              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
             CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
 
PART 302--CIVIL DEFENSE-STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EMA)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 302.8  Waiver of ``single'' State agency requirements.

    Section 205 of the Act requires that plans for civil defense of the 
United States be administered or supervised by a single State agency (50 
U.S.C. App. 2286). Notwithstanding such law, section 204 of the 
Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4214) provides 
authority for the Director as head of the grantor agency, upon the 
State's request, to waive the single State agency requirement and to 
approve other State administrative structure or arrangements, upon 
adequate showing that the requirement prevents the establishment of the 
most effective and efficient organizational arrangements within the 
State government. First, however, the Director must have found that the 
objectives of the Act (50 U.S.C. app. 2251 et seq.) will not be 
endangered by the use of such other State structure or arrangements. 
Attachment D of OMB Circular A-102 requires that such requests be given 
expeditious handling by the grantor agency and that, whenever possible, 
an affirmative response be made.
