Sec. 208.33  Allowable costs.



    (a) Cost neutrality. DHS policy is that an Alert or Activation 

should be as cost neutral as possible to Sponsoring Agencies and 

Participating Agencies. To make an Alert or Activation cost-neutral, DHS 

will reimburse under this subpart all reasonable, allowable, necessary 

and allocable costs that a Sponsoring Agency or Participating Agency 

incurs during the Alert or Activation.

    (b) Actual costs. Notwithstanding any other provision of this 

chapter, DHS will not reimburse a Sponsoring Agency or Participating 

Agency for any costs greater than those that the Sponsoring Agency or 

Participating Agency actually incurs during an Alert, Activation.

    (c) Normal or predetermined practices. Consistent with Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A-21, A-87, A-102 and A-110 (2 CFR 

part 215), as applicable, Sponsoring Agencies and Participating Agencies 

must adhere to their own normal and predetermined practices and policies 

of general application when requesting reimbursement from DHS except as 

it sets out in this subpart.

    (d) Indirect costs. Indirect costs beyond the administrative and 

management costs allowance established by Sec. 208.41 of this part are 

not allowable.
