Empirical Concepts developed the 

DARRP indirect rates for FY 2016 and 

2017. Empirical reaffirmed that the 

Direct Labor Cost Base is the most 

appropriate indirect allocation method 

for the development of the FY 2016, 

2017, and 2018 indirect cost rates. The 

federal 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) 

Empirical Concepts developed the 

DARRP indirect rates for FY 19 and 

reaffirmed the Direct Labor Cost Base as 

the most appropriate indirect allocation 

for the development of the FY 2019 

indirect cost rates. 

The DARRP’s Indirect Cost Rates and 

Policies 

The DARRP will apply the indirect 

cost rates for FY 2019 as recommended 

by Empirical for each of the DARRP 

component organizations as provided in 

the following table: 

DARRP component organization 

FY 2019 

indirect rate 

(percent) 

Office of Response and Restoration 

(ORR) .......................................... 142.15 

Restoration Center (RC) ................. 76.99 

General Counsel Natural Resources Section (GCNRS) ........... 65.95 

The FY 2019 rates will be applied to 

all damage assessment and restoration 

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.

Comments 

Because this is an emergency request

published in the Federal Register. 

Title of Collection: AmeriCorps 

Diversity Questionnaire. 

OMB Control Number: 3045–0035 

Type of Review: New Information 

Collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Eligible 

organizations that are applying for 

AmeriCorps grants. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 750. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 375 hours. 

Abstract: The information provided 

by the survey will enable AmeriCorps to 

better understand the demographic 

characteristics of current grantees and 

potential grantees to further 

AmeriCorps’ efforts to take into account 

the diversity of communities and 

participants in its grantmaking. This is 

a requirement per the American Rescue 

Plan Act. Additionally, it will enable 

AmeriCorps to better target training, 

technical assistance, and outreach to 

potential grantees with the goal of 

creating programs that represent and 

serve the full diversity of our nation’s 

communities. 

AmeriCorps is proposing embedding 

this questionnaire into the existing grant 

application via the online system, 

eGrants, as a way to minimize the 

burden of the collection of the 

information. The questionnaire will be 

submitted annually per applicant for 

funding and estimated time for

completion is less than 30 minutes, 

based on staff testing of the survey. The 

questionnaire will be submitted 

electronically as part of the existing 

AmeriCorps grant application and 

questions have been crafted for ease of 

reporting and efficient collection. The 

questionnaire will be complemented 

with an in-depth set of grant application 

instructions. Staff will also be available 

to provide individualized assistance, if 

needed.
