Section A. Approved budget. The approved budget of this

and we approved (either at the time of the initial award or a more
recent amendment), to summarize planned expenditures for project or
program purposes.
2. Includes all Federal funding that we make available to you
under this award to use for project or program purposes and any
cost sharing or matching that you are required to provide under
this award for those same purposes.
Section B. Revisions requiring prior approval.
1. Non-construction activities. You must request prior
approval from us for any of the following program or budget
revisions in non-construction activities:
a. A change in the scope or objective of the project or program
under this award, even if there is no associated budget revision
that requires our prior approval.
b. A change in a key person identified in the award cover

accordance with the applicable cost principles, as identified in
FMS Article III.
e. The transfer to other categories of expense of funds included
in the approved budget for participant support costs, as defined at
2 CFR 200.75.
f. A subaward to another entity under which it will perform a
portion of the substantive project or program under the award, if
it was not included in the approved budget. This does not apply to
your contracts for acquisition of supplies, equipment, or general
support services you need to carry out the project or program.
g. Any change in the cost sharing or matching you provide under
the award, as included in the approved budget, for which FMS
Article VI requires prior approval.

project or program.
2. Construction activities. You must request prior
approval from us for any of the following program or budget

without requesting prior approval from us, to:
1. Charge to this award after you receive it pre-award costs
that you incurred, at your own risk, up to 90 calendar days before
the start date of the period of performance, as long as they are
costs that would be allowable charges to the project or program
under the terms and conditions of FMS Article III if they were
incurred during the period of performance.
2. Carry forward an unobligated balance to a subsequent period
of performance under this award.
3. Initiate a one-time extension of the period of performance by

revised end date of the period of performance at least 10 calendar
days before the current end date.

funding.
c. The extension does not involve any change in the scope or
objectives of the project or program.

receipt of your request, we will respond to you in writing to
either:

b. Inform you that we still are considering the request, in
which case we will let you know when you may expect our
decision.
