1200.31—Extension of the right to incur costs.

Upon written request by the State, specifying the reasons therefor, the Approving Official may extend the right to incur costs for some portion of the State highway safety program by a maximum of 90 days. The approval of any such request for extension shall be in writing, shall specify the new expiration date, and shall be signed by the Approving Official. If an extension is granted, the State and its subgrantees and contractors may continue to incur costs in accordance with the Highway Safety Plan until the new expiration date, and the due dates for other submissions covered by this subpart shall be based upon the new expiration date. However, in no case shall any extension be deemed to authorize the obligation of additional Federal funds beyond those already obligated to the State, nor shall any extension be deemed to extend the due date for submission of the Annual Report. Only one extension shall be allowed during each fiscal year.
