How to Manage a Planning Grant Award

The United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
established a circular entitled OMB Circular No. A-S? in an effort to
establish principles and standards for determining allowable costs. This
circular is located in Appendix 14 and should be reviewed carefully by
the local jurisdiction's financial officer and grant administrator. The
table below lists categories and examples of allowable and unallowable
costs under the FMA grant program. This list of categories and
examples that is shown in the table is not a complete list. NOTE: These
costs are allowable only to the extent that they do not exceed the limit
of grant funds by budget line item that the grant award imposes.
