(a) Review of projects by areawide agency or local government

    All applications made after June 30, 1967, for Federal loans or 
grants to assist in carrying out open-space land projects or for the 
planning or construction of hospitals, airports, libraries, water supply 
and distribution facilities, sewerage facilities and waste treatment 
works, highways, transportation facilities, law enforcement facilities, 
and water development and land conservation projects within any 
metropolitan area shall be submitted for review--
        (1) to any areawide agency which is designated to perform 
    metropolitan or regional planning for the area within which the 
    assistance is to be used, and which is, to the greatest practicable 
    extent, composed of or responsible to the elected officials of a 
    unit of areawide government or of the units of general local 
    government within whose jurisdiction such agency is authorized to 
    engage in such planning, and
        (2) if made by a special purpose unit of local government, to 
    the unit or units of general local government with authority to 
    operate in the area within which the project is to be located.

(b) Comments and recommendations by areawide agency and local government

    (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, each 
application shall be accompanied (A) by the comments and recommendations 
with respect to the project involved by the areawide agency and 
governing bodies of the units of general local government to which the 
application has been submitted for review, and (B) by a statement by the 
applicant that such comments and recommendations have been considered 
prior to formal submission of the application. Such comments shall 
include information concerning the extent to which the project is 
consistent with comprehensive planning developed or in the process of 
development for the metropolitan area or the unit of general local 
government, as the case may be, and the extent to which such project 
contributes to the fulfillment of such planning. The comments and 
recommendations and the statement referred to in this paragraph shall, 
except in the case referred to in paragraph (2) of this subsection, be 
reviewed by the agency of the Federal Government to which such 
application is submitted for the sole purpose of assisting it in 
determining whether the application is in accordance with the provisions 
of Federal law which govern the making of the loans or grants.
    (2) An application for a Federal loan or grant need not be 
accompanied by the comments and recommendations and the statements 
referred to in paragraph (1) of this subsection, if the applicant 
certifies that a plan or description of the project, meeting the 
requirements of such rules and regulations as may be prescribed under 
subsection (c) of this section, or such application, has lain before an 
appropriate areawide agency or instrumentality or unit of general local 
government for a period of sixty days without comments or 
recommendations thereon being made by such agency or instrumentality.
    (3) The requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2) shall also apply to 
any amendment of the application which, in light of the purposes of this 
subchapter, involves a major change in the project covered by the 
application prior to such amendment.

(c) Rules and regulations

    The Office of Management and Budget, or such other agency as may be 
designated by the President, is hereby authorized to prescribe such 
rules and regulations as are deemed appropriate for the effective 
administration of this section.
