Restoration Center (RC) ................. General Counsel Natural Resources Section (GCNRS) ........... FY 2019 indirect rate (percent) 142.15 76.99 65.95 The FY 2019 rates will be applied to all damage assessment and restoration VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:43 Aug 23, 2021 Jkt 253001 case costs incurred between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019 effective October 1, 2021. DARRP will use the FY 2019 indirect cost rates for future fiscal years, beginning with FY 2020, 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 settlement documents are not finalized, the costs will not be recalculated.
