(a) The Department will approve a grantee's planning documents
prior to the date on which funds for the program become available
unless:
(1) The planning documents do not contain the information specified
in these regulations; or
(2) The services which the INA grantee proposes are not permitted
under WIA or applicable regulations.
(b) The Department may approve a portion of the plan, and
disapprove other portions. The grantee also has the right to appeal the
Department's decision to the Office of the Administrative Law Judges
under the procedures at 20 CFR 667.800 or 667.840. While the INA
grantee exercises its right to appeal, the grantee must implement the
approved portions of the plan.
(c) If the Department disapproves all or part of an INA grantee's
plan, and that disapproval is sustained in the appeal process, the INA
grantee will be given the opportunity to amend its plan so that it can
be approved.
(d) If an INA grantee's plan is amended but is still disapproved,
the grantee will have the right to appeal the Department's decision to
the Offices of the Administrative Law Judges under the procedures at 20
CFR 667.800 or 667.840.
