Sec.  400.57  Planning and consultation process.



    A State that wishes to establish a public/private RCA program must 

engage in a planning and consultation process with the local agencies 

that resettle refugees in the State to develop a public/private RCA plan 

in accordance with the requirements under Sec.  400.58.

    (a) Primary participants in the planning process must include 

representatives of the State and each local agency that resettles 

refugees in the State. During the planning process, the State must fully 

consult with representatives of counties, refugee mutual assistance 

associations (MAAs), local community services agencies, national 

voluntary agencies that resettle refugees in the State, representatives 

of each refugee ethnic group, and other agencies that serve refugees.

    (b) Each local resettlement agency that resettles refugees in the 

State must inform its national resettlement agency of the proposed 

public/private RCA program and must obtain a letter of agreement from 

the national agency that indicates that the national agency supports the 

public/private RCA plan and will continue to place refugees in the State 

under the public/private RCA program.
