This chapter describes the Maryland Intergovernmental Review and Coordination Process, the State process for collecting and transmitting the views of State, regional, and local officials in Maryland on specific applications for federal and State financial assistance, for direct federal development, and for certain planning and other activities requiring intergovernmental coordination. These procedural regulations are intended to secure the benefits of intergovernmental cooperation by providing a sure and simple means for learning about and commenting on specific federal and State applications. They are not intended and may not be construed to abridge the statutory authority of approving authorities, or to create any right or benefit enforceable at law, in equity, or otherwise by any party against the Department, other State or local agencies, or their officials.
