Sec.  457.150  CMS review of State plan material.



    (a) Basis for action. CMS reviews each State plan and plan amendment 

to determine whether it meets or continues to meet the requirements for 

approval under relevant Federal statutes, regulations, and guidelines 

furnished by CMS to assist in the interpretation of these regulations.

    (b) Action on complete plan. CMS approves or disapproves the State 

plan or plan amendment only in its entirety.

    (c) Authority. The CMS Administrator exercises delegated authority 

to review and then to approve or disapprove the State plan or plan 

amendment, or to determine that previously approved material no longer 

meets the requirements for approval. The Administrator does not make a 

final determination of disapproval without first consulting the 

Secretary.

    (d) Initial submission. The Administrator designates an official to 

receive the initial submission of State plans.

    (e) Review process. (1) The Administrator designates an individual 

to coordinate CMS's review for each State that submits a State plan.

    (2) CMS notifies the State of the identity of the designated 

individual in the first correspondence relating to that plan, and at any 

time there is a change in the designated individual.

    (3) In the temporary absence of the designated individual during 

regular business hours, an alternate individual will act in place of the 

designated individual.
