Thank you, Pete, for this attachment. The A-21 is very clear that if you
have a stepped up negotiated rate, then you are allowed to increase your
f&a recovery in accordance with the predetermined steps. This IS using
the rate in effect at the time of award.

"If an educational institution has predetermined rates
40 percent (first year), 42 percent(second year) and 45 percent (third
year), then a five-year project would have rates of 40 percent (first
year),
percent (second year) and 45 percent (third, fourth and fifth years)."
