(a) The responsibilities of the state board include
management of program funds and program oversight. The state board is

board shall have primary responsibility for the reporting aspects of
the program.
(b) The responsibilities of a district include local administration of project funds, monitoring funded projects, and reporting results to the state board, in accordance with this chapter. Any project funds awarded to a successful applicant shall be disbursed by the district.

(a) The state board shall establish or update grant criteria
and guidelines consistent with this chapter for covered vehicle and
infrastructure projects as soon as practicable, but not later than
July 1, 2017. The adoption of guidelines is exempt from the
rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter
3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title
2 of the Government Code). The state board shall solicit input and
comment from the districts during the development of the criteria and
guidelines and shall make every effort to develop criteria and
guidelines that are compatible with existing district programs that
are also consistent with this chapter. Guidelines shall include
protocols to calculate project cost-effectiveness. The grant criteria
and guidelines shall include safeguards to ensure that the project
generates surplus emissions reductions. Guidelines shall enable and
encourage districts to cofund projects that provide emissions
reductions in more than one district. The state board shall make
draft criteria and guidelines available to the public 45 days before
final adoption, and shall hold at least one public meeting to
consider public comments before final adoption. The state board may
develop separate guidelines and criteria for the different types of
eligible projects described in subdivision (a) of Section 44281.

The guidelines shall be established and published by the state board as soon as practicable, but not later than January 1, 2006.
(e) Funds shall be reserved by the state board for administration by a district that adopts an eligible program pursuant to this chapter and offers matching funds at a ratio of one dollar ($1) of matching funds committed by the district or the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee for every two dollars ($2) committed from the fund. Funds available to the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee may be counted as matching funds for projects in the South Coast Air Basin only if the committee approves the use of these funds for matching purposes. Matching funds may be any funds under the district's budget authority that are committed to be expended in accordance with the program. Funds committed by a port authority or a local government, in cooperation with a district, to be expended in accordance with the program may also be counted as district matching funds. Matching funds provided by a port authority or a local government shall not exceed 30 percent of the total required matching funds in any district that applies for more than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of the state board funds. Only a district, or a port authority or a local government teamed with a district, may provide matching funds.

(i) A district desiring a reservation of funds shall apply to the state board following the application guidelines established pursuant to this section. The state board shall approve or disapprove a district application not later than 60 days after receipt. Upon approval of any district application, the state board shall simultaneously approve a reservation of funding for that district to administer. Reserved funds shall be disbursed to the district so that funding of a district-approved project is not impeded.
(j) Any funds reserved for a district by the state board pursuant to this section are available for disbursement to the district for a period of not more than two years from the time of reservation. Funds not liquidated by a district by June 30 of the fourth calendar year following the date of the reservation shall be returned to the state board within 90 days for future allocation pursuant to this chapter. Each reservation of funds shall be accounted for separately, and unused funds from each application shall revert back to the state board for use pursuant to this chapter as specified in this subdivision.
(k) The state board shall specify a date each year when district applications are due. If the eligible applications received in any year oversubscribe the available funds, the state board shall reserve funds on an allocation basis, pursuant to Section 44299.2. The state board may accept a district application after the due date for a period of months specified by the state board. Funds may be reserved in response to those applications, in accordance with this chapter, out of funds remaining after the original reservation of funds for the year.
(l) Guidelines for a district application shall require information from an applicant district to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter, but shall otherwise minimize the information required of a district.

(4) Funding from programs that are intended to provide covered emissions reductions but do not require those reductions to be able to be credited to the state implementation plan.
(b) Nothing in this section authorizes the expenditure of funds for a project that does not meet all of the requirements of this chapter, including requirements that require cost sharing or the matching of funds. The sum of the total grants shall not exceed the project cost. The covered emissions reductions paid for pursuant to this chapter shall not be claimed by the other funding sources.
