    This subpart sets forth the policies and procedures governing the 
acceptance and administration of contributions of money or property 
intended solely for the benefit of all patients in a ward or unit or a 
particular hospital or station of the Public Health Service, excluding

monies or other valuables belonging to specific patients which are 
accepted and held in custody for the convenience of the patient until 
such time as he or she wishes to withdraw them, and (b) gifts to the 
United States to support Public Health Service functions under section 
501 of the Public Health Service Act or other statutory provisions, 
which may be accepted and administered only in accordance with such 
statutory provisions or other applicable laws.
