Sec. 307.11  Award and grant rate requirements.

    (a) EDA will provide assistance for the period of time required to 
complete the project scope of work. Normally, this does not exceed 
twelve months.
    (b) If the project is regional or national in scope, EDA may 
determine that the requirement that public or private nonprofit 
organizations must act in cooperation with officials of a political 
subdivision of a State is satisfied by the nature of the project;
    (c) Grant rate:
    (1) The maximum Federal grant rate for a project under this subpart 
is:
    (i) 50 percent, except as supplemented as provided in Sec. 301.4(b); 
or
    (ii) Up to and including 100 percent, if the project is not feasible 
without, and merits, a reduction or waiver of the non-Federal share 
required under the rate provided in Sec. 301.4(b) of this chapter.
    (2) A project is eligible for a supplemental grant increasing the 
Federal share up to and including 100 percent when the applicant is able 
to demonstrate that:
    (i) The project is addressing major causes of distress in the area 
serviced and requires the unique characteristics of the applicant, which 
will not participate in the program if it must provide all or part of a 
50 percent non-Federal share; or
    (ii) The project is for the benefit of local, State, regional, or 
national economic development efforts, and will be of no or only 
incidental benefit to the recipient.
