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 ERT, Inc. (ERT), Freestone Environmental Services, Inc. (Freestone), and Genwest Systems, Inc. (Genwest) 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. ERT, Freestone, and Genwest provided onsite support to the DARRP in the areas of injury assessment, natural resource economics, restoration planning and implementation, and policy analysis.

Empirical reaffirmed that the Direct Labor Cost Base is the most appropriate indirect allocation method for the development of the FY 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 indirect cost rates. The Federal Register notice for these rates can be found at the following: • FY 2016 and FY 2017, published on October 16, 2019 (84 FR 55283) • FY 2018, published on August 5, 2020 (85 FR 47358) • FY 2019, published on August 24, 2021 (86 FR 47300) Empirical Concepts developed the DARRP indirect rates for FY 2020 and VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:44 Apr 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 reaffirmed the Direct Labor Cost Base as the most appropriate indirect allocation for the development of the FY 2020 indirect cost rates. The DARRP’s Indirect Cost Rates and Policies The DARRP will apply the indirect cost rates for FY 2020 as recommended by Empirical Concepts for each of the DARRP component organizations as provided in the following table: FY 2020 indirect rate (%) DARRP component organization Office of Response and Restoration (ORR) .................................................. Restoration Center (RC) ......................... General Counsel Natural Resources Section (GCNRS) ................................ 128.19 77.13 42.98 The FY 2020 rates will be applied to all damage assessment and restoration case costs incurred between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020 effective May 1, 2023. DARRP will use the FY 2020 indirect cost rates for future fiscal years, beginning with FY 2021, 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.

The EWG will present draft risk tables and related methodologies to the Council at its September meeting. Risk tables are a structured approach to integrate ecosystem and climate information into the decision-making process. At its meeting the EWG will begin developing risk tables and related methodologies for selected species in consultation with members of the Council’s Groundfish Management Team.
