Sec. 4.7  How does the Director communicate with State and local officials concerning FEMA's programs and activities?

    (a) For those programs and activities covered by a state process 
under Sec. 4.6, the Director, to the extent permitted by law:
    (1) Uses the state process to determine views of State and local 
elected officials; and,
    (2) Communicates with State and local elected officials, through the 
state process, as early in a program planning cycle as is reasonably 
feasible to explain specific plans and actions.
    (b) The Director provides notice to directly affected State, 
areawide, regional, and local entities in a State of proposed Federal 
financial assistance or direct Federal development if:
    (1) The State has not adopted a process under the Order; or
    (2) The assistance or development involves a program or activity not 
selected for the State process.

This notice may be made by publication in the Federal Register or other 
appropriate means, which FEMA in its discretion deems appropriate.
