(2) Ineligible RAB/TRC Expenditures.
(a) RAB administrative expenses do not include community involvement expenses, such
as preparation of fact sheets or other information materials for public distribution, costs of public
meetings, mailings, responding to public comments on the restoration program, or repository
costs. Also, expenditures/outlays to determine the interest of a community in establishing a
RAB/TRC are considered to be project management expenses and are not to be charged to
RAB/TRC accounts.
(b) Salaries for DOD personnel, and temporary duty travel of DOD personnel in
connection with RAB/TRC and TAPP activities. These expenditures must be captured as project
management costs.
(c) Dedicated equipment, such as computers, software, facsimile machines, telephone
lines or access, or electronic mail for RAB community members.
(d) Renting dedicated office space for and providing administrative support services to
RAB community members.
(e) Printed stationary and personal business cards.
(f) Temporary duty travel, conference attendance, or conference fees for RAB community
members.
(g) Compensation to RAB members for meeting attendance, work hours lost, time
invested in reviewing and commenting on documents, travel to RAB meetings, or long distance
telephone calls.
b. TAPP Support.
(1) Funding for independent technical assistance for RAB/TRC community members
under the TAPP program may be necessary on a case-by-case basis. There is no separate
appropriation for TAPP. TAPP projects will be funded from the MSC's allocation of FUDS
funds. TAPP is not a grant or direct funding to the RAB/TRC, nor is it a blank check to use at
the RAB's/TRC's discretion.
(2) Current policy limits TAPP expenditures for each FUDS property with a RAB/TRC to
an annual maximum of ,000 or 1 percent of the cost to complete restoration activities
(studies, design, cleanup, and operation and maintenance costs) for the FUDS property at the
time TAPP is requested, whichever is less, with a lifetime maximum of 0,000 per FUDS
property.
