(5) Costs of other general types of government services normally provided to the general public, such as fire and police, unless provided for as a direct cost under a program statute or regulation. (b) For Indian tribes and Councils of Governments (COGs) (see definition for Local government in § 200.1 of this part),up to 50%of salaries and expenses directly attributable to managing and operating Federal programs by the chief executive and his or her staff can be included in the indirect cost calculation without documentation. §200.416 COST ALLOCATION PLANS AND INDIRECT COST PROPOSALS. (a) For states, local governments and Indian tribes, certain services, such as motor pools, computer centers, purchasing, accounting, etc., are provided to operating agencies on a centralized basis. Since Federal awards are performed within the individual operating agencies, there needs to be a process whereby these central service costs can be identified and assigned to benefitted activities on a reasonable and consistent basis. The central service cost allocation plan provides that process. (b) Individual operating agencies (governmental department or agency), normally charge Federal awards for indirect costs through an indirect cost rate. A separate indirect cost rate(s)proposal for each operating agency is usually necessary to claim indirect costs under Federal awards. Indirect costs include: (1)The indirect costs originating in each department or agency of the governmental unit carrying out Federal awards and (2)The costs of central governmental services distributed through the central service cost allocation plan and not otherwise treated as direct costs. (c)The requirements for development and submission of cost allocation plans (for central service costs and public assistance programs)and indirect cost rate proposals are contained in appendices V, VI and VII to this part. §200.417 INTERAGENCY SERVICE. The cost of services provided by one agency to another within the governmental unit may include allowable direct costs of the service plus a pro-rated share of indirect costs. A standard indirect cost allowance equal to ten percent of the direct salary and wage cost of providing the service (excluding overtime, shift premiums, and fringe benefits) may be used in lieu of determining the actual indirect costs of the service. These services do not include centralized services included in central service cost allocation plans as described in Appendix V to Part 200. 8
