					 Statewide Recreation Plan and for the Department's administrative costs. The
					 remaining funds are divided on a 75/25 ratio between the regional and central
					 offices. The portion each regional office receives of the 75% is determined by
					 a formula based upon the following:
(i)
					 Fifty-two percent based on each region's percentage of the State's total
					 population.
(ii) Forty-eight
					 percent equally budgeted to each of the Department regional
					 offices.

Amendments
. Amendments to approved grant projects for time
					 extensions, minor scope or grant fund revisions, and the recouping of
					 administrative reimbursement are not subject to the Open Project Selection
					 Process (OPSP) review system. In those cases involving a major scope or grant
					 fund revision, or both, the amendment proposal will be evaluated by the central
					 office in accordance with the rating criteria to establish a new rating score.
					 The central office will be responsible for making a determination of whether an
					 amendment is minor or major in nature.
(1) An
					 amendment not involving a major grant fund increase will be submitted to the
					 National Park Service for approval, if the new rating score is equal to or
					 greater than the rating score of the lowest ranked project funded in the same
					 category-development/rehabilitation or acquisition-for the OPSP period of the
					 original evaluation and funding.
(2) An amendment involving a major grant fund
					 increase will be considered in one of the following manners:
(i) If funds are available for the requested
					 increase, the amendment will be submitted to NPS for approval if the new rating
					 score is equal to or greater than the rating score of the lowest ranked project
					 funded in the same category-development/rehabilitation or acquisition-for the
					 most recent OPSP period.
(ii) If
					 funds are not available for the requested increase, the proposal will be held
					 for rating and ranking under the next OPSP period.
