Authority to vest title in tangible personal property for research The head of an executive agency may vest title in tangible personal property in a nonprofit institution of higher education or in a nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is con- ducting scientific research— (1) when the property is bought with amounts provided under a procurement con- tract, grant agreement, or cooperative agree- ment with the institution or organization to conduct basic or applied scientific research; (2) when the head of the agency decides the vesting furthers the objectives of the agency; (3) without further obligation to the United States Government; and (4) under conditions the head of the agency considers appropriate.

The word ‘‘equipment’’ is omitted as being included in ‘‘tangible personal prop- erty’’. The words ‘‘amounts provided under a contract, grant agreement, or cooperative agreement’’ are sub- stituted for ‘‘such funds’’ for clarity. The words ‘‘de- cides the vesting’’ are substituted for ‘‘it is deemed’’ for clarity. The word ‘‘conditions’’ is substituted for ‘‘terms and conditions’’ because it is inclusive. § 6307. Interpretative guidelines and exemptions The Director of the Office of Management and Budget may— (1) issue supplementary interpretative guide- lines to promote consistent and efficient use of procurement contracts, grant agreements, and cooperative agreements; and (2) exempt a transaction or program of an executive agency from this chapter.

Use of multiple relationships for different parts of jointly financed projects This chapter does not require an executive agency to establish only one relationship be- tween the United States Government and a State, a local government, or other recipient on a jointly financed project involving amounts from more than one program or appropriation when different relationships would otherwise be appropriate for different parts of the project.
