Less than $35 million, the indirect cost proposal developed in accordance <br />with Appendix VII of 2 CFR 200 requirements. <br />ii. If the Subrecipient does not receive direct federal funds (i.e., only receives funds <br />as a subrecipient), the Subrecipient must either elect to charge a de minimis rate <br />of ten percent (10%) or 10% of modified total direct costs or choose to negotiate <br />a higher rate with the Department. If the latter is preferred, the Subrecipient must <br />contact Department Key Personnel for approval steps. <br />d.
