Jul 20, 2015Depends on who the recipient of the fees is. Revenue must be received by grantee or subgrantee to meet criteria for Program Income.
Ryan Oster
Jul 24, 2015Concur with P. King comment above. Program income is clearly defined in 50 CFR 80.120 and in 2 CFR 200.80. If the revenue meets the definition of Program Income, then it should be treated as such.

Jul 24, 2015And the exception to the program income criteria for incidental fee collected by agency/instructors is noted in 80.120
(c) Program income does not include:
(3) Cash received by the agency or by volunteer instructors to cover incidental costs of a class for hunter or aquatic-resource education;

Apr 28, 2016C(3) was the very section proposed for removal, and placing an additional example of program income above it. This was a regional suggestion.

May 06, 2016In general terms aren't those cost considered incidental... covers the cost for out of pocket expenses that the volunteer pays to conduct the class.....

May 06, 2016The comment came from a State or Regional hunter's ed coordinator during the last rulemaking and we wanted to address it. All of the recent comments I have received are in line with yours, that these incidental costs should not be counted as program income. It's great to get your input on this, so thanks for posting it.
When we meet to address this among the other ideas proposed for the first round of 50 CFR 80 revisions, I'll propose that we not change the section that goes over these fees, per feedback from respondents thus far.
