De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: Direct costs are used.
Pursuant to the Uniform Guidance, federal financial assistance is defined as assistance provided by
a federal agency, either directly or indirectly, in the form of grants, contracts, cooperative
agreements, loans, loan guarantees, property, interest subsidies, insurance, or direct
appropriations. Accordingly, non-monetary federal assistance, including federal surplus property, is
included in federal financial assistance and, therefore, is reported on the schedule of expenditures
of federal awards, if applicable. Federal financial assistance does not include direct federal cash
assistance to individuals. Solicited contracts between the state and federal government for which
the federal government procures tangible goods or services are not considered to be federal
financial assistance.
