# §1487.4. Limits on the scope of proposals.

- (a) **Funding cap.** Proposals that request more than $500,000 of CCC funding in a given year will not be considered.
- (b) **Length of activities.** Awards will generally be granted for a project period not exceeding five calendar years. However, FAS will entertain requests to extend agreements beyond five years when valid justifications are submitted. Participants must submit in writing a valid justification for why an extension is necessary no later than 60 days before the end of the period of performance. Extensions generally will be granted in one-year increments, if warranted. A Participant must wait for written approval from FAS before proceeding with the project.
- (c) **Target countries.** Proposals may target barriers in any eligible export market, including single countries or reasonable regional groupings of countries.
- (d) **Multiple proposals.** Applicants may submit multiple proposals, but no Participant may have more than five approved projects underway at any given time.
- (e) **Program funds only for specific uses.** Participants shall not use program funds to supplement the costs of normal day-to-day operations or to promote their own products or services beyond specific uses approved in a given project.
