(2) Activities sponsored by other Federal agencies.
(b) During the time that nonexpendable personal property is held for use on the project for which it was acquired,

for other activities without reimbursement to the Federal Government or sell the property and retain the proceeds.
(b) Nonexpendable personal property with a unit acquisition cost of 51,000 or more. The Grantee may retain
the property for other uses provided tha•compensation is made to the original Grantor agency or its successor. The
amount of compensation shall be computed by applying the percentage of Federal participation in the cost of the
original project or program to the current fair market value of the property. If the Grantee has no need for the prop-
erty and the property has further use value, the Grave shall request disposition instructions from the original Grantor
agency.
The Grantor agency shall determine whether the property can be used to meet the agency's requirements. If no require.
ment exists within that agency, the availability of the property shall be 'reported, in accordance with the guidelines
of the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR), to the General Services Administration by the Grantor
agency to determine whether a requirement for the property exists in other Federal agencies. The Grantor agency shall

request, the Grantee shall sell the property and reimburse the Grantor agency an amount computed by applying
to the sales proceeds the percentage of Federal participation in the cost of the original project or program. How-
ever, the Grantee shall be permitted to deduct and retain from the Federal share 8100 or ten percent of the proceeds,
whichever is greater, for the Grantee's selling and handling expenses.
(2) If the Grantee is instructed to ship the property elsewhere the Grantee shall be reimbursed by the benefitting
Federal agency with an amount which is computed by applying the percentage of the Grantee participation in the
cost of the original grant project or program to the current fair market value of the property, plus any reasonable
