- (a)Requests for revisions. The cooperative agreement may not be unilaterally amended, modified, or revised by the recipient organization. Rather, a recipient organization must submit a written request to AA/SBDC along with a copy to the appropriate District Office when it wants to make one or more revisions to the cooperative agreement. Written approval from the AA/SBDC is required prior to the implementation of a proposed revision. Revisions that require amendment of the cooperative agreement include:
- (1)Any change in project scope or objectives that will substantially change outcomes described in the cooperative agreement;
- (2)Budget revisions exceeding the limit established in the cooperative agreement; and
- (3)Any proposed sole-source or one-bid contracts exceeding the limits established by applicable administrative regulations or OMB.
- (b)Emergency authorizations.
- (1)In consultation with the Recognized Organization, the AA/SBDC may amend one or more cooperative agreements to authorize unanticipated out-of-state travel by SBDC personnel responding to a need for services in a presidentially or SBA Administrator declared major disaster area. Notification of this type of authorization will be accomplished through the publication of an SBA Notice in the Federal Register.
- (2)Proposed and actual travel costs incurred under an emergency authorization must comply with the requirements of § 130.460(h), as well as the relevant notice of funding opportunity and OMB guidelines.
- (c)Supplemental funding. If supplemental funds are available for distribution, SBA will publish a notice of funding opportunity in consultation with the Recognized Organization.
