Thus, UDI must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support its claim for an award from the ATF. UDI's records should identify specific issues for which it requests compensation, the actual time spent by each employee, the applicable hourly rate, fees paid to consultants, and any other costs for which compensation is claimed.
