Sec. 305.21  Controlling budget.

    The tabulation of estimated project costs contained in the EDA grant 
award is the controlling budget for the project.
    (a) Budget line item revisions, including the addition of a new line 
item, which do not involve a change of scope may be approved by EDA if 
no new EDA funds are involved; another budget line item (preferably the 
contingency line item, although this is not mandatory) has funds which 
can be used without significantly adversely affecting the object of that 
line item; and unless the line item that is proposed to be supplemented 
is supplemented, the activity associated with that line item cannot be 
completed.
    (b) The recipient shall notify EDA of any proposed transfer of funds 
from one budget line item to another. The recipient's attention is 
called to the fact that the addition of a new line item to the approved 
budget may involve an impermissible change of scope and, therefore, may 
result in such costs being excluded from EDA's participation. 
Accordingly, the recipient is advised to discuss the need to add a new 
line item to the approved budget with EDA regional office staff before 
any costs are incurred under such new line item.
