Sec.  570.427  Program amendments.



    (a) HUD approval of certain program amendments. Grantees shall 

request prior HUD approval for all program amendments involving new 

activities or alteration of existing activities that will significantly 

change the scope, location, or objectives of the approved activities or 

beneficiaries. Approval is subject to the following:

    (1) Programs or projects that include new or significantly altered 

activities are rated in accordance with the criteria for selection 

applicable at the time the original preapplication or application 

(whichever is applicable) was rated. The rating of the program or 

projects proposed which include the new or altered activities proposed 

by the amendment must be equal to or greater than the lowest rating 

received by a funded project or program during that cycle of ratings.

    (2) Consideration shall be given to whether any new activity 

proposed can be completed promptly.

    (3) If the grant was received on a noncompetitive basis, the 

proposed amended project must be able to be completed promptly, and must 

meet all of the threshold requirements that were required for the 

original project. If the proposal is to amend the project to a type of 

project that was rated competitively in the fiscal year that the 

noncompetitive project was funded, the new or altered activities 

proposed by the amendment must receive a rating equal to or greater than 

the lowest rating received by a funded project or program during that 

cycle of ratings.

    (b) Documentation of program amendments. Any program amendments that 

do not require HUD approval must be fully documented in the grantee's 

records.

    (c) Citizen participation requirements. Whenever an amendment 

requires HUD approval, the requirements for citizen participation in 

Sec.  570.431 must be met.
