# 80.60 What is the relationship between the Traditional Wildlife Restoration Program, the Basic Hunter Education and Safety subprogram, and the Enhanced Hunter Education and Safety program for acquiring land for, expanding, or constructing public target ranges?

(a) The Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act (Pub. L. 116-17, March 10, 2019) amended the Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 *et seq.*) to include activities for acquiring land for, expanding, or constructing public target ranges but does not authorize any new sources of funding. The law became effective for States beginning October 1, 2019.

(b) When a State fish and wildlife agency allocates funds to activities for acquiring land for, expanding, or constructing public target ranges under this law, it may apply a 90 percent Federal/10 percent non-Federal cost share and funds are available for obligation up to 5 years, beginning October 1 of the year the funds first become available. We abbreviate this funding method as “90/10/5.”

(c) An agency may allocate annually apportioned funds for 90/10/5 activities from the Traditional Wildlife Restoration program (not to exceed 10 percent), Basic Hunter Education and Safety subprogram (any amount from 0 up to 100 percent), and/or Enhanced Hunter Education and Safety program (any amount from 0 up to 100 percent) to projects for acquiring land for, expanding, or constructing public target ranges. There is no requirement for States to allocate any amount of funds to 90/10/5 activities.

(d) When using up to 10 percent of annually apportioned Traditional Wildlife Restoration program funds for 90/10/5 activities, the funds must be allocated to the designated subaccount and must be used only for eligible 90/10/5 purposes. Some amount of available Enhanced Hunter Education and Safety program funds, at least $1, must be combined with the Traditional Wildlife Restoration program funds allocated to 90/10/5 activities.

(e) An agency must allocate funds to a 90/10/5 subaccount within the FFY that funds are first apportioned. Funds allocated to a 90/10/5 subaccount during a prior FFY must remain in that 90/10/5 subaccount for obligation during the period of availability and until expended.

(f) Acquiring land for, expanding, or constructing public target ranges may also be accomplished, in total or when combined with 90/10/5 funds, using funds under the Basic Hunter Education and Safety subprogram, the Enhanced Hunter Education and Safety program, or both, but the agency must apply cost share and period of availability according to table 1 to § 80.61.
