   1. (1) salaries, wages, and related costs of the sponsor's staff engaged in the planning and execution of the project, including general legal services, accounting and auditing relating to the sponsor's operations, and financial packaging;
   2. (2) travel costs and other general overhead costs which are attributable to the project;
   3. (3) expenses for sponsor's administrative services performed and paid for under third-party contracts.
2. (b) Administrative expenses do not include those legal, architectural, engineering, or financial fees which are directly related to the planning and execution of the project and which are incurred by the sponsor through third-party contracts eligible for funding pursuant to section 7674(b)(8).
3. (c) Sponsors seeking program funds for administrative expenses shall include in their application a statement of administrative expenses incurred to date, and a budget for anticipated administrative expenses. The statement and budget shall include sufficient detail and explanation to permit the department to determine eligibility and reasonableness of the expenses. The department may include in the loan amount those administrative expenses shown in the statement and anticipated budget provided it determines that those expenses are reasonable and necessary considering the nature and scope of the project.
4. (d) The department shall not fund administrative expenses in excess of 10 percent of the approved loan amount unless the sponsor can demonstrate to the department's satisfaction that costs in excess of this limitation are the result of expenses such as those incurred for architectural, engineering, and legal services, which would otherwise qualify for funding as consultant services pursuant to section 7674 (b)(8).
