The Secretary may not review a State five-year plan unless its Governor certifies consistency with State policy. An annual technical-services program also requires seven specified certifications or safeguards.

The Secretary may not accept a State five-year plan for review unless the Governor or designee determines and certifies that it matches State policies and objectives. The Secretary may not accept an annual program unless the designated agency, as certified by the Governor or designee, (a) invited all qualified State institutions to propose services; (b) coordinated with other States and publicly supported State activities when appropriate; (c) barred officers and employees from outside compensation for funded services and conflicting private interests; (d) found matching State or other non-Federal funds available; (e) found the service was not economically and readily available from private providers in the State on certification; (f) planned no service specially for a firm, public work, or capital project unless generally important to community, State, or regional industry and commerce; and (g) provided for public reports or cost copies to anyone requesting them.
