Under EDGAR, the grantee is authorized to make a one-time extension of
up to 12 months unless the terms and conditions of the award prohibit
the extension.  For a one-time extension, a notification in writing with
supporting reasons and revised expiration date must be provided to DOEd
at least 10 days before the expiration date of the award.  I have,
however, had a few DOEd grants where the Education Program Contact has
made the grant extremely restrictive, even though the additional
restrictions were not included in the Grant Award Notification.

EDGAR references expanded authorities and Upward Bound is under
EDGAR.  Isn't it the university's call to give a one time no cost
extension
for up to 12 months without agency prior approval?

I was told I needed to send them a letter requesting the approval and
the
reason for the extension.  The reasons given by the PI were to finish
up
some specific project activities AND close out the project.

I am being told by the agency rep that they will only give "approval"
for a
one month NCE and that "close out" activities are not eligible for a
NCE.

Can anyone with expertise on expanded authorities or Upward Bound help
us
out here?
