Article 53 Prior Approval for Modification of Approved Budget pp pp 9 Before making any change to the FEMA approved budget for this award, a written request must be submitted and approved by FEMA as required by 2 C.F.R. §200.308. For purposes of non-construction projects, FEMA is using its discretion to impose an additional restriction under 2 C.F.R.§200.308(i) regarding the transfer of funds among direct cost categories, programs, functions, or activities. For awards with an approved budget where the federal share is greater than the simplified acquisition threshold (currently$350,000) and where the cumulative amount of such transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed 10%of the total budget FEMA last approved, transferring funds among direct cost categories, programs, functions, or activities is unallowable without prior written approval from FEMA. For purposes of awards that support both construction and non-construction work, 2 C.F.R.§200.308(f)(9) requires the recipient to obtain prior written approval from FEMA before making any fund or budget transfers between the two types of work.Any deviations from a FEMA approved budget must be reported in the first Federal Financial Report(SF- 425)that is submitted following any budget deviation, regardless of whether the budget deviation requires prior written approval.
