I spoke to my contacts at HDOT and FHWA public affairs. Neither of them are aware of any policy that you stated previously in this thread, James.

FHWA public affairs response:

"I can't confirm or deny that, since there are many examples of federal funding being used for maintenance on parallel routes -- such as I-80 and I-70 which both connect in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Decisions about how federal funds are to be used are generally up to the states but I am not aware of anything that would validate this claim."

Thanks. I will do some checking also.
