and its content. The most current updates to the Enclosures below can be found at
https://cglink.uscg.mil/db006859.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT AND IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS.
a.

The development of this Instruction and the general policies contained within it have
been thoroughly reviewed by the originating office in conjunction with the Office of
Environmental Management, and are Categorically Excluded (CE) under current
United States Coast Guard (USCG) CE #33 from further environmental analysis, in
accordance with Section 2.B.2 and Figure 2-1 of the National Environmental Impacts,
COMDTINST M16475.1 (series).

b.

This Directive will not have any of the following: significant cumulative impacts on the
human environment, substantial controversy or substantial change to existing
environmental conditions, or inconsistencies with any Federal, State, or local laws or
administrative determinations relating to the environment. All future specific actions
resulting from the general policies in this Instruction must be individually evaluated for
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) and CG NEPA policy, and compliance with all other
environmental mandates.

8. DISTRIBUTION. No paper distribution will be made of this Instruction. An electronic
version will be located on the Commandant (CG-612) web site. Internet:
http://www.uscg.mil/directives/ and CG Portal: https://cglink.uscg.mil/db006859.
9. RECORDS MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS. This Instruction has been evaluated for
potential records management impacts. The development of this Instruction has been
thoroughly reviewed during the directives clearance process, and it has been determined
there are no further records scheduling requirements, in accordance with Federal Records
Act, 44 U.S.C. 3101 et seq., National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
requirements, and the Information and Life Cycle Management Manual, COMDTINST

2

COMDTINST 7310.1R
M5212.12 (series). This policy does not have any significant or substantial change to existing
records management requirements.
10. POLICY.
a. Use the “Outside Government” rates for services provided to customers outside of the
Federal government; use the “Inside Government” rates for intra-governmental services.
b. The Coast Guard currently has a negotiated rate for certain government users of the Polar
Icebreakers. Contact the Office of Waterways and Ocean Policy (CG-WWM) for
guidance.
c. The ‘direct’ portion of the standard rates includes both fixed and variable components.
Therefore, these rates should not be used to calculate reimbursement for Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and foreseeable costs related to contracting
actions, cost justification for use of military aircraft or incremental operations costs.
Rates for these purposes shall be promulgated separately.
d. Reimbursable rates for services provided, which are not covered by this Instruction, must
be developed in consultation with Commandant (CG-833).
e. These rates, where appropriate, should be supplemented with out-of-pocket costs such as:
(1) Extra maintenance required due to extraordinary facility use or abuse, based on the
actual costs of the additional materials and labor.
(2) Incidental personnel expenses such as travel and per diem.
(3) The cost of any special equipment purchased solely for the purpose of providing a
reimbursable service.
If in doubt, contact Commandant (CG-833) for guidance.
f. The Office of Resource Management (CG-83) is responsible for publishing and updating
the Standard Personnel Cost (SPC) and the Reimbursable Personnel Cost (RPC) tables
annually in accordance with Reference (d).
g. Other than stated above, the enclosures to this Instruction compile standard rates that are
utilized throughout the Coast Guard. Enclosures (1) and (2) are designed, modeled and
reconciled by Commandant (CG-833), while Enclosures (3) through (9) are designed,
modeled and reconciled by the program offices that specifically own the information and
can properly calculate the rates. The standard rates for assets and the standard personnel
costs that are shown in Enclosure (1) and (2) shall be the building blocks for all other
rates calculated in the Coast Guard by the respective program offices.
11. FORMS/REPORTS. None.

HOURLY STANDARD RATES FOR CUTTERS, BOATS, AND AIRCRAFT
Rate Computation
The hourly standard rates for cutters, boats, and aircraft are divided into two categories “Inside Government” and “Outside Government.” The
“Inside Government” rate is for use when charging other Federal agencies within the government. The “Outside Government” rate is for use
when charging all others. FEMA rates are promulgated separately. To access FEMA rates navigate to CG Portal at:
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/cg833/SitePages/Costing%20tools.aspx and review the Variable Cost Tables for the desired rate.
Rate Application - Inside Government – The following are the components of the “Inside Government” rate in accordance with Reference
(a):
Direct Costs: Represents direct costs incurred by a particular asset class. This includes labor, employee benefits, fuel, maintenance, etc.
Support Costs: Costs allocated to a particular asset class for support received from Coast Guard support activities, including but not limited to,
Area Commands, Districts, Sectors, Sector Field Offices, Bases, etc.
General and Administrative (G&A): Costs allocated to a particular asset class to represent benefit received from Coast Guard general and
administrative activities such as legal services, payroll processing, etc.
Rate Application - Outside Government – In addition to the costs listed in the “Inside Government” rate, the following additional costs are
included in the “Outside Government” rate in accordance with References (a) and (b):
Pension Benefit Adjustment: Costs incurred for retirement pay and medical expenses.
Operating Asset Depreciation: Depreciation by class of cutter, aircraft, boats, buildings, structures, electronics, and other assets.
Operating Asset Cost of Capital: The annual rate of return (equal to the average long-term Treasury Bond rate) applied to the net book value of
cutters, aircraft, boats, buildings, structures, and other assets.

HOURLY STANDARD RATES FOR PERSONNEL
Rate Computation
The hourly standard rates for personnel services are based on prevailing annual standard personnel costs
related to employee productive hours as reflected in Coast Guard Staffing Logic and Manpower
Requirements Manual, Volume II - Policy, COMDTINST M5310.5 (series). The rates are presented on
the following page. A factor representing incurred but unfunded retirement and medical costs is included
for customer effort external to the government.
Rate Application
The personnel rates provided in this enclosure are a derivative of the Standard Personnel Costs (SPC) and
are intended to be applied to reimbursement sought (in arrears), where the Coast Guard is seeking
reimbursement for services provided after the fact, or for longer term response events. The average
hourly rates for customers inside and outside the government are presented for those situations that
require computations on an hourly basis.
For reimbursements for personnel services that involve extended periods of time (e.g., monthly or yearly)
please navigate to CG Portal at: https://cglink.uscg.mil/16bbc23d and review the Standard Rates for
Personnel worksheets for the desired fiscal year. If assistance is still desired, please contact Commandant
(CG-833), specifically the Costing Team for appropriate guidance.
It is important to note that charges for normal crews are contained within the rates for Aircraft, Boats and
Cutters. Therefore, use the standard personnel rates listed below only where additional personnel
reimbursement is appropriate.
Actual costs for travel and per diem, if applicable, must also be included in the reimbursement. Use the
following link for travel and per diem rates: https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/perdiem.cfm.
For reimbursable agreements which utilize apportioned reimbursable budget authority, the Reimbursable
Personnel Cost (RPC) tables shall be consulted. The RPC is used to provide calculated costs for
reimbursable positions to be included in planned or anticipated Inter/Intra-Agency agreements, when the
Coast Guard is the Seller agency. The rate table can be found on the CG Portal:
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/cg833/SitePages/Costing%20tools.aspx.

STANDARD RATES FOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF DAMAGED AIDS TO
NAVIGATION
Rate Computation
There are two possible components that may apply when computing a charge for repair or replacement of
a damaged or destroyed aid. These components are discussed below; however, they do not include vessel,
boat or vehicle time which must be determined separately based upon this instruction. Additional policy
on charges for aids to navigation work is contained in 33 CFR Part 74.
Rate Application - Replacement Costs
For the replacement of buoys, chains and the related transportation cost, see SILC ATON/MER Asset
Line Manager website at the following URL: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg4/cg432/products.asp.
Units which do not have access to the internet can obtain hard copies of these rates from Commandant
(CG-833), specifically the Costing Team.
Use actual costs for sinkers, lighting and power equipment. Include costs to install equipment on the
buoy (retro, wiring, etc.).
Replacement cost for structures should be actual cost of materials. If replacement is accomplished using a
contractor, charges should include contract cost, contract management cost (including inspection) and
actual cost of government furnished equipment.
Charges shall include the cost of temporary floating aids until the damaged aid is replaced.
Replacement costs shall also include government labor and shall be computed using the personnel rates
contained in this Instruction.
Rate Application - Temporary Aids
Charges for temporary aids shall include actual cost for retrofit and signal equipment needed to place the
aid in the water. After retrieval of the temporary aid, include cost (either Sector or unit) to place buoy in
ready for issue condition.
Monthly servicing costs vary throughout the Coast Guard and shall be computed locally at the District
level by prorating costs based upon the following categories and time periods. For example, the monthly
servicing cost for a steel buoy would be computed by dividing the 6-year overhaul cost by 72.
A 6-year overhaul cost for steel buoys
A 6-year life for lighting and power equipment
A 2-year life for moorings
A 20-year life for steel buoys with the exception of 4th and 6th class
A 2-year life for 4th and 6th class buoys
An 8-year life for foam buoys
A 6-year life for plastic buoys
For the purposes of applying these computed rates, a month is considered to be 16 or more days of use.
Labor for buoy servicing at support facilities shall be computed using the personnel rates contained in this
instruction.
Questions concerning computing charges for damaged aids should be referred to Commandant (CGNAV-1) or SILC ATON/MER Asset Line Manager at 202-475-5627.
