Sec. 30.33  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 EPA's property management staff. Upon completion of the award 

or when the property is no longer needed, the recipient shall report the 

property to EPA's property management staff for further utilization.

    (2) If EPA has no further need for the property, it shall be 

declared excess and reported to the General Services Administration, 

unless EPA 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 

Executive Order 12821, ``Improving Mathematics and Science Education in 

Support of the National Education Goals.'') Appropriate instructions 

shall be issued to the recipient by EPA's property management staff.

    (b) Exempt property. When statutory authority exists, EPA 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 EPA considers appropriate. Such property is ``exempt 

property.'' Should EPA not establish conditions, title to exempt 

property upon acquisition shall vest in
