligation of Section 402 program funds will be effected in writing by 
the NHTSA Administrator at the commencement of the fiscal year 
identified above. However, Federal funds reprogrammed from the prior-
year Highway Safety Program (carry-forward funds) will be available for 
immediate use by the State on October 1. Reimbursement will be 
contingent upon the submission of an updated HS Form 217 (or its 
electronic equivalent), consistent with the requirements of 23 CFR 
1200.14(d), within 30 days after either the beginning of the fiscal year 
identified above or the date of this letter, whichever is later.

    (c) If approval is withheld, for reasons of non-compliance with 
Sec. 1200.10 or Sec. 1200.11 of this part or other applicable law, the 
Approving Official shall identify in writing the specific area(s) of 
non-compliance which formed the basis for withholding approval.
