Sec. 21.115  Compliance and implementation.

    The Head of each DoD Component that awards or administers grants and 
cooperative agreements, or his or her designee:
    (a) Is responsible for ensuring compliance with the DoDGARs within 
that DoD Component.
    (b) May authorize the issuance of regulations, procedures, or 
instructions that are necessary to implement DGARS policies and 
procedures within the DoD Component, or to supplement the DoDGARs to 
satisfy needs that are specific to the DoD Component, as long as such 
regulations, procedures, or instructions do not impose additional costs 
or administrative burdens on recipients or potential recipients. Heads 
of DoD Components or their designees shall establish policies and 
procedures in areas where uniform policies and procedures throughout the 
DoD Component are required, such as for:
    (1) Requesting class deviations from the DoDGARs (see Sec. 21.125) 
or exemptions from the provisions of 31 U.S.C. 6301 et seq., that govern 
the appropriate use of contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements 
(see 32 CFR 22.220).
    (2) Designating one or more Grant Appeal Authorities to resolve 
claims, disputes, and appeals (see 32 CFR 22.815).
    (3) Reporting data on assistance awards and programs, as required by 
31 U.S.C. chapter 61 (see subpart C of this part).

    (4) Prescribing requirements for use and disposition of real 
property acquired under awards, if the DoD Component makes any awards to 
institutions of higher education or to other nonprofit organizations 
under which real property is acquired in whole or in part with Federal 
funds (see 32 CFR 32.32).
