Rate Explanation: Indirect costs were calculated in accordance with 2 CFR §200.412 Direct and Indirect Costs. The County Office used
an indirect cost rate of 7.70% based on the rate approved by the California Department of Education for each program
which did not have a pre-defined allowable indirect cost rate. The County Office did not elect to use the 10% de
minimis cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414 Indirect Costs. The following are programs that the County Office
charged a lower indirect cost rate based on program requirements or internal budgetary decisions:
Program AL# Indirect Cost Rate
IDEA Preschool Grants 84.173 4.82%
ESSER III State Reserve - Summer Learning Programs 84.425 7.49%
