The provisions of this article as they relate
  to federal funds shall only be applicable to the extent a  state  agency
  is  in  receipt  of  federal  funds  for  a particular program; provided
  however, the provisions of this article shall be applicable  to  federal
  funds,  including  but not limited to funds such as petroleum overcharge
  moneys, only to the extent that any required federal or court review  or

  and no notification of disapproval has been received by a state  agency.
  Any time frame contained within the provisions of this article shall run
  from  the  date  of  the  notification  to  a state agency of receipt of
  federal funds, or the completion of any required federal or court review
  or approval process, whichever is applicable, provided  however  that  a
  not-for-profit  organization  receiving  federal  funds  to  which  such
  timeframes  are  applicable  shall  be  entitled  to  interest  payments
  pursuant  to section one hundred seventy-nine-v of this article or after
  one hundred twenty days following the state's receipt of  federal  funds
  for the program, whichever is later.
