SUBJECT: Facilities and Administrative Cost Rates

Our current federally negotiated facilities and administrative (F&A) cost 
rates agreement expired on June 30, 2003.  Therefore, for project proposal 
budget purposes, effective July 1, 2003, we will operate under provisional 
forecasted F&A cost rates until our current F&A rate proposal is negotiated 
and finalized with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, our 
cognizant audit agency.

Attached is a document showing the F&A cost rates that should be used in 
the preparation of proposals for all new federal and non-federal research, 
instruction, and other sponsored projects.

In accordance with OMB Circular A-21, Section G, Determination and 
application of F&A cost rate or rates, effective July 1, 2003, the F&A cost 
rates applied to actual direct expenditures of federal and non-federal 
awards for reimbursement purposes will be those rates that were in effect 
for fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, as shown in the table below.  These 
rates will be used for reimbursement purposes until the new F&A costs rate 
agreement is executed.  Further guidance will be provided at that time on 
the application of the correct rates to be used for both budgeting and 
reimbursement purposes.

Programs operating under an approved waiver will continue to be reimbursed 
based on the F&A cost rates agreed to under the terms in the waiver and 
will continue to use the agreed upon rate for proposals submitted to those 
programs.

Please contact Ahmad Hakim-Elahi, Office of Research, at (530) 752-6060 or 
Kathy Hass, Accounting & Financial Services, at (530) 757-8525, if you have 
questions about this directive.
