Sec. 570.308  Joint requests.

    (a) Joint requests and cooperation agreements. (1) Any urban county 
and any metropolitan city located, in whole or in part, within that 
county may submit a joint request to HUD to approve the inclusion of the 
metropolitan city as a part of the urban county for purposes of planning 
and implementing a joint community development and housing program. Such 
a joint request shall only be considered if submitted at the time the 
county is seeking a three year qualification or requalification as an 
urban county. Such a joint request shall, upon approval by HUD, remain 
effective for the period for which the county is qualified as an urban 
county. An urban county may be joined by more than one metropolitan 
city, but a metropolitan city located in more than one urban county may 
only be included in one urban county for any program year. A joint 
request shall be deemed approved by HUD unless HUD notifies the city and 
the county of its disapproval and the reasons therefore within 30 days 
of receipt of the request by HUD.
    (2) Each metropolitan city and urban county submitting a joint 
request shall submit an executed cooperation agreement to undertake or 
to assist in the undertaking of essential community development and 
housing assistance activities, as defined in Sec. 570.307(c).
    (b) Joint grant amount. The grant amount for a joint recipient shall 
be the sum of the amounts authorized for the individual entitlement 
grantees, as

described in section 106 of the Act. The urban county shall be the grant 
recipient.
    (c) Effect of inclusion. Upon urban county qualification and HUD 
approval of the joint request and cooperation agreement, the 
metropolitan city shall be considered a part of the urban county for 
purposes of program planning and implementation for the period of the 
urban county qualification, and shall be treated the same as any other 
unit of general local government which is part of the urban county.
    (d) Submission requirements. In requesting a grant under this part, 
the urban county shall make a single submission which meets the 
submission requirements of 24 CFR part 91 and covers all members of the 
joint recipient.
