From: Interdepartmental Fees & Charges Committee Co-Chairs
Dennis Press, University Controller
Date: July 10, 2012
This memorandum is the annual reminder regarding requests for interdepartmental fees and charges. In accordance with the Campus Interdepartmental Fees & Charges (IF&C) policies and procedures, requests for new interdepartmental fees, revisions to existing interdepartmental fees, and the elimination of interdepartmental fees that will go into effect during Fiscal Year 2013-14 must be submitted to the IF&C Committee no later than Monday, September 17, 2012. Rate increases and new fees received after the deadline will not be considered. The rate review and approval process must be completed and rate revisions and new fees announced to the campus no later than February 15, 2013, in advance of next year’s Annual Budget Hearing Process.
All campus units that charge other departments a fee for goods and services should review the “Determination of Fee Oversight Authority” decision diagram on page 4 of the IF&C policies and procedures, and confirm to the Cost Analysis and Compliance department of the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) your present oversight status in accordance with this decision diagram. Please confirm your oversight review status with Cost Analysis and Compliance by August 17, 2012.
If the decision diagram indicates your operation is a Research Service Center (RSC), the appropriate oversight body is the OSR. RSCs do not need to take further action based on this memorandum. OSR will contact you to establish the nature and timing of your next review. If the decision diagram indicates your operation is an Interdepartmental Service Center (ISC), then the appropriate oversight body is the Interdepartmental Fees & Charges Committee and this memorandum does apply.
