subparagraph (A) is deemed not to be an obligation under
sections 1108(c), 1108(d), 1501, and 1502(a) of title 31

available budget authority specified in law.
‘‘(ii) STATEMENT OF CONTINGENT COMMITMENT.—
The agreement shall state that the contingent commit-
ment is not an obligation of the Government.
‘‘(iii) INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCING COSTS.—
Interest and other financing costs of efficiently carrying
out a part of the project within a reasonable time
are a cost of carrying out the project under a full
funding grant agreement, except that eligible costs may

applicant has shown reasonable diligence in seeking
the most favorable financing terms.

(1) expedite, in both metropolitan and rural areas, deploy-
ment and integration of intelligent transportation systems for
consumers of passenger and freight transportation;
(2) ensure that Federal, State, and local transportation
officials have adequate knowledge of intelligent transportation
systems for consideration in the transportation planning
process;
