For purposes of additional tax credit, findings are made regarding reduced rates of contributions permitted by the State law (section 3303(a) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954). So that the Secretary of Labor may be enabled to determine the status of State laws and plans of operation, all relevant State materials, such as statutes, executive and administrative orders, legal opinions, rules, regulations, interpretations, court decisions, etc., are required to be submitted currently. (a) Submission. The States submit currently to the RAETA two copies of relevant State material, properly certified by an authorized State official to be true and complete. (b) Review. The RAETA reviews the State material and forwards one copy to the central office with his comments. The central office reviews the material from the standpoint of its conformity with section 303(a) of the Social Security Act, section 3303(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, or the Wagner-Peyser Act, as the case may be. (c) Findings. The Secretary makes findings as provided in the cited sections of the Federal law. In the event that the Secretary is unable to make the findings required for certification for payment or for certification of the law for purposes of additional tax credit, further discussions with State officials are undertaken.
