SECTION 16.217. Extensions

(a) The director may approve a grant recipient's written request for a no cost time extension of the termination date of the grant agreement to permit the grant recipient additional time to complete the work of the grant project if the grant recipient is in good fiscal and programmatic standing.

(b) A written request for a no cost time extension must include:

(1) a timeline of events beginning on the date of grant award;

(2) a detailed explanation why the grant project is not expected to be completed within the grant term; and

(3) if applicable, supporting documentation demonstrating extenuating circumstances.

(c) The director may approve one or more no cost time extensions. The duration of each no cost time extension may be no longer than six months from the termination date of the grant agreement, unless the director finds that special circumstances justify authorizing additional time to complete the work of the grant project.

(d) Approval of a no cost time extension request must be supported by a finding of good cause and the grant agreement shall be amended to reflect the change.

(e) The director's decision to grant or deny a no cost time extension request is final and is not subject to appeal.
