              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE

 

 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

                                SECURITY

 

PART 302_CIVIL DEFENSE-STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE 

PROGRAM (EMA)--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 302.8  Waiver of ``single'' State agency requirements.



    Section 205 of the Act requires that plans for civil defense of the 

United States be administered or supervised by a single State agency (50 

U.S.C. App. 2286). Notwithstanding such law, section 204 of the 

Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4214) provides 

authority for the Director as head of the grantor agency, upon the 

State's request, to waive the single State agency requirement and to 

approve other State administrative structure or arrangements, upon 

adequate showing that the requirement prevents the establishment of the 

most effective and efficient organizational arrangements within the 

State government. First, however, the Director must have found that the 

objectives of the Act (50 U.S.C. app. 2251 et seq.) will not be 

endangered by the use of such other State structure or arrangements. 

Attachment D of OMB Circular A-102 requires that such requests be given 

expeditious handling by the grantor agency and that, whenever possible, 

an affirmative response be made.
