3. User Pays principals Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM)
ROM values are estimates – Not a firm price
Value of ROM can go up and down
User Pays-ness definition required at time of Modification submission
Cannot be added later if User Pays costs identified
Ensures that beneficiaries fund User Pays costs
Had this not been done, and incremental costs incurred, proposer would have been liable to pay, even though not the only beneficiary.
