standard form for submitting facilities and administrative rate 
proposals by educational institutions. These forms are required by OMB 
Circular A-21, ``Cost Principles for Educational Institutions.''

comments will be considered to the extent practicable.

Financial Management, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, 
NW., Room 6025, Washington, DC 20503. Electronic mail (e-mail) comments 
may be submitted to [email protected]. Please include the full 
body of the comments in the text of the message and not as an 
attachment. Please include the name, title, organization, postal 
address, and e-mail address in the text of the message. Due to problems 
receiving postal mail by OMB, we encourage the use of electronic 
submission. Mailed comments may not be received in a timely manner.

Financial Management, Office of Management and Budget, (202) 395-3993.

    Needs and Uses: This form provides a standardized format for the

proposals more efficiently, and help the cognizant agency review each 
proposal on a more consistent basis. It will also facilitate the 
Federal government's effort to collect better information regarding 
educational institutions' F&A costs that could be useful in explaining 
variations in F&A rates among institutions. The form can also be 
downloaded from the OMB Grants Management home page (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants) or
