Sec. 1908.3  Eligibility and funding.

    (a) State eligibility. Any state may enter into an agreement with 
the Assistant Secretary to perform consultation for private sector 
employers; except that a state having a plan approved under section 18 
of the Act is eligible to participate in the program only if that Plan 
does not include provisions for federally funded consultation to private 
sector employers as a part of its plan.
    (b) Reimbursement. (1) The Assistant Secretary will reimburse 90 
percent of the costs incurred under a Cooperative Agreement entered into 
pursuant to this part. Approved training of State staff operating under 
a Cooperative Agreement and specified out-of-State travel by such staff 
will be fully reimbursed.
    (2) Reimbursement to States under this part is limited to costs 
incurred in providing consultation to private sector employers only.
    (i) In all States with Plans approved under section 18 of the Act, 
consultation provided to State and local governments, as well as the 
remaining range of voluntary compliance activities referred to in 29 CFR 
1902.4(c)(2)(xiii), will not be affected by the provisions of this part. 
Federal reimbursement for these activities will be made in accordance 
with the provisions of section 23(g) of the Act.

    (ii) In States without Plans approved under section 18, no Federal

by a State with 100 percent State funding.
