# §752.11. Federal participation.

- (a) Federal-aid highway funds, but generally excluding Interstate construction funds, are available for landscape development; for the acquisition and development of safety rest areas, scenic overlooks, and scenic lands; for the development of information centers and systems; and for the removal of abandoned motor vehicles.
- (b) Federal-aid highway funds may participate in any landscaping project undertaken pursuant to [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section provided that at least one-quarter of one percent of funds expended for such landscaping project is used to plant native wildflower seeds or seedlings or both. The Administrator may, upon the request of a State highway agency, grant a waiver to this requirement provided the State certifies that:
  - (1) Native wildflowers or seedlings cannot be grown satisfactorily; or
  - (2) There is a scarcity of available planting areas; or
  - (3) The available planting areas will be used for agricultural purposes.
- (c) Subject to the requirement of [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section, Federal-aid highway funds may participate in plant establishment periods in or associated with landscape development.
- (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section, Federal-aid highway funds may participate in the planting of flowering materials, including native wildflowers, donated by garden clubs and other organizations or individuals.
- (e) The value of donated plant materials shall not count toward the one-quarter of one percent minimum expenditure required by [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section.
- (f) Federal-aid funds may not be used for assemblage, printing, or distribution of information materials; for temporary or portable information facilities; or for installation, operation, or maintenance of vending machines.
