(ii) Involve transfer of amounts previously budgeted for training allowances (direct payments to trainees), or
(iii) Result in a need for the award of additional funds, e.g., an increase in the base upon which indirect costs are calculated which will increase allocable indirect costs and result in a claim for a supplementary award.
(2) Any or all of the prior approval requirements in paragraph (a) of this section may be waived by the awarding agency.
(3) Except as provided in § 3015.116 other budget changes under nonconstruction grants do not require approval.
