EMPG Program Appendix | 2023 Page H-38 costs should be included in the Other category. M&A funding cannot be used for construction or renovation costs. Indirect Costs: If indirect charges are budgeted, indicate the approved rate and base (the cost categories for which this indirect cost percentage rate will be applied.) Indirect costs are those incurred by the recipient for a common or joint purpose that benefit more than one cost objective or project and are not readily assignable to specific cost objectives or projects as a direct cost. In order for indirect costs to be allowable, the applicant must have a federal or state negotiated indirect cost rate (e.g., fixed, predetermined, final or provisional), or must have submitted a proposal to the cognizant federal or state agency. An approved Indirect Cost Rate Agreement signed by the recipient agency and the cognizant agency for the recipient, or a copy of the proposal t o the cognizant federal or state agency for an indirect cost rate, must be included in the submission of the Work Plan Template for application purposes. Examples of Indirect Cost Rate calculations are shown below: 1. Personnel (Indirect Rate x Personnel = Indirect Costs) 2. Personnel and Fringe (Indirect Rate x Personnel & Fringe = Indirect Costs) 3. Total Direct Costs (Indirect Rate x Total Direct Costs = Indirect Costs) Applicants who wish to use a cost allocation plan in lieu of an indirect cost rate must a lso reach out to the FEMA Grants Management Specialist for further instructions. Per 2 C .F.R. Part 200, Appendix VII, paragraph D.1.b, state and local governments are not permitted to use the de minimus rate without seeking and receiving FEMA’s approval of a case-by-case exception. Applicants who wish to request the case-by- case exception should reach out to their FEMA Grants Management Specialist for further instructions. Post-award requests to charge indirect costs will be considered on a case -by-case basis and based upon the submission of an agreement or proposal as discussed above or based upon the de minimis rate or cost allocation plan, as applicable.
