(1) PHMSA expects the recipient to be fully aware that pre-award costs result in borrowing against future support and that such borrowing must not impair the recipient's ability to accomplish the activities in the approved period of performance.\n(2) A recipient may, at its own risk, incur pre-award costs to cover costs up to 90 days before the beginning date of the initial period of performance.\n(3) The incurrence of pre-award costs in anticipation of a competitive or non-competitive grant imposes no obligation on PHMSA under any circumstances, including in the event of:\n(i) The absence of appropriations;\n(ii) A grant is not subsequently being made; or\n(iii) A grant being made for a lesser amount than the recipient anticipated.\n(b) Payments may not be made for activities not approved in the grant agreement. If a recipient seeks additional grant funds, the supplemental amendment request will be evaluated on the basis of needs, performance, and availability of grant funds. An existing grant is not a commitment of future funding.","path":["Title 49—Transportation","Subtitle B—Other Regulations Relating to Transportation","CHAPTER I—PIPELINE AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","SUBCHAPTER A—HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND OIL TRANSPORTATION","PART 110—HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PUBLIC SECTOR TRAINING AND PLANNING GRANTS"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-49.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:34Z","sha256":"fd79d0e5e07514f129dc21c2b92d92d77757f7ce1f50883f0e58f0c6fc2b9609","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/49-cfr-110.40","next":"us/49-cfr-110.60"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
