In allocating grants to State agencies under the pipeline safety laws, (49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.), the Secretary considers whether a State has adopted or is seeking to adopt a one-call damage prevention program in accordance with §198.37. If a State has not adopted or is not seeking to adopt such program, the State agency may not receive the full reimbursement to which it would otherwise be entitled.
