Sec. 316.19  Project administration by District organization.

    When an Economic Development District is not a recipient or co-
recipient of an award for a project involving construction, the District 
organization may administer the project for such recipient if the 
following conditions are met, as determined by EDA:
    (a) The recipient has requested (either in the application or by 
separate written request) that the district organization for the area in 
which the project is located perform the project administration;
    (b) The recipient certifies and EDA finds that:
    (1) Administration of the project is beyond the capacity of the 
recipient's current staff to perform and would require hiring additional 
staff or contracting for such services,
    (2) No local organization/business exists that would be able to 
administer the project in a more efficient or cost-effective manner than 
the staff of the district, and
    (3) The staff of the district would administer the project 
themselves, without subcontracting the work out;
    (c) EDA approves the request either by approving the application in 
which the request is made, or by separate specific written approval; and
    (d) The allowable costs for the administration of the project by the 
district organization staff will not exceed the customary and reasonable 
amount that would be allowable if the district were the recipient.
