  program benefits are to be implemented as funds become available. However,
  input from the Byway Management Teams will be taken into consideration.
009.01A Byway Management Workshops: After
  official designation, the Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee will conduct one
  full-day workshop near each new byway for the purpose of assisting the Byway
  Management Team with its organization, defining its responsibilities, and
  obtaining the program benefits. These workshops may include the use of hired
  byway consultants. Lead Agency - The Nebraska Tourism Commission.
009.01B Byway Management Plan Assistance: The
  Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee will provide assistance to each Byway
  Management Team in fulfilling its commitment to create and adopt a Byway

  assistance will come in the form of in-kind staff time from the relevant
  agencies. If funds become available, the Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee may
  provide grants to the Byway Management Teams for the purpose of planning and/or
  implementation of the plans' recommendations. The Byway Management Teams may
  use funds awarded from the Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee to hire planning
  consultants. It is the sole responsibility of each Byway Management Team to
  implement the recommendations of its Byway Management Plan. Lead Agency - The
