1. PURPOSE. This Instruction establishes Reimbursable Standard Rates for Coast Guard

Reimbursable Agency Agreements and communicates adjustments in the cost of operating

both Coast Guard assets and non-asset missions. This policy reflects consolidated hourly

program rates for the following: Coast Guard mission assets, personnel, ATON, pollution

clean-up equipment, vehicle rates, outpatient visits, canine team rates, dive team rates, and

deployable C5I equipment. It also assigns responsibility and delegates authority to

Commandant (CG-83) for the publishing and updating of personnel rates. This Instruction

must be used when computing reimbursable standard rates in accordance with References (a)

and (b).

2. ACTION. All Coast Guard unit commanders, commanding officers, officers-in-charge,

deputy/assistant commandants, and office chiefs of headquarters staff elements must comply

with the provisions of this Instruction.

3. AUTHORIZED RELEASE. Internet release is authorized.

4. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. Reimbursable Standard Rates, COMDTINST 7310.1V, is

hereby cancelled. New rates will take effect 30 days after this Instruction has been signed.

5. DISCUSSION. Definition and discussion of reimbursable standard rates and the activitybased costing system.

COMDTINST 7310.1W 

a. The Coast Guard may at times enter into reimbursable agreements with other government

agencies, states, territories, and political subdivisions in accordance with References (c)

through (e) and the cost of the services and/or supplies must be recovered. Lacking a

more specific statutory authority as prescribed by References (d) and (e), the Economy

Act permits heads of agencies or major organizational units within an agency to place

orders with a major organizational unit within the same agency or another federal agency

for supplies or services. A condition of the Economy Act requires actual cost recovery.

The enclosed rates represent full actual cost to the Coast Guard for use of its resources.

b. The standard rates are derived using an activity-based costing system, the Expense

Allocation Model (EAM), to aggregate the Coast Guard’s direct and indirect operating

costs and assign those costs to its asset and non-asset missions. The EAM begins with

Coast Guard total annual operating expense – and breaks it into direct, support and

overhead costs and allocates these costs to asset classes. These represent the ingovernment costs. Out-of-government costs include all of the above, plus pension,

depreciation and the cost of capital. The hourly rates are calculated using Activity-Based

Management (ABM) and survey software technology to capture its costs and levels of

effort. The standard rates are calculated by dividing the total asset class cost by total

program or resource hours per class (3 yr. average).

6. DISCLAIMER. This guidance is not a substitute for applicable legal requirements, nor is it

itself a rule. It is intended to provide operational guidance for Coast Guard personnel and is

not intended to nor does it impose legally-binding requirements on any party outside the

Coast Guard.

7. MAJOR CHANGES. Major changes to this Instruction include rate updates to: Hourly

Standard Rates for Aircraft, Boats, and Cutters and Hourly Rates for Personnel as Appendix

A and B.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT AND IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS. The Office of

Environmental Management, Commandant (CG-47) reviewed this Commandant Instruction

and the general policies contained within, and determined that this policy falls under the

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) categorical exclusion A3. This Commandant

Instruction will not result in any substantial change to existing environmental conditions or

violation of any applicable federal, state, or local laws relating to the protection of the

environment. It is the responsibility of the action proponent to evaluate all future specific

actions resulting from this policy for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA), other applicable environmental requirements, and the U.S. Coast Guard

Environmental Planning Policy, COMDTINST 5090.1 (series).

9. DISTRIBUTION. No paper distribution will be made of this Instruction. An electronic

version will be located in the Coast Guard Directives System Library internally, and if

applicable on the Internet at www.dcms.uscg.mil/directives .

10. RECORDS MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS. Records created as a result of this

Instruction, regardless of format or media, must be managed in accordance with the records

COMDTINST 7310.1W 

retention schedules located on the Records Resource Center SharePoint Online site: 

https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/cg61/CG611/SitePages/Home.aspx . 

11. POLICY. Related to usage and disposition of standard rates and related costs.

a. Use the “Outside Government” rates for services provided to customers outside of the

Federal government. Use the “Inside Government” rates for intra-governmental services.

b. The Coast Guard currently has a negotiated rate for certain government users of the Polar

Icebreakers. The Office of Waterways and Ocean Policy (CG-WWM) is responsible for

publishing and updating the non-standard rate.

c. The “direct” portion of the standard rates includes both fixed and variable components.

Therefore, these rates must not be used to calculate reimbursement for Federal

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and foreseeable costs related to contracting

actions, cost justification for use of military aircraft, or incremental operations costs.

Rates for these purposes will be promulgated separately.

d. Reimbursable rates for services provided, which are not covered by this Instruction, must

be developed in consultation with Commandant (CG-834).

e. These rates, where appropriate, should be supplemented with out-of-pocket costs such as:

(1) Extra maintenance required due to extraordinary facility use or abuse, based on the

actual costs of the additional materials and labor.

(2) Incidental personnel expenses such as travel and per diem.

(3) The cost of any special equipment purchased solely for the purpose of providing a

reimbursable service.

f. The Office of Resource Management (CG-83) is responsible for publishing and updating

the Reimbursable Personnel Cost and Standard Personnel Cost tables annually in

accordance with Reference (f).

12. POLICY ON RATES. Attached to this Instruction are hourly standard reimbursable rates as

Appendix A through I. The Polar rates can be found by contacting CG-WWM if needed to

determine the non-standard rate which is specifically approved for the National Science

Foundation (NSF) otherwise refer to Appendix 1 for the reimbursable standard rate for either

CGC HEALY, CGC POLAR SEA, or CGC POLAR STAR.

13. FORMS/REPORTS. None.

14. SECTION 508. This Instruction adheres to Accessibility Guidelines and Standards as

promulgated by the U.S. Access Board. If changes are needed, please communicate with the

Coast Guard Section 508 Program Management Office at Section.508@uscg.mil.

HOURLY STANDARD RATES FOR AIRCRAFT, BOATS, AND CUTTERS 

1. Rate Computation. The hourly standard rates for aircraft, boats, and cutters are divided into two

categories “Inside Government” and “Outside Government.” The “Inside Government” rate is for

use when charging other Federal agencies within the government. The “Outside Government” rate

is for use when charging all others. FEMA rates are promulgated separately. To access FEMA rates

navigate to CG Portal at: https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/cg83/CG834/SitePages/CG834_Costing_Tools.aspx and review the Variable Rates under Costing Tools.

2. Rate Application - Inside Government. The following are the components of the “Inside

Government” rate in accordance with Reference (a):

a. Direct Costs: Represents direct costs incurred by a particular asset class. This includes labor,

employee benefits, fuel, maintenance, etc.

b. Support Costs: Costs allocated to a particular asset class for support received from Coast Guard

support activities, including but not limited to, Area Commands, Districts, Sectors, Sector Field

Offices, Bases, etc.

c. General and Administrative (G&A): Costs allocated to a particular asset class to represent

benefit received from Coast Guard general and administrative activities such as legal services,

payroll processing, etc.

3. Rate Application - Outside Government. In addition to the costs listed in the “Inside Government”

rate, the following additional costs are included in the “Outside Government” rate in accordance

with References (a) and (b):

a. Pension Benefit Adjustment: Costs incurred for retirement pay and medical expenses.

b. Operating Asset Depreciation: Depreciation by class of cutter, aircraft, boats, buildings,

structures, electronics, and other assets.

c. Operating Asset Cost of Capital: The annual rate of return (equal to the average long-term

Treasury Bond rate) applied to the net book value of cutters, aircraft, boats, buildings, structures,

and other assets.

Appendix B. to COMDTINST 7310.1W 

HOURLY STANDARD RATES FOR PERSONNEL 

1. Rate Computation. Hourly standard rates for personnel services are based on prevailing annual

standard personnel costs related to employee productive hours as reflected in Coast Guard

Manpower Requirements Manual, COMDTINST M5310.6 (series). The rates are presented on the

following page. Factors representing incurred but unfunded retirement and medical costs are

included for customer effort external to the government.

2. Rate Application. Personnel rates provided in this Enclosure are a derivative of the Standard

Personnel Costs and are intended to be applied to reimbursement sought (in arrears), where the Coast

Guard seeks reimbursement for services provided after the fact, or for long-term response events.

Average hourly rates for customers inside and outside the government are presented for those

situations that require computations on an hourly basis.

a. Reimbursements for personnel services that involve extended periods of time (e.g., monthly or

yearly) can be found on CG Portal at:

https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/cg83/CG834/SitePages/CG-834_Costing_Tools.aspx and review

the Reimbursable Personnel Cost (RPC) worksheets for the desired fiscal year. If assistance is

still needed, please contact Commandant (CG-834) Costing Team for appropriate guidance.

b. Of particular note, charges for normal crews are contained within the rates for Aircraft, Boats,

and Cutters. Please use standard personnel rates listed below only where additional personnel

reimbursement is appropriate.

c. Actual costs for travel and per diem, if applicable, must also be included in reimbursement. Use

the following link for travel and per diem rates:

https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/perdiem.cfm.

d. Reimbursable agreements that utilize apportioned reimbursable budget authority should use the

RPC tables, which provide calculated costs for reimbursable positions to be included in planned

or anticipated Inter/Intra-Agency agreements when the Coast Guard is the Seller agency. The

rate table is found on CG Portal at: https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/cg83/CG834/SitePages/CG834_Costing_Tools.aspx.

Appendix C. to COMDTINST 7310.1W 

STANDARD RATES FOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF DAMAGED AIDS TO 

NAVIGATION 

1. Rate Computation. Two possible components may apply when computing a charge for repair or

replacement of a damaged or destroyed aid to navigation (ATON). These components are discussed

below, however, they do not include vessel, boat, or vehicle time which must be determined

separately based upon this Instruction. Additional policy on charges for aids to navigation work is

contained in 33 C.F.R. Part 74.

2. Rate Application - Replacement Costs. For costs associated with replacement of fixed or floating

ATON, refer to the price lists in the ATON Document Library under Resources and Templates

located on the Waterways Operations Product Line (WOPL) website at the following URL:

https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/silc/CE%20Product%20Lines/WW/SitePages/Home.aspx.

a. Replacement costs for floating ATON shall consist of the buoy, chain, associated mooring

hardware and sinker, signal equipment (to include retro-reflective tape and lettering/numbering),

and the related transportation cost.

b. Replacement cost for fixed ATON structures shall be the actual cost of construction materials

and associated signal equipment. If replacement is accomplished using a contractor, charges

should include contract cost, contract management cost (including inspection) and actual cost of

government furnished equipment.

c. Charges shall include the cost of temporary floating aids until the damaged aid is replaced.

d. Replacement costs shall also include government labor and be computed using the personnel

rates contained in this Instruction.

3. Rate Application - Temporary Aids. Charges for temporary aids shall include the actual cost for the

retrofit and signal equipment needed to place the aid in the water. After retrieval of the temporary

aid, include the cost to place the buoy in ready-for-issue condition.

a. Servicing costs vary throughout the Coast Guard and shall be computed locally at the District

level by prorating costs based on the buoy type, operational region, and relief period. Costs

should then be verified by WOPL. The monthly servicing cost for a steel buoy is computed by

dividing overhead cost by the number of months in a relief cycle. If a buoy has a 9-year relief

cycle, the overhead cost is divided by 108 months.

b. Engage the WOPL for current overhaul costs by buoy type and operational region.

c. In applying these computed rates, one month is 16 or more days of use.

d. Labor for buoy servicing at CG industrial facilities shall be computed using personnel rates

contained in this Instruction. Labor for buoy servicing at commercial facilities is captured in

overhaul costs provided in paragraph 3.a.

4. Questions concerning computing charges for damaged aids shall be referred to (primary) WOPL at

D05-DG-SILC-WOPL or (secondary) Commandant (CG-NAV-1) at HQS-DG-lst-CG-NAV-1.
