The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Uniform Guidance 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

The Company has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance
The Assistance Listing Numbers (AL), formerly Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers, are the publicly available listings of Federal assistance programs. The first two digits identify the federal department or agency that administers the program, and the last three numbers are assigned by numerical sequence.
