(a) In general
The Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration may, in accordance with section 6002 of this title,
make grants to States, political subdivisions of States, and
nonprofit organizations for programs that require or encourage
individuals under the age of 16 to wear approved bicycle helmets.
In making those grants, the Administrator shall allow grantees to
use wide discretion in designing programs that effectively promote
increased bicycle helmet use.
(b) Federal share
The amount provided by a grant under this section shall not
exceed 80 percent of the cost of the program for which the grant is
made. In crediting the recipient State, political subdivision, or
nonprofit organization for the non-Federal share of the cost of
such a program (other than planning and administration), the
aggregate of all expenditures made by such State, political
subdivision, or nonprofit organization (exclusive of Federal funds)
for the purposes described in section 6002 of this title (other
than expenditures for planning and administration) shall be
available for such crediting, without regard to whether such
expenditures were actually made in connection with such program.
