SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

GSA, on behalf of the Federal Grants 

Streamlining Initiative, proposes to 

issue a new standard form, the Real 

Property Status Report (SF–XXXX). The 

SF–XXXX will be used to collect 

information related to real property 

when required by a Federal financial 

assistance award. The SF–XXXX 

includes a cover page, an Attachment A 

and Attachment B. The purpose of this 

new form is to report real property 

status or to request agency instructions 

on real property that was or will be 

provided or acquired, in whole or in 

part, under a Federal financial 

assistance award (e.g., grant, cooperative 

agreement, etc.), including real property 

that was improved (special 

circumstances apply to improvements) 

using Federal funds and real property 

that was donated to a Federal project in 

the form of a match or cost sharing 

donation. The form does not create any 

new reporting requirements. It does 

establish a standard format for reporting 

real property status under financial 

assistance awards. It does establish a 

standard annual reporting date of 

September 30 to be used, if an award 

does not specify an annual reporting 

date. The standard form will replace any 

agency unique forms currently in use to 

allow uniformity of collection and to 

support future electronic submission of 

information. 

Background 

Public Law 106–107 requires the 

OMB to direct, coordinate, and assist 

Executive Branch departments and 

agencies in establishing an interagency 

process to streamline and simplify 

Federal financial assistance procedures 

for non-Federal entities. The law also 

requires executive agencies to develop, 

submit to Congress, and implement a 

plan for that streamlining and 

simplification. Twenty-six Executive 

Branch agencies jointly submitted a 

plan to the Congress in May 2001. The 

plan described the interagency process 

through which the agencies would 

review current policies and practices 

and seek to streamline and simplify 

them. The process involved interagency 

work groups under the auspices of the 

U.S. Chief Financial Officers Council, 

Grants Policy Committee. The plan also 

identified substantive areas in which 

the interagency work groups had begun 

their review. Those areas are part of the 

Federal Grants Streamlining Initiative. 

This proposed form is an undertaking 

of the interagency Post-Award 

Workgroup that supports the Federal 

Grants Streamlining Initiative. 

Additional information on the Federal 

Grants Streamlining Initiative, which 

focuses on implementing the Federal 

Financial Assistance Management 

Improvement Act of 1999 (Public Law 

106–107), is set forth in the Federal 

Register published on September 13, 

2006 (71 FR 54098). An overview of the 

SF–XXXX and five other report forms 

being developed under the Initiative 

was provided during a webcast of the 

Grants Policy Committee of the U.S. 

Chief Financial Officer Council held on 

March 8, 2007 (72 FR 7090, February 14, 

2007). 

Under the standards for management 

and disposition of federally-owned 

property and real property acquired 

under assistance awards (real property 

status) in 2 CFR Part 215, the ‘‘Uniform 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 221 / Friday, November 16, 2007 / Notices 64647 

Administrative Requirements for Grants 

and Agreements with Institutions of 

Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other 

Non-Profit Organizations,’’ and the 

‘‘Uniform Administrative Requirements 

for Grants and Agreements with State 

and Local Governments,’’ codified by 

Federal agencies at 53 FR 8048, on 

March 11, 1988, recipients may be 

required to provide Federal agencies 

with information concerning property in 

their custody annually, at award 

closeout or when the property is no 

longer needed. During the public 

consultation process mandated by 

Public Law 106–107, recipients 

suggested the need for clarification of 

these requirements and the 

establishment of a standard form to help 

them submit appropriate property 

information when required. The Real 

Property Status Report (SF–XXXX) is to 

be used in connection with 

requirements listed in the table below 

and Federal awarding agency 

guidelines: 

For . . . A recipient must . . . When . . . Under . . . 

Federally-owned property ..... Submit an inventory listing .............. Annually, with information accurate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

GSA, on behalf of the Federal Grants 

Streamlining Initiative, proposes to 

issue a new standard form, the Tangible 

Personal Property Report (SF–XXXX). 

The SF–XXXX includes a cover page, an 

Annual Report attachment, a Final 

Report attachment, a Disposition/ 

Request Report attachment and a 

Supplemental Sheet to provide detailed 

item information. The purpose of this 

new form is to provide a standard form 

for assistance recipients to use when 

they are required to provide a Federal 

agency with information related to 

federally owned property, or equipment 

and supplies (tangible personal 

property) acquired with assistance 

award funds. The form does not create 

any new reporting requirements. It does 

establish a standard annual reporting 

date of September 30 to be used if an 

award does not specify an annual 

reporting date. The standard form will 

replace any agency unique forms 

currently in use to allow uniformity of 

collection and to support future 

electronic submission of information. 

Background 

Public Law 106–107 requires OMB to
