    (a) Basis for action. (1) Determinations as to whether State plans

regulations.

delegated authority to approve the State plan and plan amendments on the 
basis of policy statements and precedents previously approved by the

    (c) Disapproval authority. (1) The Administrator retains authority 
for determining that proposed plan material is not approvable or that 
previously approved material no longer meets the requirements for 
approval.

disapproval without first consulting the Secretary.
