Temporary Restraining Order Barring the DOE

On Wednesday, April 16, a federal court in Massachusetts issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) barring the DOE from implementing the 15% rate cap on DOE awards and/or terminating any grants based on a grantee's refusal to accept an indirect cost rate less than its negotiated rate.
