The submission covers the most recent year and must include a state certification that prior years met the asset-management requirements. - If a state is found noncompliant the Secretary would send a written list of required fixes and provide at least a 90-day cure period during which penalties and legal impacts are stayed. The state may request extensions and the stay continues during any approved extension. - Administration would operate a two-track rule where compliant states follow the four-year recertification cadence and noncompliant states remain in interim noncompliance until the Secretary determines they are back in compliance.
