At any time after the submittal of a final
prospectus and prior to the time the first RATA reimbursement has
been sent to the county, a county may withdraw a RATA funded
project. Withdrawal may occur either before or after the county
road administration board has allocated RATA funds to the
project. The statement of withdrawal must be in writing and
signed by the chair of the board of county commissioners or the
county executive, as appropriate. The withdrawal shall be
effective upon receipt by the county road administration board. If RATA funds have been allocated to the project and a
CRAB/county contract has been executed, the contract will be
voided and((, at the next regular county road administration
board meeting,)) the RATA funds will be allocated to other
projects within the region.

(1) If a county terminates an uncompleted RATA
funded project for which RATA reimbursement has been made and is
prepared to repay the RATA for all RATA funds received, the

board of county commissioners or the county executive as
appropriate, inform the county road administration board of its
termination of the project. The letter shall state the reasons
for termination and commit to repaying all RATA funds received
for the project. Upon acknowledgement of such termination by the
county road administration board, the county shall repay the
county road administration board for all RATA funds paid to the
county on that project within sixty days of such acknowledgement.
((Upon)) After receipt of the RATA repayment, the county road
administration board will void the CRAB/county contract and((, at
the next regular county road administration board meeting,))
allocate the RATA funds to other projects within the region.
(2) If a county terminates an uncompleted RATA funded project for which RATA reimbursement has been made and does not want to be required to repay the county road administration board for all RATA funds received, a letter of request signed by the chair of the board of county commissioners or the county executive as appropriate must be sent to the county road administration board. The request must include:
(a) An explanation of the reasons that the project will not proceed to completion;
(b) A statement of the amount of RATA funds which the county does not want to repay; and
(c) An explanation of why the county believes full repayment should not be made.
If the county road administration board grants the request, the county shall repay all RATA funds not exempted from repayment, the CRAB/county contract will be amended, and the remaining RATA funds will be allocated to other projects within the region. If the county road administration board denies the request, full repayment shall be made as provided in subsection (1) of this section.
