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

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.
