Sec. 14.33  Federally-owned and exempt property.

    (a) Federally-owned property. (1) Title to federally-owned property 
remains vested in the Federal Government. Recipients shall submit 
annually an inventory listing of federally-owned property in their 
custody to the DoC operating unit. Upon completion of the award or when 
the property is no longer needed, the recipient shall report the 
property to the DoC operating unit for further Federal agency 
utilization.
    (2) If the DoC operating unit has no further need for the property, 
it shall be declared excess and reported to the General Services 
Administration, unless the DoC has statutory authority to dispose of the 
property by alternative methods (e.g., the authority provided by the 
Federal Technology Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 3710(I)) to donate research 
equipment to educational and non-profit organizations in accordance with 
E.O. 12821, ``Improving Mathematics and Science Education in Support of 
the National Education Goals.'') Appropriate instructions shall be 
issued to the recipient by the Grants Officer.
    (b) Exempt property. When statutory authority exists, the DoC has 
the option to vest title to property acquired with Federal funds in the 
recipient without further obligation to the Federal Government and under 
conditions the DoC considers appropriate. Such property is ``exempt 
property.'' Should the DoC not establish conditions, title to exempt 
property upon acquisition shall vest in the recipient without further 
obligation to the Federal Government.
