Search 23 U.S.C. § 123 : US Code - Section 123: Relocation of utility facilities

(a) When a State shall pay for the cost of relocation of utility
facilities necessitated by the construction of a project on any
Federal-aid system, Federal funds may be used to reimburse the
State for such cost in the same proportion as Federal funds are
expended on the project. Federal funds shall not be used to
reimburse the State under this section when the payment to the
utility violates the law of the State or violates a legal contract
between the utility and the State. Such reimbursement shall be made
only after evidence satisfactory to the Secretary shall have been
presented to him substantiating the fact that the State has paid
such cost from its own funds with respect to Federal-aid highway
projects for which Federal funds are obligated subsequent to April
16, 1958, for work, including relocation of utility facilities.
(b) The term "utility", for the purposes of this section, shall
include publicly, privately, and cooperatively owned utilities.
(c) The term "cost of relocation", for the purposes of this
section, shall include the entire amount paid by such utility
properly attributable to such relocation after deducting therefrom
any increase in the value of the new facility and any salvage value
derived from the old facility.
