Sec. 3015.43  Royalties and other income earned from a copyrighted work.



    (a) This section applies to royalties, license fees, and other 

income earned by a recipient from a copyrighted work developed under the 

grant or subgrant. Income of that kind is covered by this section 

whether a third party or the recipient acts as the publisher, seller, 

exhibitor, or performer of the copyrighted work. In some cases the 

recipient incurs costs to earn the income but does not charge these 

costs to USDA

grant funds, to required cost-sharing or matching funds, or to other 

program income. Costs of that kind may be deducted from the gross income 

in order to determine how much must be treated as program income.

    (b) The provisions of the grant award govern the disposition of 

income subject to this section. If the provisions of the grant award do 

not treat this kind of income, there are no USDA requirements governing 

its disposition. A recipient is not prohibited from imposing 

requirements of its own on the disposition of this kind of income which 

is earned by its subrecipients provided those requirements are in 

addition to, and not inconsistent with, any requirements imposed by the 

provisions of the grant award.
