Sec. 6504. Use of existing State or multimember agency to
administer grant programs
Notwithstanding a law of the United States providing that one State
agency or multimember agency must be established or designated to carry
out or supervise the administration of a grant program, the head of the
executive agency carrying out the program may, when requested by the
executive or legislative authority of the State responsible for the
organizational structure of a State government--
(1) waive the one State agency or multimember agency provision
on an adequate showing that the provision prevents the establishment
of the most effective and efficient organizational arrangement
within the State government; and
(2) approve another State administrative structure or
arrangement after deciding that the objectives of the law
authorizing the grant program will not be endangered by using
another State structure or arrangement.

In the section, the word ``agency'' is substituted for ``board or
commission'' for consistency in the revised title. Before clause (1),
the words ``executive agency'' are substituted for ``Federal department
or agency'' because of the definition in sections 102 and 6501(3) of the
revised title. The words ``appropriate'' and ``determining or revising''
are omitted as surplus. The words ``Governor or other'' are omitted as
covered by ``executive . . . authority''. In clause (2), the words
``after deciding'' are substituted for ``Provided, That the head of the
Federal department or agency determines'' to eliminate unnecessary
words.
