Government. Upon termination of the grant or need for the property, such property
shall be reported to the grantor agency for further agency utilization or, if appropriate,
for reporting to the General Services Administration for other Federal agency
utilization. Appropriate disposition instructions will be issued to the grantee after
completion of Federal agency review.
5. The grantees' property management standards for nonexpendable personal property shall also include the
following procedural requirements.
a. Property records shall be maintained accurately and provide for: a description of the
property; manufacturer's serial number or other identification number; acquisition date
and cost; source of the property; percentage of Federal funds used in the purchase of
property; location, use, and condition of the property; and ultimate disposition data
14
including sales price or the method used to determine current fair market value if the
grantee reimburses the grantor agency for its share.
b. A physical inventory of property shall be taken and the results reconciled with the
property records at least once every two years to verify the existence, current
utilization, and continued need for the property.
c. A control system shall be in effect to insure adequate safeguards to prevent loss,
damage, or theft to the property. Any loss, damage, or theft of nonexpendable
property shall be investigated and fully documented.
d. Adequate maintenance procedures shall be implemented to keep the property in
good condition.
e. Proper sales procedures shall be established for unneeded property which would provide
for competition to the extent practicable and result in the highest possible return.
6. When the total inventory value of any unused expendable personal property exceeds £500 at the
expiration of need for any Federal grant purposes, the grantee may retain the property or sell the
property as long as he compensates the Federal Government for its share in the cost. The amount of
compensation shall be computed in accordance with 4a(2)(b).
7. Specified standards for control of intangible property are provided as follows:
a. If any program produces patentable items, patent rights, processes, or inventions, in the
course of work aided by a Federal grant, such fact shall be promptly and fully reported
to the grantor agency. Unless there is prior agreement between the grantee and grantor
on disposition of such items, the grantor agency shall determine whether protection on
such invention or discovery shall be sought and how the rights in the invention or
discovery—including rights under any patent issued thereon—shall be allocated and
administered in order to protect the public interest consistent with "Government Patent
Policy" (President's Memorandum for Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies,
August 23, 1971, and Statement of Government Patent Policy as printed in 36 F.R.
16889).
b. Where the grant results in a book or copyrightable material, the author or grantee is
free to copyright the work, but the Federal grantor agency reserves a royalty-free,
-nonexclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to
authorize others to use the work for Government purposes.
