Sec.  1321.43  Interstate planning and service area.



    (a) Before requesting permission of the Commissioner to designate an 

interstate planning and service area, the Governor of each State shall 

execute a written agreement that specifies the State agency proposed to 

have lead responsibility for administering the programs within the 

interstate planning and service area and lists the conditions, agreed 

upon by each State, governing the administration of the interstate 

planning and service area.

    (b) The lead State shall request permission of the Commissioner to 

designate an interstate planning and service area.

    (c) The lead State shall submit the request together with a copy of 

the agreement as part of its State plan or as an amendment to its State 

plan.

    (d) Prior to the Commissioner's approval for States to designate an 

interstate planning and service area, the Commissioner shall determine 

that all applicable requirements and procedures in Sec.  1321.29 and 

Sec.  1321.33 of this part, shall be met.

    (e) If the request is approved, the Commissioner, based on the 

agreement between the States, increases the allotment of the State with 

lead responsibility for administering the programs within the interstate 

area and reduces the allotment(s) of the State(s) without lead 

responsibility by one of these methods:

    (1) Reallotment of funds in proportion to the number of individuals 

age 60 and over for that portion of the interstate planning and service 

area located in the State without lead responsibility; or

    (2) Reallotment of funds based on the intrastate funding formula of 

the State(s) without lead responsibility.
