3.5 Effective Date of Project The effective date of a library construction project is no earlier than the date of state agency approval. Expenditures by local applicants for architect fees, site acquisition and preliminary planning costs of an approved project, made prior to the date of state agency approval are eligible as matching funds, but only if made within three years prior to the date af contract. 3.6 Supplemental Funds Most federal programs do not allow local funds used to match one federal program to be used again to match another federal program. Each applicant must determine the specific matching requirements of the federal programs from which funding is sought and ensure that these requirements are fully met. In accordance with 34 CFR 76.760, the following guideline pre- vails: An applicant may use funds under more than one federal library program to support different parts of the same library construction project, if it meets the following requirements: a. The applicant complies with the requirements of each federal grant program with respect to the part of the project assisted with funds under that program, and b. The applicant has an accounting system that permits identification of the costs paid for under the library construction project. 3.7 Questions 1-10 on the Project Budget 3.71 Identify in questions 1-5 all the federal grants you are seeking or have already secured.
