- (b) **Cost-sharing—**
  - (1) 50 percent of the cost of the development and implementation of the [program](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=1) must be provided by one or more non-Federal sources on a basis considered by the [Secretary](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=2) to be timely and appropriate.

  - (2) In [addition](/usc/16/410r–5.md?p=c-2) to cash outlays, the [Secretary](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=2) shall consider as financial contributions by a non-Federal source the value of inkind contributions and real and personal property provided by the source for purposes of implementing the [program](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=1). Valuations made by the [Secretary](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=2) under this paragraph are final and not subject to judicial review.

    - (B) the standards under which the [Secretary](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=2) will determine the value of inkind contributions and real and personal property for purposes of [paragraph (2)](#b-2).
  - (5) The [Secretary](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=2) may not consider the expenditure, either directly or indirectly, with respect to the [program](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=1) of Federal moneys received by a [State](/usc/16/590q.md?p=a) or local government to be a financial contribution by a non-Federal source to carry out the [program](/usc/16/460ss–6.md?p=1).
