ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding

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

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:

The recipient no longer needs the
property for any purpose.

for reporting related to grants, and the
GSA does not award grants, we are

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.
