If a State does not have an approved State implementation plan in effect with respect to a year under section 205, the Commission shall administer the Democracy Dollars Program during the year with respect to individuals who are residents of the State, in accordance with a Federal implementation plan for the State that meets the requirements of subsection (b). If a State does not have an approved State implementation plan in effect because, in accordance with subsection
(d)of section 205, the Commission revoked its approval of a State implementation plan on the grounds that the State administered the plan in a biased or incompetent manner, the Commission may file an action to appoint a receiver to administer the Democracy Dollars Program in the State. In any action brought by the Commission to appoint a receiver under this subsection, the following rules shall apply: The action shall be filed in the appropriate district court of the United States and shall be heard by a 3-judge court convened pursuant to section 2284 of title 28, United States Code. A final decision in the action shall be reviewable only by appeal directly to the Supreme Court of the United States. Such appeal shall be taken by the filing of a notice of appeal within 10 days, and the filing of a jurisdictional statement within 30 days, of the entry of the final decision. It shall be the duty of the appropriate district court of the United States and the Supreme Court of the United States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest extent possible the disposition of the action and the appeal. A Federal implementation plan for a State meets the requirements of this subsection if— the plan meets the conditions described in paragraphs
(1)and
(2)of section 205(b) which would apply to a State implementation plan of the State under such section; to the extent that the Commission requests information and assistance from the State in order to carry out the plan, the plan provides for a method by which the Commission may reimburse the State for the costs incurred in providing such information and assistance; and the plan meets such other requirements as the Commission may require.
