# §75.561. Approval of indirect cost rates and cost allocation plans.

- (a) If the Department of Education is the cognizant agency, the Secretary approves an indirect cost rate or cost allocation plan for a grantee that is eligible and does not elect a de minimis rate, and is not a local educational agency. For the purposes of this section, the term “local educational agency” does not include a State agency.
- (b) Each State educational agency, on the basis of a plan approved by the Secretary, shall approve an indirect cost rate for each local educational agency that requests it to do so.
- (c) **The Secretary generally approves indirect cost rate agreements annually.** Indirect cost rate agreements may be approved for periods longer than a year if the Secretary determines that rates will be sufficiently stable to justify a longer rate period.
