7 Pa. Code § 138h.11 - Verification of use
(a)
Verification. Within 3 months of the time period specified in
the grant agreement, or the completion of the project, whichever is earlier,
the grant recipient shall submit to the Department written receipts accounting
for the project costs. If the total of the written receipts demonstrates that
some portion of the grant amount was not spent, the grant recipient shall also
submit payment in the full amount of this unspent sum to the Department. The
repayment shall be credited to the Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase
Fund, and may be used to fund this Grant Program. The Department may also
require that additional documentation be submitted by the grant recipient to
document the expenditure of grant funds.
(b)
Extension of time. The
3-month period described in subsection (a) may only be extended by the written
permission of the Secretary. An extension will be for a specific period of
time.
(c)
Failure to verify
use. If required receipts or documentation are not submitted to the
Department as described in subsections (a) and (b), or if the grant funds or a
portion thereof are unaccounted for, the Secretary may demand, in writing, the
return by the grant recipient of the entire grant sum or a lesser amount, plus
appropriate legal interest as prescribed in section 202 of the act of January
30, 1974 (P. L. 13, No. 6) (41 P. S. §
202). The grant recipient shall repay a sum
of grant funds and interest demanded by the Department within 60 days of the
mailing of the written demand. The repayment shall be credited to the
Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase Fund, and may be used to fund this
Grant Program.
