(1) Determine if the State’s process complies with 31 U.S.C. § 6907. If the Department determines that it does not, we must notify the designated State government office that the Department will disburse payment directly to the eligible local governments; and

(2) Start the payments:

(i) In the current Federal fiscal year, if the Department receives a copy of the State’s amendatory legislation before July 1; or
