Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed 90 percent of the United States share of the total estimated allowable project costs may be made from time to time in advance of accomplishment of the airport project to which the payments relate, if the sponsor certifies to the Secretary that the aggregate expenditures to be made from the advance payments will not at any time exceed the cost of the airport development work which has been performed up to that time.

Payments under a project grant agreement shall be made to the official or depository authorized by law to receive public funds and designated by the sponsor. SEC. 515.
