Sec.  305.5  Project administration by District Organization.


    (a) When a District Organization is not the Recipient or co-
Recipient of Investment Assistance, the District Organization may 
administer the Project for the Recipient if EDA determines fulfillment 
of the following conditions:
    (1) The Recipient has requested (either in the application or by 
separate written request) that the District Organization for the Region 
in which the Project is located administer the Project;
    (2) The Recipient certifies and EDA finds that:
    (i) Administration of the Project is beyond the capacity of the 
Recipient's current staff and would require hiring additional staff or 
contracting for such services;
    (ii) No local organization or business exists that could administer 
the Project in a more efficient or cost-effective manner than the staff 
of the District Organization; and
    (iii) The staff of the District Organization would administer the 
Project without sub-contracting the work; and
    (3) The allowable costs for the administration of the Project by the 
District Organization's staff will not exceed the amount that would be 
allowable to the Recipient.
    (b) EDA must approve the request either by approving the application 
in which the request is made or by separate specific written approval.
