ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES--Table of Contents

 

      Subpart B_Certification of Substantially Equivalent Agencies

 

Sec.  115.201  Basis of determination.



    A determination to certify an agency as substantially equivalent 

involves a two-phase procedure. The determination requires examination 

and an affirmative conclusion by the Assistant Secretary on two separate 

inquiries:

    (a) Whether the law, administered by the agency, on its face, 

satisfies the criteria set forth in section 810(f)(3)(A) of the Act; and

    (b) Whether the current practices and past performance of the agency 

demonstrate that, in operation, the law in fact provides rights and 

remedies which are substantially equivalent to those provided in the 

Act.
