Sec.  570.308  Joint requests.



    (a) Joint requests and cooperation agreements. (1) Any urban county 

and any metropolitan city located, in whole or in part, within that 

county may submit a joint request to HUD to approve the inclusion of the 

metropolitan city as a part of the urban county for purposes of planning 

and implementing a joint community development and housing program. Such 

a joint request shall only be considered if submitted at the time the 

county is seeking a three year qualification or requalification as an 

urban county. Such a joint request shall, upon approval by HUD, remain 

effective for the period for which the county is qualified as an urban 

county. An urban county may be joined by more than one metropolitan 

city, but a metropolitan city located in more than one urban county may 

only be included in one urban county for any program year. A joint 

request shall be deemed approved by HUD unless HUD notifies the city and 

the county of its disapproval and the reasons therefore within 30 days 

of receipt of the request by HUD.

    (2) Each metropolitan city and urban county submitting a joint 

request shall submit an executed cooperation agreement to undertake or 

to assist in the undertaking of essential community development and 

housing assistance activities, as defined in Sec.  570.307(c).

    (b) Joint grant amount. The grant amount for a joint recipient shall 

be the sum of the amounts authorized for the individual entitlement 

grantees, as described in section 106 of the Act. The urban county shall 

be the grant recipient.

    (c) Effect of inclusion. Upon urban county qualification and HUD 

approval of the joint request and cooperation agreement, the 

metropolitan city shall be considered a part of the urban county for 

purposes of program planning and implementation for the period of the 

urban county qualification, and shall be treated the same as any other 

unit of general local government which is part of the urban county.

    (d) Submission requirements. In requesting a grant under this part, 

the urban county shall make a single submission which meets the 

submission requirements of 24 CFR part 91 and covers all members of the 

joint recipient.
