Sec. 74.33  Federally-owned and exempt property.



    (a)(1) Title of federally-owned property remains vested in the 

Federal Government. Recipients shall submit annually an inventory 

listing of federally-owned property in their custody to the HHS awarding 

agency. Upon completion of the award or when the property is no longer 

needed, the recipient shall report the property to the HHS awarding 

agency for further agency utilization.

    (2) If the HHS awarding agency has no further need for the property, 

it shall be declared excess and reported to the General Services 

Administration, unless the HHS awarding agency 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 nonprofit organizations in 

accordance with E.O. 12821, ``Improving Mathematics and Science 

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

instructions shall be issued to the recipient by the HHS awarding 

agency.

    (b) For research awards to certain types of recipients, 31 U.S.C. 

6306 authorizes HHS to vest title to property acquired with Federal 

funds in the recipient without further obligation to the Federal 

government and under conditions that HHS considers appropriate. Such 

property is ``exempt property''. Exempt property shall not be subject to 

the requirements of Sec. 74.34, except that it shall be subject to 

paragraphs (h)(1), (2), and (4) of that section
