I need an operational definition of a portion of OMB Circular A-21, J.8.d.1
(Salary Rates for faculty members).  A portion of the paragraph states "...in
unusual cases where consultation is across departmental lines or involves a
SEPARATE OR REMOTE OPERATION, and the work performed by the consultant is in
addition to his regular departmental load, any charges for such work
representing extra compensation above the base salary are allowable..."

What is your institution's definition of "a separate operation?"  What is
considered to be "a remote operation?"

Any insight you can provide would be most helpful.  If you wish to respond to
me directly, my email address is xxxxxx@emich.edu.

Thanks!
