Sec. 923.93  Eligible implementation costs.



    (a) Costs claimed must be beneficial and necessary to the objectives 

of the grant project. As used herein the terms cost and grant project

Circular A-87: Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal 

Governments.

be used for land acquisition purposes and may not be used for 

construction purposes. These costs may be eligible, however, pursuant to 

section 306A of the Act.

    (c) The primary purpose for which implementation funds, pursuant to 

section 306 of the Act, are to be used is to assure effective 

implementation and administration of the management program, including 

especially administrative actions to implement enforceable program 

policies, authorities and other management techniques. Implementation 

activities should focus on achieving the policies of the Act.

    (d) Section 306 funding in support of any of these purposes may be 

used to fund, among other things:

    (1) Personnel costs,

    (2) Supplies and overhead,

    (3) Equipment, and

    (4) Feasibility studies and preliminary engineering reports.

    (e) States are encouraged to coordinate administrative funding 

requests with funding possibilities pursuant to sections 306A, 308, 309, 

310 and 315 of the Act, as well as with funding possibilities pursuant 

to section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 

1990. When in doubt as to the appropriate section of the Act under which 

to request funding, States should consult with OCRM. States should 

consult with OCRM on technical aspects of consolidating requests into a 

single application.
