a nongovernmental entity that equals or exceeds 10 percent of the total
amount of the award to the State or Federal recipient only if certain
notice requirements are met. Specifically, at least 30 days before the
State or Federal award recipient enters into such an agreement, the
Council must publish in the Federal Register and deliver to specified
Congressional committees the name of the recipient and subrecipient; a
