What the document says
“A Federal agency described in paragraph (1) shall authorize a recipient of a Phase II SBIR or STTR award to utilize not more than $50,000 per project”
New subparagraph (B) of subsection (q)(3) sets the Phase II figure at no more than $50,000 per project. As with Phase I, it is included as part of the award or added to it as the head of the agency determines appropriate, and the services may come through a vendor the firm selects under paragraph (2)(A) or through the activities described in paragraph (2)(B).
What the document actually says
“A Federal agency described in paragraph (1) shall authorize a recipient of a Phase II SBIR or STTR award to utilize not more than $50,000 per project”
That sentence, in plain words
A firm in the second stage can use up to $50,000 for each project.
What this is about
The rest of the rule matches the first stage. The head of the agency picks where the money comes from. The firm picks how to spend it.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
