Sec. 205.22  How are accurate clearance patterns maintained?

    (a) If a State has knowledge, at any time, that a clearance pattern 
no longer reflects a Federal assistance program's actual clearance 
activity, or if a Federal assistance program undergoes operational 
changes that may affect clearance activity, the State must notify us, 
develop a new clearance pattern, and certify that the new pattern 
corresponds to the Federal assistance program's clearance activity. 
Clearance patterns will remain in effect until a new clearance pattern 
is certified.
    (b) An authorized State official must certify that a clearance 
pattern corresponds to the clearance activity of the Federal assistance 
program to which it is applied. An authorized State official must re-
certify the accuracy of a clearance pattern at least every five years. 
If a State develops a clearance pattern for a bank account or a specific 
type of payment, or on another basis, as set forth in Sec. 205.21, we 
may prescribe other requirements for re-certifying the accuracy of the 
clearance pattern. A State can begin to use a new clearance pattern on 
the date the new clearance pattern is certified.
