24 C.F.R. § 570.427 Program amendments.
Title 24 - Housing and Urban Development
(a) HUD approval of certain program amendments. Grantees shall request prior HUD approval for all program amendments involving new activities or alteration of existing activities that will significantly change the scope, location, or objectives of the approved activities or beneficiaries. Approval is subject to the following: (1) Programs or projects that include new or significantly altered activities are rated in accordance with the criteria for selection applicable at the time the original preapplication or application (whichever is applicable) was rated. The rating of the program or projects proposed which include the new or altered activities proposed by the amendment must be equal to or greater than the lowest rating received by a funded project or program during that cycle of ratings. (2) Consideration shall be given to whether any new activity proposed can be completed promptly. (3) If the grant was received on a noncompetitive basis, the proposed amended project must be able to be completed promptly, and must meet all of the threshold requirements that were required for the original project. If the proposal is to amend the project to a type of project that was rated competitively in the fiscal year that the noncompetitive project was funded, the new or altered activities proposed by the amendment must receive a rating equal to or greater than the lowest rating received by a funded project or program during that cycle of ratings. (b) Documentation of program amendments. Any program amendments that do not require HUD approval must be fully documented in the grantee's records. (c) Citizen participation requirements. Whenever an amendment requires HUD approval, the requirements for citizen participation in §570.431 must be met.
