INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

TO: STATE ADMINISTRATORS OF STATE PUBLIC WELFARE AGENCIES, CHILD WELFARE SERVICES STATE GRANT PROGRAM

SUBJECT: Cost Allocation Plans for Public Assistance Programs

LEGAL & RELATED REFERENCES: 45 CFR Parts 75, 95, 205, 304, 1392

INFORMATION: Attached are regulations which govern the preparation, submission and approval of State agency cost allocation plans.

CONTENT: These interim final rules revise existing regulations concerning the preparation, submission and approval of State agency cost allocation plans used in computing claims from Federal Financial Participation under public assistance programs. It also reflects the transfer of responsibility for review and approval of the plans to the Division of Cost Allocation (DCA) in the Department's regional offices. This responsibility was previously assigned to the Social and Rehabilitation Services, which was abolished by Secretarial Order published on March 9, 1977 (42 FR 13262). The current rule has been rewritten so that it is clearer, easier to understand more specific. The Department's Informal Grant Appeals regulation relative to cost allocation plans and indirect cost rates (45 CFR Part 75) is also being updated and revised to make it consistent with Subpart E of 45 CFR Part 95, cost allocation plans.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 24, 1982

INQUIRIES TO: Regional Program Directors, Administration for Children, Youth and Families.

Commissioner
