OVERALL VIEW
 
The seminar's, (my 14 th year), are continually updated to incorporate 2009-2010 revisions and interpretations by Interior (including Tribal Government {general council}, space and legal costs) and current decisions from the Court regarding Ramah-Navajo litigation and effect in the negotiation of indirect cost rates for 2006-2007.  Specifically, beginning with FY 2003 indirect cost proposals, the "benchmarking process" is in effect.  In this Ramah-Navajo court ordered process, Interior will develop and negotiate a separate rate for BIA programs based on the Tribe's negotiated rate.  The proposed/negotiated rate will be used for all other programs, except the BIA, unless there is no "benchmarking" rate adjustment for BIA programs.
