(4) otherwise meets the requirements for assistance under this subtitle.
**(c) Affirmative Vote Requirement Deemed Met.—** After the appropriate state development plan and strategy statement are approved, certification by a state member, when joined by an affirmative vote of the Federal Cochairman, is deemed to satisfy the requirements for affirmative votes for decisions under [section 14302(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title40-section14302/a&num=0&edition=prelim).
