§1354 Five-year Plan; Annual Technical Services Program

Summary

The designated agency must send the Secretary, under rules the Secretary publishes, a five-year plan that may be revised each year. The plan must describe the State’s technological and economic situation (including region, business, commerce, and industrial potential), name the main regional and industrial problems, explain general ways to solve them, say how to measure the help’s impact, and explain how the technical services program will be run and coordinated. The agency must also send an annual technical services program. It must list specific methods (which may include contracts) to reach the goals and show their likely effect on the five-year plan. It must include a detailed budget with fiscal controls, accounting, and auditing to protect funds, and must assign specific responsibilities to each participating institution in the State.
