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.
