See 41 Comptroller General 16 (1961).

Pursuant to section 1303(f) of the SAFETEA-LU, the Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program funds resulting from this apportionment shall be available for obligation in the same manner as if the funds were apportioned under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), except that the funds shall remain available until expended.
The funds resulting from this apportionment are available for obligation immediately and will be subject to obligation controls in force at the time of obligation.
The Federal share will be in accordance with section 120 of title 23, U.S.C.
The program code to be used when obligating funds is L1G0.
What is the background information?
Section 1101(a)(11) of the SAFETEA-LU authorizes a total of $145,000,000 in contract authority for the Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program.
This program replaces the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century Coordinated Border Infrastructure Discretionary Program that ends after 2005.
