Moreover, by using the term ``waive'' in section 2323, the Senate is attempting to prohibit Federal officials from using their waiver authority under certain means-tested programs--such as those afforded to agencies in relation to demonstration projects--in a way that would result in noncompliance with PRWORA. This narrow prohibition on the use of waivers by Federal officials cannot be construed to prevent the continued implementation of an explicit, independent statutory right afforded to the states under ICHIA. The ICHIA option is not a waiver and remains available for States regardless of any action by an ``officer or employee of the Federal Government.''
