Val,

I have dealt with section G.7 quite a bit in the last month due to our new rates
at UNC.  From my standpoint, it only addresses the F & A rates on the awards.
If other items in your rate agreement change (e.g. fringe benefit rates, special
conditions), these change should carry into the existing awards.  Circular A-21
only discusses the rate change.  I hope I understood your question correctly.

Any questions, please feel free to contact me.  Have a good day.

John
