Secondly, there are budget modifications like the indirect cost rate initiative that providers have been waiting on for years.
1:40:41
What's the plan to get that backlog cleared?
Lisa Flores
1:40:44
Thank you for that question.
1:40:46
As you know, the administration has committed to the ICR.
1:40:52
As you know, we have an ICR process that once a provider either you either get the de minimis rate or if you elect to request a higher rate, that that process, once approved, is for three years.

The ICR rate is extremely important, obviously, for providers to maintain their full budget.
1:41:14
And we work very closely with OMB and our agencies to ensure that those are done properly.
1:41:20
We actually issued a directive to agencies in the last few weeks reminding agencies of the process, our commitment to the ICR, and if it hasn't gone out already, there will be a correspondence that goes out to providers as well alerting them of our directive to agencies.
