Covering losses of other awards Do not assume that because an item of cost is not listed here that it is automatically allowable. Determination as to allowability in each case should be based on the treatment of A-a? Cost principles provided for similar or related items of cost. The Department strongly recommends you read through all the "selected items of cost" in Attachment B. We finish by highlighting some of the administrative requirements identified in the Common Rule Subpart C and 0 Common Rule Subpart C 1_.24 Matching or cost sharing. Contributions, including cash and third party in-kind, shall be accepted as part of the recipient's cost sharing or matching when such contributions meet all of the following: .

Are necessary and reasonable for proper and efficient accomplishment of project or program objectives. . Are allowable under the applicable cost principles of OMB Circular A-a? . Are not paid by the Federal Government under another award, except where authorized by Federal statute to be used for cost sharing or matching. . Are provided for in the approved budget when required by the Federal awarding agency. . Valued and documented to conform to the provisions of the Common Rule, as applicable. Volunteer services donated by professional and technical personnel, consultants, and other skilled and unskilled labor may be counted as cost sharing or matching if the service is an integral and necessary part of an approved project or program. Rates for volunteer services shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the recipient's organization. In those instances in which the required skills are not found in the recipient organization, rates shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the labor market in which the recipient competes for the kind of services involved. In either case, paid fringe benefits that are reasonable, allowable, and allocable may be included in the valuation. 7
