5. (e) A grantee awarded additional ATPA funds as provided in subsection (d) of this section must expend its 20% cash contribution prior to the expenditure of any ATPA funds.
6. (f) A grantee, in an 80% funding year, may apply for additional funding above 80% of the second year award, for costs incurred in conjunction with the consolidation of existing grant programs or the inclusion of new agencies in a current grant program.
