(c) Notices of Participation or Waiver shall be transmitted by each county to the Office of Planning Advocacy no later than 45 days after the official release of the Preliminary State Development and Redevelopment Plan. Notice of that decision shall be provided in accordance with N.J.A.C. 15:30-1.7(d).

1. A Notice of Participation shall be a duly adopted resolution of the county governing body authorizing participation of the county in the cross-acceptance process.

(d) In the event that a county transmits a Notice of Waiver or fails to transmit a Notice of Participation within 45 days after the official date of release of the Preliminary State Development and Redevelopment Plan, the State Planning Commission shall, pursuant to 52:18A-202(b), designate an appropriate entity, or itself, to assume the responsibility of negotiating entity for cross-acceptance for each such county. The State Planning Commission shall designate an appropriate negotiating entity, or itself, to participate in cross-acceptance in the place of the non-participating county, after having first consulted with the county and the entity to be designated as the negotiating entity and having secured that entity's commitment to participate in the cross-acceptance process.
