PART 79_INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVIEW OF DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PROGRAMS 

AND ACTIVITIES--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  79.12  How may a State simplify, consolidate, or substitute 

federally required State plans?



    (a) As used in this section:

    (1) Simplify means that a state may develop its own format, choose 

its own submission date, and select the planning period for a state 

plan.

    (2) Consolidate means that a state may meet statutory and regulatory 

requirements by combining two or more plans into one document and that 

the state can select the format, submission date, and planning period 

for the consolidated plan.

    (3) Substitute means that a state may use a plan or other document 

that it has developed for its own purposes to meet Federal requirements.

    (b) If not inconsistent with law, a state may decide to try to 

simplify, consolidate, or substitute federally required state plans 

without prior approval by the Secretary.

    (c) The Secretary reviews each state plan that a state has 

simplified, consolidated, or substituted and accepts the plan only if 

its contents meet federal requirements.
