For EE 1997/98, these will be funded at 50% of designated total
    pending a mid-year compliance check to release the remainder.

        A-21 funds will probably continue indefinitely at about 
    the same level, so go ahead and spend on those accounts.  
    Money should be here Dec. or Jan.  PI Cert sheets need to be 
    kept up-to-date in order to receive A-21 funds.


    ======    Guidelines for Use of A-21 Mitigation Funds    ======    

    A mitigation account is any account ending in 052, 053, or 054. 
Faculty allocations are based on sponsored research in the previous year.
Mitigation funds must be spent by August 31; any unspent funds will be 
returned to the Provost.  We are not allowed to carry these over to the 
next fiscal year.

    These funds can be used only for the following expenses (which were
affected by changed A-21 regulations, effective 9/1/94 at Stanford)* 
- they may not be used to clear overdrafts during closeout of sponsored 
project accounts. 

	GL Code         Expense

	94170,5,6       Administrative support costs
	94181,2,3,4     Administrative support costs
	94573           Local phone service & local area access charge
	94591,2         Membership fees and dues
	94610           Office supplies
	94613           Postage
	94615           Copying
	94644           Temporary service (administrative only)


    Please be sure that you are not charging expenses with the above 
GL codes to federally sponsored grants/contracts.  

Note:  
   GL code 94630 (Report Preparation) is allowable and should be used
to charge copying, supplies, postage and other expense for preparation 
of reports and associated shipping and mail costs.  For many projects, 
this represents the bulk of copying expense.
