Sec. 6304. Using grant agreements

    An executive agency shall use a grant agreement as the legal 
instrument reflecting a relationship between the United States 
Government and a State, a local government, or other recipient when--
        (1) the principal purpose of the relationship is to transfer a 
    thing of value to the State or local government or other recipient 
    to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized 
    by a law of the United States instead of acquiring (by purchase, 
    lease, or barter) property or services for the direct benefit or use 
    of the United States Government; and
        (2) substantial involvement is not expected between the 
    executive agency and the State, local government, or other recipient 
    when carrying out the activity contemplated in the agreement.
