    (b) Entities other than a local board or alternate administering 
agency or a political subdivision of the State must submit an 
application for competitive grant funds in conjunction with the 
applicable local board or alternate administering agency or political 
subdivision.
    (1) The term ``in conjunction with'' shall mean that the application 
submitted by such an entity must include a signed certification by both 
the applicant and either the applicable local board or alternate

    (i) The applicant has consulted with the applicable local board or 
alternate administering agency or political subdivision during the 
development of the application; and
    (ii) The activities proposed in the application are consistent with, 
and will be coordinated with, WtW efforts of the local board or 
alternate administering agency or political subdivision.
    (2) If the applicant is unable to include such a certification in 
its application, the applicant will be required to certify, and provide 
information indicating that efforts were undertaken to consult with the 
local board or alternate administering agency or political subdivision 
and that the local board or alternate administering agency or political 
subdivision was provided a sufficient opportunity to cooperate in the 
development of the project plan and to review and comment on the 
application prior to its submission to the Secretary. ``Sufficient 
opportunity for local Board or alternate administering agency or 
political subdivision review and comment'' shall mean at least 30 
calendar days.
    (3) The certification described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, 
or the evidence of efforts to consult described in paragraph (b)(2), 
must be with each local board or alternate administering agency or 
political subdivision included in the geographic area in which the
