Sec.  407.45  Termination of State buy-in agreements.

    (a) Termination by the State--(1) Termination after advance notice. 
A State may terminate its buy-in agreement after giving CMS 3 months, 
advance notice.
    (2) Termination without advance notice. A State may terminate its 
buy-in agreement without advance notice if--
    (i) The State gives CMS written certification to the effect that it 
is no longer legally able to comply with one or more of the provisions 
of the agreement; and
    (ii) Submits a supporting opinion from the appropriate State legal 
officer, if CMS requests such an opinion.
    (b) Termination by CMS. If CMS, after giving the State notice and 
opportunity for hearing, finds that the State has failed to comply 
substantially with one or more of the provisions of the agreement, other 
than the requirement for timely payment of premiums, CMS will give the 
State written notice to the effect that the agreement will terminate on 
the date indicated in the notice unless, before that date, CMS finds 
that there is no longer that failure to comply. (Rules for collection of 
overdue premiums, including assessment of interest and offset against 
FFP due the State, are those set forth in the Notice published on 
September 30, 1985 at 50 FR 39784.)
