Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the "Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968".
For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of title 23, United States Code, the following sums are hereby authorized to be appropriated:
(9) For Indian reservation roads and bridges, $30,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1970, and $30,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971.
Section 120 (a) of title 23, United States Code, is hereby amended to read as follows:
"(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this section, the Federal share payable on account of any project, financed with primary, secondary, or urban funds, on the Federal-aid primary system and the Federal-aid secondary system shall either (A) not exceed 50 per centum of the cost of construction, except that in the case of any State containing nontaxable Indian lands, individual and tribal, and public domain lands (both reserved and unreserved) exclusive of national forests and national parks and monuments, exceeding 5 per centum of the total area of all lands therein, the Federal share shall be increased by a percentage of the remaining cost equal to the percentage that the area of all such lands in such State, is of its total area, or (B) not exceed 50 per centum of the cost of construction, except that in the case of any State containing nontaxable Indian lands, individual and tribal, public domain lands (both reserved and unreserved), national forests, and national parks and monuments, the Federal share shall be increased by a percentage of the remaining cost equal to the percentage that the area of all such lands in such State is of its total area, except that the Federal share payable on any project in a State shall not exceed 95 per centum of the total cost of any such project. In any case where a State elects to have the Federal share provided in clause (B) of this subsection, the State must enter into an agreement with the Secretary covering a period of not less than one year, requiring such State to use solely for highway construction purposes (other than paying its share of projects approved under this title) during the period covered by such agreement the difference between the State's share as provided in clause (B) and what its share would be if it elected to pay the share provided in clause (A) for all projects subject to such agreement."
Approved, August 23, 1968.
