About this file

This document is Appendix H of a U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Special Use Permit for Campground and Related Granger-Thye Concessions, specifically a Granger-Thye Fee Offset Claim form (FS-2700-4h, Appendix H, 09/2020).

The form is used by permit holders to claim cost offsets against their annual permit fees under the Granger-Thye Act (16 U.S.C. 580d). Total allowable costs may be offset to the extent they do not exceed the total annual fee for the permit. Allowable costs consist of direct Granger-Thye project costs and indirect costs allocable to the project, all of which must be documented, reasonable, and allocable in accordance with permit terms, the applicable fee offset agreement, and Forest Service directives. Direct costs are organized into four categories: Salaries and Wages, Materials and Supplies, Subcontracts, and Other (with specification required). Indirect costs are calculated by applying a Forest Service-approved indirect cost rate to the sum of direct costs; the approved rate for the fiscal year must be attached to the claim. The claim requires supporting documentation and detailed cost breakdowns by cost element. Approval is subject to all provisions in the Annual Granger-Thye Fee Offset Agreement executed between the Forest Service, the specified National Forest, and the permit holder. The holder must certify under penalty of the False Statements Act (18 U.S.C. 1001) that all representations supporting the claim are accurate and complete; failure to sign the certification voids the claim. The form includes standard federal notices regarding the Paperwork Reduction Act, USDA civil rights regulations, Privacy Act, and Freedom of Information Act compliance.
