benefits are health insurance,
retirement, life insurance, and Thrift
Savings Plan basic and matching
contributions.
The calculation for the 2017 benefits
rate per hour per program employee is:
[FY 2016 Direct Benefits/(Total
Regular hours + Total Overtime hours +
Total Holiday hours) ($190,215,190/
19,693,587)] = $9.66 + ($9.66* 1.60%
(calendar year 2017 Cost of Living
Increase) = $9.81.
Travel and Operating Rate: The
quotient of dividing the previous fiscal
year’s total direct travel and operating
costs by the previous fiscal year’s total
hours (regular, overtime, and holiday),
plus that quotient multiplied by the
calendar year’s percentage of inflation.
The calculation for the 2017 travel
and operating rate per hour per program
employee is:
[FY 2016 Total Direct Travel and
Operating Costs/(Total Regular hours +
Total Overtime hours + Total Holiday
hours) ($18,819,123/19,693,587)] =
$0.96 + ($0.96 * 1.0% (2017 Inflation)
= $0.97.
Overhead Rate: The quotient of
dividing the previous fiscal year’s
indirect costs plus the previous fiscal
year’s information technology (IT) costs
in the Public Health Data
Communication Infrastructure System
Fund plus the previous fiscal year’s
Office of Management Program cost in
the Reimbursable and Voluntary Funds
plus the provision for the operating
balance less any Greenbook costs (i.e.,
costs of USDA support services prorated
to the service component for which fees
are charged) that are not related to food
inspection by the previous fiscal year’s
total hours (regular, overtime, and
holiday) worked across all funds, plus
the quotient multiplied by the calendar
year’s percentage of inflation.
The calculation for the 2017 overhead
rate per hour per program employee is:
[FY 2016 Total Overhead/(Total
Regular hours + Total Overtime hours +
Total Holiday hours)($ 315,614,079/
19,693,587)] = $16.03 + ($16.03 * 1.0%
(2017 Inflation) = $16.19.
Allowance for Bad Debt Rate =
Previous fiscal year’s total allowance for
bad debt (for example, debt owed that
is not paid in full by plants and
establishments that declare bankruptcy)
divided by previous fiscal year’s total
hours (regular, overtime, and holiday)
worked.
The 2017 calculation for bad debt rate
per hour per program employee is:
[FY 2016 Total Bad Debt/(Total
Regular hours + Total Overtime hours +
Total Holiday hours) = ($342,710/
19,693,587)] = $.02.
