Sec. 570.501  Responsibility for grant administration.

    (a) One or more public agencies, including existing local public 
agencies, may be designated by the chief executive officer of the 
recipient to undertake activities assisted by this part. A public agency 
so designated shall be subject to the same requirements as are 
applicable to subrecipients.
    (b) The recipient is responsible for ensuring that CDBG funds are 
used in accordance with all program requirements. The use of designated 
public agencies, subrecipients, or contractors

does not relieve the recipient of this responsibility. The recipient is 
also responsible for determining the adequacy of performance under 
subrecipient agreements and procurement contracts, and for taking 
appropriate action when performance problems arise, such as the actions 
described in Sec. 570.910. Where a unit of general local government is 
participating with, or as part of, an urban county, or as part of a 
metropolitan city, the recipient is responsible for applying to the unit 
of general local government the same requirements as are applicable to 
subrecipients, except that the five-year period identified under Sec. 
570.503(b)(8)(i) shall begin with the date that the unit of general 
local government is no longer considered by HUD to be a part of the 
metropolitan city or urban county, as applicable, instead of the date 
that the subrecipient agreement expires.
