    Although the Secretary may approve exceptions which are consistent 
with program purposes, in addition to other terms, conditions, and 
assurances required by law, each grantee must meet the following 
requirements:
    (a) Use of funds. Any funds granted under this subpart shall be 
expended solely for the purpose for which the funds were granted in 
accordance with the approved application and budget, the regulations of 
this subpart, the terms and conditions of the award, and the applicable 
cost principles in subpart Q of 45 CFR part 74.
    (b) Library resources--(1) Provision of services. The grantee shall 
modify and increase its library resources to provide supportive services 
to other health-sciences informational activities.
    (2) Access to and fees for services. The grantee shall provide free 
loan services to qualified users or, in lieu of loans, make available 
photoduplicated or facsimile copies of biomedical materials which 
qualified requesters may retain. Reasonable fees may be charged for 
copies or other services (other than free loan services) provided by a 
grantee under this subpart: Provided, That equal access to the health-
information resources of the region or of the national network is 
assured. These fees shall be designed to recover expenses. The grantee's 
access policies shall determine the qualifications of individuals or 
organizations for access to the services provided under the grant, so 
long as those policies are consistent with the mandatory service 
undertakings of the program. The Secretary may review the grantee's 
access policies to assure compliance with this requirement.
