disapproval in the case of any application which he disapproves. Any 
application not approved by the Secretary may be resubmitted by the 
applicant at any time in the same manner as the original application and 
the Secretary shall approve such resubmitted application as he 
determines to be in compliance with this section and the requirements of 
the State plan. Amendments of an application shall, except as the 
Secretary may otherwise provide be subject to approval in the same 
manner as the original application. All or any portions of an

application approved under this section, the Secretary shall notify the 
unit of local government or public care institution that further 
assistance will not be made available to such unit of local government 
or public care institution under this part until he is satisfied that 
there is no longer any failure to comply. Until he is so satisfied, no 
further assistance shall be made to such unit of local government or 
public care institution under this part.
