             TITLE 40--PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS
 
       CHAPTER 10--MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
 
                   SUBCHAPTER II--PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
 
Sec. 483c. Excess personal property held by grantee of Federal 
        agency; certification of authorized use; title to grantee; re-
        transfer of property used for unauthorized purpose
        
    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and except as the 
Administrator of General Services may otherwise provide on 
recommendation of the head of an affected Federal agency, excess 
personal property acquired by a Federal agency pursuant to the authority 
of section 202 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act 
of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 483) and furnished to and held by a grantee of such 
agency prior to October 17, 1977, under grants made pursuant to programs 
established by law shall be regarded as surplus property. The 
Administrator of General Services upon receipt of a certification by the 
head of an agency that the property is being used by the grantee for the 
purposes for which it was furnished shall transfer title to the property 
to the grantee. The grantor agency shall survey Federal property 
acquired from excess sources in the possession of its grantees and shall 
notify the Administrator of General Services, not later than two hundred 
and forty days from October 17, 1976, of those items of property which 
are being used by each grantee for the purpose for which it was 
furnished, and those items which are not being used by each grantee. If 
the property is not being so used, the Administrator shall transfer such 
property to an appropriate State agency, upon its request, for 
distribution in accordance with subsection 203(j) of the Federal 
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 484(j)). 
Property not so transferred shall be otherwise disposed of pursuant to 
the provisions of that Act [40 U.S.C. 471 et seq.].
