Section 13. That portion of an appropriation for ordinary maintenance representing encumbrances outstanding on the records of the comptroller’s office at the close of the fiscal year may be applied to the payment thereof in the two months immediately succeeding such fiscal year; provided, however, that the state budget director at the written request of the spending agency may, prior to the close of said two months, extend for 15 additional days the recorded encumbrances outstanding and the funds reserved therefor, by furnishing the comptroller with a copy of such request and the approval thereof.

The unencumbered balance of an appropriation for ordinary maintenance mentioned in this section shall revert to the commonwealth at the end of each month.
