# §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.
