The Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program is authorized to recover the reasonable costs of damage assessment and restoration planning activities under OPA, CERCLA, and NMSA. The full costs of assessment and restoration planning include direct and indirect costs.

• Direct costs cover activities that can be identified and accounted for on a damage assessment case-specific basis.
• Indirect costs reflect those expenses that collectively support the Program activities identified as direct costs, but which may not practically be traced back to a specific direct activity. Indirect costs include leave, benefits, and rent, as well as NOAA, Line Office, and DARRP support.
