Under the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Public Assistance Program, subrecipients may <br />seek reimbursement for indirect costs. 44 C.F.R. § 207.2, defines indirect costs as, "costs that are incurred by a <br />grantee for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective that are not readily assignable to the <br />cost objectives specifically benefited". Additionally, "indirect costs may not be charged directly to a project or <br />reimbursed separately, but rather are considered to be eligible management costs under this part" (see 44 C.F.R. § <br />207.6). Any organization that receives Federal awards and requests recovery of indirect costs must have an approved <br />federally recognized indirect cost rate agreement (see 2 C.F.R. § 200.400 — 200.476 and Appendix IV to Part 200). <br />The indirect cost rate shall be negotiated between the subrecipient and the Federal government. If no approved rate <br />exists the Agency shall determine the appropriate rate in collaboration with the subrecipient, which is either the <br />negotiated rate between the Agency and the subrecipient or the de minimus indirect cost rate. <br />(10) PAYMENT <br />a.

Funding will remain contingent upon obligation by FEMA and the <br />Applicant will be liable for repayment (See (12) REPAYMENTS) upon de -obligation by FEMA of any disbursed funds. <br />Any de -obligation of funding is within FEMA's sole discretion and the Agency shall not be liable for FEMA's exercise <br />of its discretion. Participation in the F -ROC program does not guarantee funding and is dependent upon FEMA's <br />obligation. As stated in the executed F -ROC Participation Request Form: <br />a.
