50 C.F.R. § 80.61
What sources of funding in the Wildlife Restoration Act may a State fish and wildlife agency use to support public target range projects, and may funds from multiple sources be used in a single award?
Table 1 to § 80.61 describes the sources of funding available for public target range projects and identifies their subaccount number. The Service uses subaccounts in the Department of the Interior's financial management system, the Financial and Business Management System or FBMS, to administer the specific use requirements for program and subprogram funding sources under the Acts. A State fish and wildlife agency may combine funds from multiple sources within the Act for eligible public target range activities. Your Regional OCI staff Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program Office can provide technical assistance on best practices for allocating costs to multiple eligible funding sources.
