Introduction
|
|
|
The Office of State Budget (OSB) is responsible for conducting the State Clearinghouse responsibilities
for the South Carolina Project Notification and Review System (SCPNRS), in accordance with the
guidelines established in Presidential Executive Order 12372. The Order mandates federal policy
governing review and coordination with state and local government officials regarding any federal
government actions affecting their jurisdictions, including the awarding of federal grants. The Order
mandates that states, in consultation with their local governments, decide whether or not to participate
in an intergovernmental review process, design their own review system and identify which federal
programs will be reviewed.

General Requirements & Responsibilities

|
|
The purpose of the SCPNRS in implementing Executive Order 12372 is to ensure that all viewpoints,
both state and local, are taken into consideration in planning federal projects. Through the system, the
appropriate state and local officials are given the opportunity to review, comment, and be involved in
efforts to obtain and use federal assistance and to assess the relationship of project proposals to other
plans and programs. For South Carolina, the SCPNRS system was developed to coordinate with local
officials through the ten (10) regional councils of government (COG's).
The State Clearinghouse (SCH) is responsible for coordinating with all ten regional COG's as well as
coordinating statewide projects that impact more than one regional area. The SCH consults with state
agencies for the review and assessment of projects in order to ensure that all state policies and regulations
are being adhered to concerning any project that may be developed in South Carolina.
