Sec. 6868. Approval of application or amendment for financial 
        assistance; administrative procedures applicable
        
    (a) The Secretary shall not finally disapprove any application 
submitted under this part, or any amendment thereto, without first 
affording the State (or unit of general purpose local government or 
community action agency under section 6863(c) of this title, as 
appropriate) in question, as well as other interested parties, 
reasonable notice and an opportunity for a public hearing. The Secretary 
may consolidate into a single hearing the consideration of more than one 
such application for a particular fiscal year to carry out projects 
within a particular State. Whenever the Secretary, after reasonable 
notice and an opportunity for a public hearing, finds that there is a 
failure to comply substantially with the provisions of this part or 
regulations promulgated under this part, he shall notify the agency or 
institution involved and other interested parties that such State (or 
unit of general purpose local government or agency, as appropriate) will 
no longer be eligible to participate in the program under this part 
until the Secretary is satisfied that there is no longer any such 
failure to comply.
    (b) Reasonable notice under this section shall include a written 
notice of intention to act adversely (including a statement of the 
reasons therefor) and a reasonable period of time within which to submit 
corrective amendments to the application, or to propose corrective 
action.
