<p class="MsoNormal">Are you referencing academic libraries? I understood it as public libraries are not likely to have their own indirect cost rate agreement from a federal agency so they could just take the de minimus by requesting in the budget of their
grant application. For academic libraries, they must provide a current indirect cost rate agreement with a federal agency with their grant application and I keep that on file as part of their application documentation. I do have to squabble with universities
sometimes when the agreement has multiple rates depending on the work being funded and they pick the highest rate, not the appropriate rate.<o:p></o:p></p>
