UNEMPLCYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES several States the amount apportioned to each State for the fiscal year for which the appropriation has been made. Sec. 7. Within sixty days after any appropriation has been made under the authority of this act, and as often thereafter while such appropriation remains available as he deems advisable, the director general shall ascertain as to each of the several States (1) whether the State has, through its legislature, accepted the provisions of this act and designated or authorized the creation of an agency to cooperate with the United States Employment Service in the administration of this act in compliance with the provisions of section 4 of this act; and (2) the amounts, if any, which have been appropriated by such State, including appropri- ations made by local subdivisions thereof, in compliance with the provisions of section 5 of this act. If the director general finds that a State has complied with the requirements of such sections, and if plans have been submitted and approved in compliance with the provisions of section 8 of this act, the director general shall determine the amount of the payments, if any, to which the State is entitled under the provisions of section 5, and certify such amount to the Secretary of the Treasury. Such certificate shall be sufficient authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to make payments to the State in accordance therewith. SEc. 8. Any State desiring to receive the benefits of this act shall, by the agency designated to cooperate with the United States Employment Service, submit to the director general detailed plans for carrying out the provisions of this act within such State. If such plans are in conformity with the provisions of this act and reasonably appropriate and adequate to carry out its purposes, they shall be approved by the director general and due notice of such approval shall be given to the State agency. Sec. 9. Each State agency cooperating with the United States Employment Service under this act shall make such reports concerning its operations and expenditures as shall be prescribed by the director general. It shall be the duty of the director general to ascertain whether the system of public employment offices maintained in each State is conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations and the standards of efficiency prescribed by the director general in accordance with the provisions of this act. The director general may revoke any existing certificates or withhold any further certificate provided for in section 7, whenever he shall determine, as to any State, that the cooperating State agency has not properly expended the moneys paid to it or the moneys herein required to be appropriated by such State, in accordance with plans approved under this act. Before any such certificate shall be revoked or withheld from any State, the director general shall give notice in writing to the State agency, stating specifically wherein the State has failed to comply with such plans. The State agency may appeal to the Secretary of Labor from the action of the director general in any such case and the Secretary of Labor may either affirm or reverse the action of the director general with such directions as he shall consider proper. Sec. 10. During the current fiscal year and the two succeeding fiscal years the director general is authorized to expend in any State so much of the sums appor- tioned to such State according to population, and so much of the unapportioned balance of the appropriation made under the provisions of section 5 as he may deem necessary, as follows: (a) In States where there is no State system of public employment offices, in establishing and maintaining a system of public employment offices under the control of the director general. (b) In States where there is a State system of public employment offices, but where the State has not complied with the provisions of section 4, in establishing a cooperative Federal and State system of public employment offices to be main- tained by such officer or board and in such manner as may be agreed upon by and between the governor of the State and the director general; except that pending the conclusion of such agreement, but for not more than one year, the director general may establish and maintain in any such State a system of public employ- ment offices under the control of the director general. Sec. 11. (a) The director general shall establish a Federal advisory council composed of an equal number of employers and employees for the purpose of formulating policies and discussing problems relating to unemployment, and insuring impartiality, neurtality, and freedom from political influence in solution of such problems. Members of such council shall be selected from time to time in such manner as the director general shall prescribe. The director general shall also require the organization of similar State advisory councils composed of equal numbers of employers and employees.
