Sec. 76.560  General indirect cost rates; exceptions.

    (a) The differences between direct and indirect costs and the 
principles for determining the general indirect cost rate that a grantee 
may use for grants under most programs are specified in the cost 
principles for--
    (1) Institutions of higher education, at 34 CFR 74.27;
    (2) Hospitals, at 34 CFR 74.27;
    (3) Other nonprofit organizations, at 34 CFR 74.27;
    (4) Commercial (for-profit) organizations, at 34 CFR 74.27; and
    (5) State and local governments and federally-recognized Indian 
tribal organizations, at 34 CFR 80.22.
    (b) A grantee must have a current indirect cost rate agreement to 
charge indirect costs to a grant. To obtain an indirect cost rate, a 
grantee must submit an indirect cost proposal to its cognizant agency 
and negotiate an indirect cost rate agreement.
    (c) The Secretary may establish a temporary indirect cost rate for a 
grantee that does not have an indirect cost rate agreement with its 
cognizant agency.
    (d) The Secretary accepts an indirect cost rate negotiated by a 
grantee's cognizant agency, but may establish a restricted indirect cost 
rate for a grantee to satisfy the statutory requirements of certain 
programs administered by the Department.
