Sec. 455.120  Grant applications for State administrative expenses.


    Each State desiring to receive grants to help defray State 
administrative expenses shall file an application in accordance with the 
provisions of this section.
    (a) Where a State is operating a program solely to provide grants to 
schools and hospitals, the maximum amount of administrative expenses the 
State may apply for is $50,000 or 5 percent of the Federal share of its 
schools and hospitals grant awards, whichever is greater.
    (1) At any time after notice by DOE of the amounts allocated to each 
State for a grant program cycle, each State may apply to DOE for an 
amount for administrative expenses not exceeding $50,000.
    (2) After making a submittal to DOE as required under Sec. 455.133, 
each State may apply for a further grant not exceeding 5 percent of the 
total Federal share of all grant awards for technical assistance and 
energy conservation measures within the State, less the $50,000 provided 
for in paragraph (a)(l) of this section if that was previously awarded 
to the State for administrative expenses in the same grant program 
cycle.
    (b) Where a State is eligible and elects to apply to use its 
appropriated allocation for grants for technical assistance, program 
assistance, and/or marketing pursuant to Sec. 455.121, the maximum 
amount of administrative expenses the State may apply for is $50,000 or 
5 percent of the total amount obligated or legally committed to eligible 
recipients in the State pursuant to the State's program under this part, 
whichever is greater.
    (1) At any time after notice by DOE of amounts allocated to each 
State for a grant program cycle, each State may apply to DOE for an 
amount for administrative expenses not exceeding $50,000.
    (2) Once the total amount obligated or legally committed to the 
program in

the cycle is known, a State may subsequently apply for a further grant, 
not exceeding 5 percent of the total amount (less the $50,000 provided 
for in paragraph (b)(1) of this section if that was previously awarded 
to the State for administrative expenses in the same fiscal year) 
obligated or legally committed to eligible recipients in the State 
during the fiscal year for technical assistance, program assistance, and 
marketing, and for energy conservation measures which are funded with 
non-Federal funds but which meet the certification and other 
requirements of this part for such energy conservation measures.
    (3) The aggregate amount applied for to cover State administrative 
expenses, technical assistance, program assistance, and marketing cannot 
exceed the State's allocation for the fiscal year.
    (c) In the event that a State cannot, or decides not to use the 
amount available to it for an administrative grant under this section 
for administrative purposes, these funds may, at the discretion of the 
State, be used for technical assistance and energy conservation measure 
grants to eligible institutions within that State in accordance with 
this part.
    (d) Applications for financial assistance to defray State 
administrative expenses shall include:
    (1) The name and address of the person designated by the State to be 
responsible for the State's functions under this part;
    (2) An identification of intended use of all Federal and non-Federal 
funds to be used for the State administrative expenses listed in 
Sec. 455.82; and
    (3) Any other information required by DOE.
