    (a) This part prescribes requirements State agencies shall meet to 

receive grants to develop comprehensive and coordinated systems for the 

delivery of supportive and nutrition services under title III of the 

Older Americans Act, as amended (Act). These requirements include:

    (1) Designation and responsibilities of State agencies;

    (2) State plans and amendments;

    (3) Services delivery; and

    (4) Hearing procedures for applicants for planning and services area 

designation.

    (b) The requirements of this part are based on title III of the Act. 

Title III provides for formula grants to State agencies on aging, under 

approved State plans, to stimulate the development or enhancement of 

comprehensive and coordinated community-based systems resulting in a 

continuum of services to older persons with special emphasis on older 

individuals with the greatest economic or social need, with

particular attention to low-income minority individuals. A responsive 

community-based system of services shall include collaboration in 

planning, resource allocation and delivery of a comprehensive array of 

services and opportunities for all older Americans in the community. The 

intent is to use title III funds as a catalyst in bringing together 

public and private resources in the community to assure the provision of 

a full range of efficient, well coordinated and accessible services for 

older persons.

    (c) Each State agency designates planning and service areas in the 

State, and makes a subgrant or contract under an approved area plan to 

one area agency in each planning and service area for the purpose of 

building comprehensive systems for older people throughout the State. 

Area agencies in turn make subgrants or contracts to service providers 

to perform certain specified functions.
