Nevin,

On a US Small Business Administration project we had an agency working as a subrecipient  who was in the process of negotiating a Federal rate. The SBA allowed them to use a 26% rate, the capped "A" component of F&A on an interim basis.

Other agencies have other positions and policies - most are more stringent.

Hello Colleagues:

I hope you are all well. We have a grant with a subaward to a partner that doesn't have a federally-negotiated rate. I know that they can sometimes put in a rate (20-30%)  as a "placeholder" while they go about negotiating the rate, but can anyone share any specific experience or regulations that allow this?

Many thanks!

Nevin
