    (a) The Secretary may monitor all recipients and subrecipients of 
financial assistance pursuant to section 163 of the Act.
    (b) The Governor is responsible for oversight of all SDA and SSG 
activities and State-supported programs. The Governor shall develop and 
make available for review a State monitoring plan. The plan shall 
specify the mechanism which:
    (1) Ensures that established policies to achieve program quality and 
outcomes meet the objectives of the Act and regulations promulgated 
thereunder;
    (2) Enables the Governor to determine if SDA's and SSG's have 
demonstrated substantial compliance with the requirements for oversight;
    (3) Determines whether the Job Training Plan shall be disapproved 
consistent with the criteria contained in section 105(b)(1) of the Act;
    (4) Regularly examines expenditures against the cost categories and 
cost limitations specified in the Act and these regulations;
    (5) Ensures that all areas of SDA and SSG operations are monitored 
onsite regularly, but not less than once annually; and
    (6) Provides for corrective action to be imposed if conditions in 
paragraphs (b)(1)-(4) of this section are not met.
    (c) The Governor shall issue instructions to SDA's and title III 
SSG's on the development of a substate monitoring plan. The instructions 
for development of the monitoring plan, at a minimum, shall address the 
monitoring scope and frequency, and the Secretary's emphasis and 
direction. The substate monitoring plan shall be part of the job 
training plan.
    (d) The Governor shall establish general standards for PIC oversight 
responsibilities. The required PIC standards shall be included in the 
Governor's Coordination and Special Services Plan (GCSSP).
    (e)(1) The PIC, pursuant to standards established by the Governor, 
shall establish specific policies for monitoring and oversight of SDA 
performance which shall be described in the job training plan.
    (2) The PIC shall exercise independent oversight over activities 
under the job training plan which shall not be circumscribed by 
agreements with the appropriate chief elected official(s) of the SDA.
    (f) The PIC and chief elected official(s) may conduct such oversight 
as they, individually or jointly, deem necessary or delegate oversight 
responsibilities to an appropriate entity pursuant to their mutual 
agreement.
