A local government is eligible for a payment pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 48653, if it develops and submits a local used oil collection program to the board pursuant to Section 48691 and files a report pursuant to Section 48674. The board shall make a payment to every local government that submits a program and files a report unless the board finds that the program or its implementation does not comply with criteria contained in this article. The board may make a payment to another entity that will implement the program of a local government in lieu of making a payment to that local government with the concurrence of that local government. A payment issued by the board pursuant to this section may take the form of an advance payment. If a local government does not implement a used oil collection program or chooses not to accept the payment pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 48653, the board may allocate that local government’s payment to another local government that commits to implementing a used oil collection program pursuant to Section 48691 and serving the residents of the nonparticipating local government, if any program implemented within the boundaries of the nonparticipating jurisdiction is approved by the nonparticipating jurisdiction.
