Questions and Answers Questions received to PPDED@usda.gov through May 10, 2024
Week ending May 10
1. Should the Detailed Budget and Budget Narrative for the proposed extension focus solely on the extension period, or do these documents also need to include data from the current period of performance, including both completed and remaining months/years?
Answer: The detailed budget and budget narrative for the proposed extension should summarize spending to-date or estimate spending through FY24.

2. Could you please confirm if an independent third-party post-monetization assessment is required for the monetization of donated commodities in the awarded extensions, as described in the Food for Progress Monetization Handbook (March 16, 2023)?
Answer: An independent third-party post-monetization assessment is not required for the monetization of donated commodities in the awarded extension, unless a Post Monetization
Assessment (PMA) was not previously completed.
3. Given the length of our current agreement budget narrative exceeds the 20 page limit, can implementers submit only a budget narrative that addresses the extension period?
