A WSFR Regional Division recommended that we retain the following provision from the now-rescinded 522 FW 13, Hunter and Aquatic Education: – "The State may use volunteer services for meeting the State share of grant costs provided they require such services for completion of the project. (A)  You may use the value of volunteer instructors as an in-kind contribution to match only the costs of work on instructional objectives.  (B) To establish a value for volunteer instructors, you may use the hourly rate (including fringe benefits) for a State conservation officer, education officer, or similar position within the agency." Clarify why it is necessary to: (a) be specific about matching only the costs of work on instructional objectives, (b) specify the positions, and (c) state the requirements on hourly rates and fringe benefits?  Does this add value to what's in 2 CFR 200.434 and 2 CFR 200.306(e)?  If this policy is still appropriate after this reexamination, incorporate it into regulations.
