Procurement List; Proposed Addition, 58949-58950 [E9-27399]

Download as PDF 58949 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 219 / Monday, November 16, 2009 / Notices allocation practices; recommend the appropriate indirect cost allocation methodology; and determine the indirect cost rates for the three organizations that comprise the DARRP. A Federal Register notice on R&M’s effort, their assessment of the DARRP’s cost accounting system and practice, and their determination regarding the most appropriate indirect cost methodology and rates for FYs 1993 through 1999 was published on December 7, 2000 (65 FR 76611). The notice and report by R&M can also be found on the DARRP Web site at https:// www.darrp.noaa.gov. R&M continued its assessment of DARRP’s indirect cost rate system and structure for FYs 2000 and 2001. A second federal notice specifying the DARRP indirect rates for FYs 2000 and 2001 was published on December 2, 2002 (67 FR 71537). In October 2002, DARRP hired the accounting firm of Cotton and Company LLP (Cotton) to review and certify DARRP costs incurred on cases for purposes of cost recovery and to develop indirect rates for FY 2002 and subsequent years. As in the prior years, Cotton concluded that the cost accounting system and allocation practices of the DARRP component organizations are consistent with Federal accounting requirements. Consistent with R&M’s previous analyses, Cotton also determined that the most appropriate indirect allocation method continues to be the Direct Labor Cost Base for all three DARRP component organizations. The Direct Labor Cost Base is computed by allocating total indirect cost over the sum of direct labor dollars, plus the application of NOAA’s leave surcharge and benefits rates to direct labor. Direct labor costs for contractors from I.M. Systems Group (IMSG) were included in the direct labor base because Cotton determined that these costs have the same relationship to the indirect cost pool as NOAA direct labor costs. IMSG provided on-site support to the DARRP in the areas of injury assessment, natural resource economics, restoration planning and implementation, and policy analysis. IMSG continues to provide on-site support to the DARRP. A third federal notice specifying the DARRP indirect rates for FY 2002 was published on October 6, 2003 (68 FR 57672), a fourth notice for the FY 2003 indirect cost rates appeared on May 20, 2005 (70 FR 29280), and a fifth notice for the FY 2004 indirect cost rates was published on March 16, 2006 (71 FR 13356). The notice for the FY 2005 indirect cost rates was published on February 9, 2007 (72 FR 6221). The last notice for the FY 2006 rates was published on June 3, 2008 (73 FR 31679). Cotton’s reports on these indirect rates can also be found on the DARRP Web site at https:// www.darrp.noaa.gov. Cotton reaffirmed that the Direct Labor Cost Base is the most appropriate indirect allocation method for the development of the FY 2007 and FY 2008 indirect cost rates. The DARRP’s Indirect Cost Rates and Policies The DARRP will apply the indirect cost rates for FY 2007 and FY 2008 as recommended by Cotton for each of the DARRP component organizations as provided in the following table: FY2007 indirect rate (percent) DARRP component organization mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Office of Response and Restoration (ORR) .................................................................................................... Restoration Center (RC) .................................................................................................................................. General Counsel for Natural Resources (GCNR) ........................................................................................... These rates are based on the Direct Labor Cost Base allocation methodology. The FY 2007 rates will be applied to all damage assessment and restoration case costs incurred between October 1, 2006 and September 30, 2007. The FY 2008 rates will be applied to all damage assessment and restoration case costs incurred between October 1, 2007 and September 30, 2008. DARRP will use the FY 2008 indirect cost rates for future fiscal years, beginning with FY 2009, until subsequent year-specific rates can be developed. For cases that have settled and for cost claims paid prior to the effective date of the fiscal year in question, the DARRP will not re-open any resolved matters for the purpose of applying the revised rates in this policy for these fiscal years. For cases not settled and cost claims not paid prior to the effective date of the fiscal year in question, costs will be recalculated using the revised rates in this policy for these fiscal years. Where a responsible party has agreed to pay costs using previous year’s indirect rates, but has not yet made the payment because the VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:41 Nov 13, 2009 Jkt 220001 settlement documents are not finalized, the costs will not be recalculated. The DARRP indirect cost rate policies and procedures published in the Federal Register on December 7, 2000 (65 FR 76611), on December 2, 2002 (67 FR 71537), October 6, 2003 (68 FR 57672), May 20, 2005 (70 FR 29280), March 16, 2006 (71 FR 13356), February 9, 2007 (72 FR 6221), and June 3, 2008 (73 FR 31679), remain in effect except as updated by this notice.
