PSGP Program Appendix | 2023 Page G-18 PSGP Investment Modifications The purpose of the grant award is to implement projects pursuant to the authorities at 46 U.S.C. § 70107. Under extreme circumstances, a recipient may reallocate award funds from one project to another with prior written approval from FEMA, and in a manner consistent with 2 C.F.R. § 200.308 as long as it does not change the overall scope or objective of the award. Circumstances include, but are not limited to, an inability to complete the original project, disaster events perpetuating an immediate need to reprioritize funds, and changes in regulatory requirements. A recipient must explain the deviation from the original project, including why it is deviating from or scaling down the original project, and what specific circumstances that occurred after the time of its award that necessitate the reallocation request, in its reallocation request. The recipient must also identify how the reallocation request aligns with PSGP priorities and the recipient’s original application and the award’s scope of work. Due to legal limitations, reallocation requests that would change the scope of the overall project(s) are not permitted. FEMA will also coordinate such reallocation requests with the USCG COTP, and these requests must be verified and supported by the COTP as essential in addressing Port Area priorities. Please also see Section C.4 of this NOFO regarding cost share requirements, including the implications if the project costs are less than what was applied for.
