Sec. 35.63  Report of and accounting for contributions.

    (a) Contributions of money accepted pursuant to Sec. 35.62 
(hereinafter referred to as ``patient fund'') will be treated 
consistently with Federal deposit rules and as supplemented with 
appropriate procedures of the facility. This regulation is not intended 
to exclude contributions for the benefit of patients from proper 
accountability and control of funds and property.
    (b) Contributions of property accepted pursuant to Sec. 35.62 shall 
be recorded and accounted for in the same manner as other property of a 
similar kind maintained in the hospital or station, but with suitable 
identification so that it can be distinguished from government-owned 
property.
