States must send the Secretary their trauma care plan, including fixes for problems, to keep getting funds. If the plan is not done, the State can submit an interim version instead. States must also report yearly injury data and list rural areas that lack 911, basic, or advanced life support.

(a) In general Each year, the Secretary can pay a State under section 300d–11(a) only if the State sends in the trauma care part of its emergency medical services plan. This includes any changes to that plan and any plans to fix problems in it. (b) Interim plan or description of efforts If a State has not finished its trauma care plan for a given year, it may send an unfinished version instead, or just describe what it has done so far to complete it. (c) Information from the State's reporting system The Secretary can pay a State only if the State agrees to send the Secretary, at least once a year, the data it collected under section 300d–13(a)(7). (d) Emergency medical services in rural areas The Secretary can pay a State only if the State: (1) identifies any rural area that has no 911 access to emergency medical services, no basic life-support system, or no advanced life-support system; and (2) sends the Secretary a list of those areas, or a statement that there are none.
