                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
                   CHAPTER 80--PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYMENT
 
                 SUBCHAPTER II--ANTIRECESSION PROVISIONS
 
Sec. 6725. Statement of assurances as prerequisite for payments; 
        rules governing time and manner of filing; contents of statement
        
    Each State and unit of local government may receive payments under 
this subchapter only upon filing with the Secretary, at such time and in 
such manner as the Secretary prescribes by rule, a statement of 
assurances. Such rules shall be prescribed by the Secretary not later 
than ninety days after July 22, 1976. The Secretary may not require any 
State or local government to file more than one such statement during 
each fiscal year. Each such statement shall contain--
        (1) an assurance that payments made under this subchapter to the 
    State or local government will be used for the maintenance, to the 
    extent practical, of levels of public employment and of basic 
    services customarily provided to persons in that State or in the 
    area under the jurisdiction of that unit of local government which 
    is consistent with the provisions of section 6724 of this title;
        (2) an assurance that the State or unit of local government 
    will--
            (A) use fiscal, accounting, and audit procedures which 
        conform to guidelines established therefor by the Secretary 
        (after consultation with the Comptroller General of the United 
        States), and
            (B) provide to the Secretary (and to the Comptroller General 
        of the United States), on reasonable notice, access to, and the 
        right to examine, such books, documents, papers, or records as 
        the Secretary may reasonably require for purposes of reviewing 
        compliance with this subchapter;

        (3) an assurance that reasonable reports will be furnished to 
    the Secretary in such form and containing such information as the 
    Secretary may reasonably require to carry out the purposes of this 
    subchapter and that such report shall be published in a newspaper of 
    general circulation in the jurisdiction of such government unless 
    the cost of such publication is excessive in relation to the amount 
    of the payments received by such government under this subchapter or 
    other means of publicizing such report is more appropriate, in which 
    case such report shall be publicized pursuant to rules prescribed by 
    the Secretary;
        (4) an assurance that the requirements of section 6727 of this 
    title will be complied with;
        (5) an assurance that the requirements of section 6728 of this 
    title will be complied with;
        (6) an assurance that the requirements of section 6729 of this 
    title will be complied with;
        (7) an assurance that the State or unit of local government will 
    spend any payment it receives under this subchapter before the end 
    of the six-calendar-month period which begins on the day after the 
    date on which such State or local government receives such payment; 
    and
        (8) an assurance that the State or unit of local government will 
    spend amounts received under this subchapter only in accordance with 
    the laws and procedures applicable to the expenditure of its own 
    revenues.
