B-167694, May 22, 1978, modified. This decision is in response to a request from the Department of Commerce as to whether community development block grant funds may be used to pay the local matching share required for federal grants to States as authorized by sections 305 and 306 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. 16 U.S.C. SS 1454 and 1455. Our con- sideration of the question is premised upon the proper in- clusion of coastal zone projects within community development programs meeting all requirements of the community develop- ment act. The question arises because of two apparently conflict- ing provisions of law. The coastal zone act, which provides for federal grants on a sharing basis, specifically precludes the use of fed- eral funds from other sources to meet the grantee's cost share.. On the other hand, the Housing and Community Develop- ment Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 5 5301 et seq., which authorizes grants on an entitlement basis, specifically provides for payment of non-federal shares required in connection with federal grant-in-aid programs undertaken as part of a com- munity development program. How are we to reconcile the prohibition of the one with the authority of the other?
