If memory serves me, I do believe that you may charge non federally
funded projects the calculated F&A rate.  If the project is directly
federally funded, or indirectly through a subaward, then the rate must
be the federally negotiated rate.  You cannot charge the fed more than
the best (in their eyes) rate.
