Department by the State agency, any special reports of performance
submitted to the Department by the State agency, any benefit payment
performance plan applicable to the period being reviewed, any study or
anylysis of performance relevant to the period being reviewed, and any
other audit, study, or analysis as directed by the Department of Labor.
(b) Periodic review. The administration of any State law may be
reviewed at any other time, when there is reason to believe that there
may be failure of compliance as set out in Secs. 640.2(b) and 640.3(b).
Such a review shall be based upon the same elements as may be required
for an annual review.
