Abstract
This interim final rule establishes procedures for determining allocations of funds under a new Federal grant program. Section 157 of title 23, United States Code, directs the Secretary of Transportation to allocate funds to States whose seat belt use rates meet certain requirements. Allocations are to be based on savings in medical costs to the Federal Government due to seat belt use rates that meet the requirements. In order to allocate the funds, the Secretary must determine which States have seat belt use rates that meet the requirements and the amount of medical savings to the Federal Government attributable to each such State's seat belt use rate. This document sets forth the requirements that govern allocations of funds under this program.
