In addition, if a state process recommendation for a nonselected program or activity is transmitted to TVA by the single point of contact, TVA follows the procedures of § 1311.10 of this part.\n(e) TVA considers comments which do not constitute a state process recommendation submitted under these regulations and for which TVA is not required to apply the procedures of § 1311.10 of this part, when such comments are provided by a single point of contact or directly to TVA by a state, areawide, regional, or local government.","path":["Title 18—Conservation of Power and Water Resources","CHAPTER XIII—TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY","PART 1311—INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVIEW OF TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DIRECT FEDERAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-18.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:34Z","sha256":"60f37a3effcb4e4546b43d25c5a24e061295d9f6c21ac288b367a4589007cc79","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/18-cfr-1311.8","next":"us/18-cfr-1311.10"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
