49 USC 2213.

The Secretary, after consultation with the sponsor with which a project grant agreement has been entered into, may determine the times and amounts in which payments shall be made under the terms of such agreement. Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed 90 percent of the United States share of the total estimated allowable project costs may be made from time to time in advance of accomplishment of the airport project to which the payments relate, if the sponsor certifies to the Secretary that the aggregate expenditures to be made from the advance payments will not at any time exceed the cost of the airport development work which has been performed up to that time. If the Secretary determines that the aggregate amount of payments made under a project grant agreement at any tim.e exceeds the United States share of the total allowable project costs, the United States shall be entitled to recover the excess. If the Secretary finds that any airport development to which the advance payments relate has not been accomplished within a reasonable time or the project is not completed, the United States may recover any part of the advance payment for which the United States received no benefit. Payments under a project grant agreement shall be made to the official or depository authorized by law to receive public funds and designated by the sponsor. SEC. 515.

Such regulations shall require such cost and progress reporting by the sponsor or sponsors of such project as the Secretary shall deem necessary. No such regulation shall have the effect of altering any contract in connection with any project entered into without actual notice of the regulation.
