by reference in subsequent applications to the Department.

    (b) Duration of obligation. (1) In the case of Federal financial

the period during which the real property or structures are used for the 

purpose for which Federal financial assistance is extended or for 

another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits.

    (2) In the case of Federal financial assistance extended to provide 

personal property, the assurance will obligate the recipient for the 

period during which it retains ownership or possession of the property.

    (3) In all other cases the assurance will obligate the recipient for 

the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended.

    (c) Covenants. (1) Where Federal financial assistance is provided in 

the form of real property or interest in the property from the 

Department, the instrument effecting or recording this transfer shall 

contain a covenant running with the land to assure nondiscrimination for 

the period during which the real property is used for a purpose for 

which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another 

purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits.

    (2) Where no transfer of property is involved but property is 

purchased or improved with Federal financial assistance, the recipient 

shall agree to include the covenant described in paragraph (b)(2) of 

this section in the instrument effecting or recording any subsequent 

transfer of the property.

    (3) Where Federal financial assistance is provided in the form of 

real property or interest in the property from the Department, the 

covenant shall also include a condition coupled with a right to be 

reserved by the Department to revert title to the property in the event 

of a breach of the covenant. If a transferee of real property proposes 

to mortgage or otherwise encumber the real property as security for 

financing construction of new, or improvement of existing, facilities on 

the property for the purposes for which the property was transferred, 

the Director may, upon request of the transferee and if necessary to 

accomplish such financing and upon such conditions as he or she deems 

appropriate, agree to forbear the exercise of such right to revert title 

for so long as the lien of such mortgage or other encumbrance remains 

effective.
