			 that the Authority administers. The laws, rules, regulations and guidelines
			 incorporated by reference in this subsection do not include any subsequent
			 amendments or editions. The Authority shall maintain a copy of said
			 incorporated materials and shall make them available for public inspection or
			 copying upon request at no more than cost.
b) Notwithstanding subsection (c) below, the
			 Executive Director shall suspend performance of any interagency agreement for a
			 period not to exceed 28 days where there has been a determination of
			 nonconformance with any state or federal statute or regulation, such rules,
			 regulations and guidelines specified in subsection (a) above, or the terms or
			 conditions of the agreement. The Executive Director shall reinstate performance
			 of an agreement that has been so suspended if the nonconformance is corrected
			 within 28 days from the date of suspension. However, notwithstanding subsection
			 (c) below, an interagency agreement, for which performance has been suspended,
			 shall be terminated by the Executive Director if performance of the interagency
			 agreement is not reinstated within 28 days from its suspension. Written notice
			 of all such actions by the Executive Director shall be submitted to the
			 implementing agency and members of the Budget Committee as soon as possible,
			 but within five working days.
c)
			 Upon the request of an implementing agency, the Executive Director shall extend
			 the length of time performance of an interagency agreement may be suspended
			 beyond 28 days for an additional period not to exceed 14 days, if the
			 nonconformance for which performance of the agreement was suspended can be
			 corrected within such extension period and such correction would result in
			 fulfillment of the terms of the agreement. Such an extension shall be granted
			 by the Executive Director only with the consent of the chairman of the Budget
			 Committee or, in the event the chairman of the Budget Committee is unavailable
			 for consultation, the Chairman of the Authority. Such consent shall be granted
			 if the nonconformance for which performance of the agreement was suspended can
			 be corrected within such extension period and such correction would result in
			 fulfillment of the terms of the agreement. Since an extension granted by the
			 Executive Director pursuant to this subsection is initiated by the implementing
			 agency, it shall not be deemed an adverse action under these rules. However, an
			 interagency agreement, for which the period of suspended performance has been
			 extended pursuant to this subsection, shall be terminated by the Executive
			 Director if performance of the interagency agreement has not been reinstated by
			 the Executive Director before the extension period has expired. Such
			 termination may then be appealed as provided by Section
			 1520.60.
			 Written notice of all such actions by the Executive Director shall be submitted
			 to the implementing agency and members of the Budget Committee as soon as
			 possible, but within five working days.
d) The Executive Director shall immediately
			 terminate any interagency agreement for any reason of nonconformance specified
			 in subsection (b) above, if performance of the agreement has been suspended on
			 at least one prior occasion or if such nonconformance cannot be corrected by
			 the implementing agency in less than 28 days from the date of termination.
			 Written notice of such termination by the Executive Director shall be submitted
			 to the implementing agency and members of the Budget Committee as soon as
			 possible, but within five working days.
e) The Executive Director shall approve any
			 revision to an interagency agreement if such action is necessary to fulfill the
			 terms of the agreement. Material revisions shall be reported to the Budget
			 Committee members at or before the next Budget Committee meeting. However, if a
			 request by an implementing agency for a material revision to an interagency
			 agreement is denied by the Executive Director, written notice of such denial
			 shall be submitted to the implementing agency and members of the Budget
			 Committee as soon as possible, but within five working days.
