(a) The rate of reimbursement of expenditures shall not exceed the rate determined by the commission in its allocation of funds.
(b) After notifying the commission of savings in any phase, the lead applicant may use those savings for expenditures on a later phase of the same project.
(c) If additional funds are needed to complete a project, the lead applicant agency shall be responsible for securing the funding needed from other sources outside this program. The commission may not increase the allocation from this program beyond the amount specified for the project in Article 5 (commencing with Section 14556.40) unless the Governor and the Legislature subsequently designate a higher amount for the project.
(d) If a project can be completed at a lower cost than expected, any savings shall be divided among all funding sources contributing to the project in the proportion each of the funding sources bears to the total funding for the project as defined in the approved project application. For the savings that revert to this program, the commission shall determine the amount to be returned to the fund.
(e) If a determination is made to cease funding for a project, funds allocated but not expended on any phase shall be returned to the fund.
